How recent Is "recently?".

Also, did the legit return Involve any complications? In terms of the SE, what method are you planning to use?

Human error could play into this SE.

Then It's okay to perform another SE.

The DNA Is fine.

In terms of the box being tampered with, the objective Is for the Item to be stolen In transit, so It must be light enough to not register a weight on consignment.

Are you planning to do It yourself on two separate accounts, and then claim (on one account) that you received the cheap Item Instead of the high value Item?

If so, It's no different to the wrong Item received method.

The missing Item method Is weight-specific, hence the dimensions are Irrelevant.

There are many methods available - wrong Item received, sealed box, obviously the DNA, disposed of the faulty Item etc.

A PR may also be requested for Inexpensive Items.

I've personally experienced It with a product < 100$. Do remember that a police report Is simply part of protocol to move forward with your claim.
