Hello,

I am thinking of doing my first SE for a pair of airpod 3rd gens. I have already ordered the sealing stickers, they will be arriving in a couple weeks.
I will probably fill the box up with small rocks, sand or dirt until the weight is matched after I have taken the airpods out of the box, making sure everything is secure so if the box is shook it will not raise suspicion from the change of weight distribution.
I was thinking about doing this through a large retail store in my country.
Through what i have seen, most people SE airpods through Amazon. Is there anything I should be extra careful about while SEing airpods using the SB method through a retail store?
Any advice regarding SEing airpods would be welcomed as well since i mentioned this will be my first SE.

Thanks.

Given the low weight I suggest you do manufacture’s EB., as that’s much easier and no risk (associated with them discovering you’ve done a sealed box swop).

I wanted to do SB to bypass any investigative procedures. Could DNA as well as EB also be a viable option for airpods? My problem with those methods is just time as I have heard that some investigations have taken months to complete.

If the box Is handled at the return by moving It around to check the external part of the box, the sound of rocks/sand/dirt will suggest the original Item Is not enclosed.

As said above, hit the EB/missing Item method.

So i could use a small amount of dry ice to match the weight of the item then make it look like the box has been tampered with, I will tape the box, then I will cut the tape to open it again then place a different coloured tape over that make it seem like the item was stolen in transit. < in theory does this sound like a viable EB?

My idea for the SB would've been to duct tape the rocks down to handle the problem of it getting shook and suggesting something has been tampered with.
I have plans to SB an Iphone 13 eventually which i will use a dummy 1:1 instead.
