The pods weigh 4 grams, and the charging case at 38 grams. The missing Item method Is Ideal.

In that case, what is the threshold for "missing items" method to fail? I'd assume it varies from company to company, but generally I'm guessing anything under 1kg should work and anything over is more likely to fail?

For Instance, you cannot use the "missing Item" method on an Item that weighs 1kg, nor box the company by returning a monitor.

Also in response to this, I feel like this isn't entirely accurate. Missing item has worked for me on numerous occasions with the weight being completely off. You say that you cannot use the missing item method on something that weighs over 1kg. I'd say attempting this method for things over 1kg can be proved as a  false claim by the company, hence the refund cannot guarantee success. However, there are several companies who will not even verify the weight of the package and will refund simply out of good will. For example, I've done a £800 zalando partial (stuff I claimed was missing was about 15kg and the whole package weighed about 20kg). The refund was still successful and only took 2 days.

My post Is based on an Investigation opened with the carrier, whereby the consignment details are cross-checked with dispatch.

In this case, It "will" fail.

I guess so. That makes sense. I'd still say you can pull off a partial even if the weight doesn't match. If an investigation is opened with carrier it will fail as you say, but seems to me like there are many companies who don't even cross-check with the carrier. They just do a small investigation contacting the warehouse, in which case the method is likely to succeed. There is definitely a risk doing it this way though. I think your method aims for an almost guaranteed success, whereas the method I mentioned is higher risk but higher reward.

It certainly depends whether the (weight) details are cross-checked with the carrier.

As you've mentioned and likewise with myself, not all companies check but In the event they do, the SE will most likely fail. I'm the type who leaves nothing to chance, hence exhaust every avenue to aim for a successful outcome.
