Hello everyone.

Long time lurker here.
I'm moving out of my flat and I would like to use the address for an SE before I leave. My account is in very good standing (+4 years and over £3000 of orders). I've only done one SE in this account (EB).
I was thinking of doing an SE on an expensive laptop from UK Amazon. The reported weight is 1kg, although I find that hard to believe. I was wondering what would the best method be for this particular item considering that an OTP will be required on delivery. Would a EB work or should I go for wrong item delivered?
Thanks

Too heavy for EB. DNA if no OTP or wrong item delivered.

How long ago was this?

I was wondering what would the best method be for this particular item considering that an OTP will be required on delivery.

On the grounds you have a mature account, why not hit another company that only requires a signature on receipt of goods?

Would a EB work or should I go for wrong item delivered?

As per @BitPlayer's post above, use the wrong Item received method.

I'm thinking of moving forward with the wrong item received method. Is there any chance that they will ask for the outer packaging that the wrong item came in? If so, how would I be able to proceed with the SE given that the outer packaging will have a different name and address?
Also, the laptop in question has a reported weight of 1.9kg in the manufacturer's website. On Amazon though the package weight is only 1kg. Am I missing something here?

When I did wrong item received, here is bullet pointed the order of how I did things for success:

• I ordered iPhone to my address
  
• I ordered "wrong item" to an Amazon locker on a different account using a different device and a different bank card
  
• I got in touch with Amazon about 20 minutes after my order arrived saying I had received wrong item - they demanded police report - I disputed this on the phone and got put through to manager
  
• Manager told me to send pictures of wrong item in iPhone Amazon box with pictures of the Amazon box barcodes etc. (this was a tight fit with the "wrong item" I used, so I recommend trying to order something of similar dimensions to a laptop to avoid running into issues with this
  
• They told me to send it back, so I obliged and UPS picked it up the next day
  
• I had to wait 2 weeks for my refund as they didnt scan it on delivery which was annoying but refund did land.
  
  

This is a brief breakdown of what happened with my Wrong Item received method and it was a great success.

So you placed the wrong item in the same box the iPhone arrived in? I think this may be a important step

Yes I did, I think this is an important step as the barcodes are likely to show an iPhone should be in the box.

This was about a month ago, had to stay firm as it took them a while to accept that I did not have to file a police report, I also had trouble after 2 weeks of them receiving it; CS rep kept saying they did not receive parcel despite tracking saying otherwise, once again got put through to a manager, had to fill out a brief form explaining when I sent it, what I sent etc. and I got my refund in my bank 2 days later.

Did the manager insist you file a police report? What did you say not too?
