What's the precise weight?

Was It Amazon?

If so, I'm also surprised they didn't cross-check the manifest with the carrier who serviced your delivery.

I certainly agree that Amazon (for the most part) checks claims that contain some form of Inconsistency. Of course, that's excluding their chat bot.

You were pretty fortunate to have dealt with a rep who didn't seem to care about looking further Into the claim.

It's way too heavy for the method you have In mind:

Was It actually a legit claim?

It depends on the above scenario.

If It was genuinely missing In transit, then the weight would not have registered on consignment, therefore the claim was approved. On the other hand, If you SE'd It, they wouldn't have opened an Investigation, thereby did not cross-check the weight with the carrier who serviced your delivery.

Although an OTP can be circumvented, It does require a fair bit of manipulation to succeed.

Alternatively, you can opt for the wrong Item received method - of which an OTP has no Impact on It.

Purchase a stock Item of theirs that's extremely cheap (preferably from the same category) on a different account.

When they request the return, send that. They'll see It's part of their Inventory and assume they did In fact dispatch an Incorrect Item.
