MacBook I took the L and just kept it they would only accept return if UPS picked up the parcel hence FTID wouldn't work, Uniqlo worked the rep was just being annoying so I had to be persistent non stop about items missing and Diesel is still pending investigation I was told to wait 10 days and I've phoned them on 3 separate occasions and they're just saying that DPD is still investigating the parcel's location

Yeah still under investigation they won't move forward with the claim until the carrier responds

Thanks for the update. Currently in the process of a Uniqlo refund, let’s hope it goes through.

Yo howd it go?

Got the refund after a few days

Congratsss !! What was the method and amount ?

Sunglass Hut designer shades 3x
Walmart Airpods 1x
Philips S/N SE 1x
Macys Perfume 1x
Gillette Claim 1x

Philips is still easy, sunglass hut is just giving away shades lol. And Gillette is pretty smooth, for 50 bucks and under they usually dont ask for pop, anything over and you'll pop.

how much was the sunglasses hut that you hit, 3 designer shades at once?

The 3 shades were 3 different orders a month apart. Price of each, around 300.

Best buy - espresso machine - $750 - DNA - fresh acc

That's interesting. After doing like 20 DNA's in 2021 and 2022 I find Best Buy are the worst now. They lie and say they are reshipping and even make it show up in your orders but then cancel after an investigation. This a was a $1200 laptop that I am now empty boxing and using serial number but still. The Indian reps are notorious liars.
Same with Amazon. I have to ftid with them every time.

I consider myself an intermediate refunder/SE been doing it for 2 years now but those 2 retailers are bitches.

Is FTID still working with Az?

Agreed.

In my view, Amazon Is slightly ahead of being the biggest thickheads who totally lack common sense and logic.

I had a fun fail today. Grabbed a Sonos SN off eBay to start a warranty claim but the live chat agent told me… that the SN had already been used for attempted returns several times in the last two days. Oops.

Lesson learned: only use serial numbers from very very recent eBay ads so you minimize the chances of them having already been used for SE…

How does the SN work? As I’ve got a serial number of a fairly new MacBook… do I just message apple say it’s broken and they will send one to my address ? Even tho I haven’t got a clue where the actual mac is in the county

Essentially yes. But I personally wouldn't touch Apple with a ten foot pole as of today. Waste of time and their customer service has become an angering, pitiful joke.

Some recent successes:

Sonos Sub, SN + envelope method, $900
Sonos Beam, SN + envelope method, $500
Google Pixel Buds Pro, SN + empty envelope method, $200
Jlab earphones, SN method, no RMA needed, $100
Jlab headphones, SN method, no RMA needed, $100
Sephora (Dyson Airwrap), empty envelope method, $900 (claim took over a month of continuous follow-ups, do not recommend)

Some recent fails:

Hiboy electric scooter: SN method worked all summer long, manufacturer now cross-checking invoices, which means we cannot use fake invoices anymore. Excellent customer service anyway
Anker Nebula projector: SN + disposed of faulty item method, used to work until at least September, now cross-checking invoices and refusing to deal with claims when item purchased outside their website/Amazon

can you get more detailed how did you do sonos? They require an account with an actual sonos connected, thank you!
