That aside, as stated, the phone Is too heavy for the EB/missing Item method.

What kind of methods are successful for Harvey Norman, Officeworks or JB? Don't normally see Aussie stores on SE platforms @mothered

I see the first week or so it being highly likely to get blacklisted.(06-08-2022, 02:42 PM)isaacnnn Wrote: What would you do in this situation?That's pointless imo. The phone can be blacklisted after a day, a week, a month or not at all.
Maybe wait a few weeks and see if the IMEI comes up as clean then sell it?
If you aren't going to use it yourself, I would either sell it or make an In-Store SE with that phone.
For example in NZ (could't find enough info on Aus) they can only blacklist a phone within 30 days of the lost/stolen incident occurring. Hopefully it should be fine though anyway, I didn't include the serial of IMEI on the PR either.

Unless there was another method you were hinting at that I'm missing?

When you're home you only swap the Phone for the one that you EB'ed.
Go back to your local store and return the product (make up an excuse).
On the first glance they can't see if it's the right phone, only when they power it up and compare IMEI / SN with the one on the box.

That's what my previous post Is referring to, In-store SEing (which I should've mentioned).

It may be an Indication of tightening their claims management.
We'll play It by ear for now.

Are in store Se's at places like John Lewis still a big hit?
