You said it would be way too heavy for EB which in theory is obviously true

It Is way too heavy to EB, and I don't work on theories.

The weight will definitely register on consignment. As a result, If an external Investigation Is opened with the carrier, and the company's dispatched weight matches with that taken at the carrier's depot, there's no variance Identified hence the Item could not have been missing.

I want every SE'er to understand that an Investigation can be opened at any time by any company, and the SE will fail through their findings.  Always play It safe and be realistic with your SEs.

I recommended the macbook could be EB'd with a PR direct from Apple based off what others have shared.

And rightly so, they've succeeded due to the claim being finalized without a thorough assessment. Do you really want to risk losing a MacBook If the claim Is reviewed with a fine-tooth comb?

I cover every angle and leave nothing to chance, thus my advice Is solidified by applying the most effective and appropriate measures to help ensure a favourable outcome.
