Amazon SE Weight - Tild - 12-28-2018
Got a Hard Drive coming today, weighs aboit 600g and costs £54. What's the best way to SE? My account has had legit orders with over 1000 spent for almost 2 years now and any returns done in the past have been legit returns.

Typical boxing, or various other things such as claiming it never arrived. Nowadays it can really depend on who the shipping carrier is, as some carriers have checks for particular methods.

It's sold and fufillied by Amazon, I'll see what I can do about claiming it never arrived. I'm going to do it over the phone instead of live chat.

As in the boxing method. If you're unfamiliar with it, I believe we have threads about it which could be found via the forum search function.

Just an update because why not. I rang up and said the box was empty, the Indian man said he would send a replacement with the fastest shipping method so I said that I needed to go to a store today as it was a gift needed urgenty for a family member so he refunded it along with a £5 promo. Also sent off an empty box for RAM refund worth £130 and that was successful. For my first 2 SE's and only learning about this stuff over the past 2 days I can say I'm pretty happy with what's happened to be honest :}

If you refund Amazon then eventually you'll need to use different excuses, since your "trusted" account can easily be on Amazon's shit-list. If the chat or phone rep routes you to their "specialty team," hang up immediately, this means it'll be significantly harder to get anything without an investigation (which will most likely fail) or the runaround about some TOS nonsense. Be careful and implement different methods.

Thanks for the tips. I have a few methods that I have not yet used that have an extremely high success rate that friends have used. I'm not greedy and won't be doing this extremely often or for very high priced products. Just little things like case fans for 20 or Xbox games to sell to people irl or on ebay.

Yeah, make sure to start using varied excuses that way they don't catch on. Considering you just did two, I would suggest laying low for an order or two to return that balance back to normal. But congratulations on those successful first refunds!

Given the Item's weight, I'm actually surprised they didn't open an Investigation with the carrier.
All In all, good work.
