But once it is specified, it will show up on the tracking records that I choose to have it safe drop.

Given you've authorized to leave It at a safe place/location, It'll make you responsible for loss of goods.

If you've chosen the safe place, your bank will side with the seller.

If It's left unattended or a signature Is requested, the DNA Is good to go.

For the reason already mentioned, don't choose the safe place yourself.

You're most welcome.

His discretion doesn't necessarily mean the correct decision was made to deem the drop off location as a safe place.

As such, you can use It In your defence when hitting the DNA.

If he purely hands you the package with or without a signature, you can certainly DNA It.

Is a copy taken of your ID, or Is It visually verified?

It will significantly complicate the DNA, so It's best to disregard It.

See how you go with the sealed box method.

Thank you as always for your insights and time. That was my second option by doing the sealed box. Apparently, they go quite easy with return and offer a trial period where if you aren't satisfied you can return it within the allowed timeframe. I did some researched and the official website has a section for refurbished product where they sell used and certified products from return for a lower price. They mentioned on the refurbished section that

which mean if they every suspect that the sealed return is tampered they might take a more meticulous check. I might give it a go or simply try an authorized retailer instead that ship with a courier.

Not sure if they thoroughly check sealed returns. Obviously, I don't want to be stuck with an expensive retail price tag headphone that actually cost a few bucks to make  lol!

Just DNA'd my order. Customer Service shipped me a replacement, and I'll probably return it.
