Argos Sealed Box - _mayur19 - 08-21-2020
Planning to do a 2.8k MacBook Pro sealed box method , and put in a Compac CQ58 which weighs 2.45kg , 450grams more than the MacBook Pro 2020 16inch model . Do you reckon it will work ? Or do they weigh they products even if they are sealed ?

It'll probably still get weighed, and 450 grams isn't a small amount for the product to differ by. Really depends how early on the shipping company will track the weight, because if it gets weighed as soon as it gets on the truck and stays 2.45kg the entire trip to Apple they'll likely know it came tampered with and it wasn't the shipping company. Ideally I'd find something closer in weight.

Do you reckon currys EBay will open the box even if it’s sealed ?

Not exactly. Melting shrink wrap around the box once it has been tampered with is common.

They won't open it until it arrives at the returns facility. All the carrier will be doing is weighing the box.
