They indeed are talking about some sort of weight but I think they are only bluffing.

Please elaborate further on this.

I changed my story half way trough

This Is bad practice and as you've experienced, It will certainly raise suspicion to the point of becoming a complex and lengthy claims process. Moreover, the probability of failure Is more likely than not.

What exactly did you say?

If i were you, i would just use the Online return center and return the original item, since it's clear this SE has failed. Create another account and try again with better storyline. Good luck!

Would be using the online return sender with FTID be to risky? @mothered Can you weight in?

My view on the flawed so-called FTID method Is clear.

It's an expensive item, it's most likely this won't work. As I said, just accept your SE has failed (return the correct item, get your money back) and move one to the other.
This is my opinion, you can chose to proceed otherwise and take your chances.

Changing the events of the SE was bad practice by the OP, which ultimately led to the array of Inconsistencies/Issues.

I highly suggest if you can't afford to lose 1k+ to just return the item. They've already figured you out mate.

I was over confident and stupid...

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Take the positive out of the negative- It's a learning experience that has taught you what "not to do" with future SEs.
