Hi buddy,
As for the advice I approve of those of the colleague, keep me updated.
I give you another advice: Never put images with data or SN of anything on the internet.
It could make you an SE on your CPU and fail EB.
Greetings

I actually did know that, I have chosen random pictures which were posted as Amazon review.

Can the CPU be viewed externally without opening the box?

The pictures Amazon uploaded suggests you can view the CPU externally, but some of the newer reviews say it's cheaply shipped in a box that doesn't allow to see the item externally.
Guess I'll just order the CPU and hope its the latter.
If the item viewable from the outside, is an EB still possible or is it to risky because of the CCTV cameras?

You'd have to claim the whole box is empty: you didn't get the CPU nor its packaging.

Amazon doesn't have CCTV cameras In place, but given It's viewed externally, they'll use that In their defence to claim the CPU was shipped correctly.

Okay so its a warehouse error, got that. Thanks for your advice, you are helping me to get an idea of how to effectively SE.

In that case I will look for another item to SE. Still thanks for your help.

You can box them.

It's light enough to do without the need for dry Ice.

Thanks for the idea, i will read your blog. If I have any specific questions, can I PM you?

Edit:
Quick follow up question: Is there any way to measure what method works best? Boxing vs Empty Box?

In this case, they're both equally effective.

In terms of the EB, the main thing to check Is whether CCTV cameras are In place. That said, they can still be circumvented. Of course, the weight must also be compatible.

Earlier you said Amazon doesn't use CCTV cameras, so it should work right?
What about the manufactures CCTV cameras, do they matter?

Not when dealing with Amazon. They won't inquire about the production line with the manufacturer, it would be too lenghty of a job.

Thanks. I have decided to Empty Box a SSD sold by Amazon.de weighting 8g according to Amazon, price about 130€.
I'll update you if I encounter any problems.
