Can you elaborate on the exact technique your using ?
It involves replacing and deleting info on the prepaid shipping label. Works about 80% of the time.
FTID as described in Bob’s ebook might work with carriers encoding only part of the address in their barcode (such as UPS), but even then it is very unreliable and incomplete. Doesn’t take a lot of thought to realize the shortcomings of the method and to come up with your own improved solution. Hint: a label with big fat blank zones where there should be writing attracts attention. Other hint: carriers now use barcodes to sort their packages, so whatever the written address shows will be overruled by what the scan says.
It won’t last anyways, the carriers are patching it by re-weighing the packages more systematically even for return services with prepaid consignments. I give it maybe another 6 months before this method starts crumbling.
Did you find SN and then FTID the return? I’m going to try it with nespresso today.

Something like that, yes. To my knowledge Nespresso only provides repair options with either a tech coming to your place or bringing the machine to a local repair shop. My info might be outdated though.
