Correct, they do have the capacity to do so.

It's not often that Apple takes action under circumstances similar to yours. If It was Oculus, there'd certainly be cause for concern.

Please keep us updated.

Good news, the SE has obviously succeeded.

If they don't approve It, you can return the replacement for a refund.

If the parcel does happen to be delivered please reject delivery and it will come back to us. 
However we cannot process a refund until we recieve the original box back fom you.
I have attached a return consignment note that will send the box back to us.”
This was the reply i received.

When they receive the original box, your refund will be processed.

As stated, be sure to reject the replacement.

Did they provide specific Instructions, or only requested the box be returned?
