Called them, guy felt really sorry for me, couldn't offer a replacement since I had the last one
He said to wait if it came today, and if so, to email him, but if it didn't he would just go ahead and refund me tomorrow.
No investigation etc, just this call

Am I good turning the laptop on already? It's an acer

Well done on your SE; I suppose you can turn it on already as Amazon won't be able to check it

Thank you, additional question, the laptop makes some weird noises, slight electrical buzzing when clicking or moving the cursor. Can I take it to a repair shop or will they know it's stolen / se;d?

Can I register it on Acer support in a few weeks and if they mention anythin claim I got it 2 handed?

If you didn't buy it from Acer, you should be able to register the device and request for a repair/replacement under warranty.

What if I bought it from the Acer store on Amazon?

Should be fine. They are not Apple, I don't think they control nearly as tightly.
If the origin is questioned, you can always default back to it being a gift/second hand.

Recycle through a few customer reps and see if note down the conversation. If they don't just cycle through till you find one who can process it for you.

It takes an exceptional set of skills to manipulate the driver Into handing over the package without providing an OTP.

Up untill 300? 5-700? Up untill 1000?
There are no hard and fast rules.

Obviously the higher the value, the greater the degree of difficulty.

There are numerous companies that can be successfully SEd.

What companies can be successfully SEd ?
