  1.  You can drip some water on the inside of the shipping box, and the the packing paper that's usually inside and take pictures of it.  So if they ask you can have pictures of the issue, and tell them I have a pet so I had to dipose of the broken glass.  If you call instead of using the email option your more likely not to have to deal with a photo request.  By the way what company do you have in mind.

Be careful, some perfumes have a variation In color, so be sure to apply the above to those that're clear In appearance.

Thanks so much for the pro tip, I didn't think about that angle.  I will definitely keep that in mind for a future SE.

The broken glass method should work regardless of perfume company.  So if you were to order perfume from a store that sells them in the U.K.  you could say that you noticed a strong smell when you opened the package and noticed that your bottle was broken and had to dispose of it.  The method works because companies take health and safety seriously.  Oh and the price limit depends.  But to be safe, stay under $500 for potentially less hassle.

You could try what i do. A world famous internet auction site had many many sellers selling genuine empty bottles. I always purchase an empty bottle incase they ask for a picture if they do i just break the empty bottle.

spending £5 on a genuine bottle get gain a £200 bottle works very well indeed
