If It's a recent Mac, purchase the exact same type and claim a refund by sending the old (broken) one back to the seller.

I see where you're coming from and that could work although, if the mac was scratched, they should tell since, when you've been given a mac in the box, it should have NO scratches.
If apple accept this method, this is honestly sad to see.

Well, that's an issue. I would take the stickers off and get alcohol wipes and clean the machine like it's brand new outta the box.

Simply changing swapping wouldn't work. You could simply look at the serial number and see that the two are different.

You'd be surprised at how many times It's either overlooked or classed as a write-off, hence a refund Is Issued to the account holder.
A company on the scale of Amazon process thousands of orders daily, so the probability of this working against them, Is more so than not.
