Save Amazon for more expensive Items.

So you have a number of methods to consider.
In terms of the DNA, Is an OTP required on delivery? With dry Ice and given the weight of the MacBook being somewhat heavy, you'd need to accurately calculate the sublimation time.
No OTP required I’m in usa and we usually don’t do have that all. I see that the dry ice method best suited my SE style. I’m planning to test the sublimation time this weekend . What should you suppose I put around the dry ice anything or just plain in a box?

Oh dang....forgot to update (like I said real busy...)
Update:
I've went ahead and tried multiple companies, including Chinese phone brands. I was sucesfully able to get some reps to cave in with my edited photos, but I didn't accept the phone (I decided to practice more and become better before i start receiving things).
As for Apple: Didn't try it yet. Hope to try this weekend if time allows me!

It will give you a good Indication of how they operate, and what to expect during the claims process.

I do not recommend Apple at all. Past experiences and bias.
Best of luck.

The upside, Is their one-time exception per account, but convincing/manipulating them to Issue It, Is a different story altogether.
