I just placed an order for air pods pro and a decoy item (small vape stick). They have given me OTP or sign for delivery.

I need help to which method I should use.  Most likely I will say that only the vape was in the box and air pods not.  

This is on an amazon account with loads of purchase history and no refunds as of yet.

Thank you.

Is the replacement item of close enough weight to the airpods? And did you pay attention to buy it from Amazon on a different account?

When your account and thus your purchase history is checked, they will see that you have purchased  the supposedly wrongly received item and connect the dots. What happens next is obvious.

I don't think an OTP will affect an SE with the wrong item method.

I advice using the empty box method.

alright cheers. So just to clarify I should say I received an empty box with nothing in it?

I thought i could do a partial saying only the vape has arrived and the air pods are missing.

You can do both, personally I would go with the partial to not raise suspicion and make them think it was a problem in the warehouse, so they don't start a carrier investigation. 
If you somehow manage to bypass the OTP you can DNA as well. I've done airpods a couple of times on aged accounts and all I got was a 2 days investigation, both times the package was left outside the door so they refunded.

No sorry, I thought that you wanted to use the wrong item method my bad. I believe a partial could work, wait for mothered's reply he'll give you a better answer.

With airpods the EB method is most often the best since it has a high success rate, you claim that the apple box was missing of the airpods and the charging case.

For future reference, John Lewis Is very difficult to deal with when using the EB/missing Item method - they thoroughly check each claim.

They also have CCTV cameras actively monitoring their movement of stock.
