It's not the brand/manufacturer that's of concern, but rather selecting an applicable company and most Importantly, a suitable and well-formulated method.

Suggesting Amazon Is stating the absolute obvious, so I'm sure you've already considered It.

What exactly Is your concern that's making your selection difficult? Also, please elaborate on your message below.

Sorry for late reply mother…Been real busy lately.*Note: saving amazon for last*
What makes the selection difficult is when looking at these phone brand companies (from China), I noticed that they offer the following service: send phone in so they can fix it, then they send it back fixed. Of course I don’t have the phone so it would be hard to follow through with it. I could say I threw it away because it cut my finger and it was abnormally hot, however, I don’t think that plan would work.
Also, most of the Chinese companies state that they don’t support United States, because they haven’t “Officially released it yet” when on AliExpress they obviously sell the phones to US(and yes, the AliExpress store is their official store).

So what it comes down to is me looking for a US phone company to SE.

It's understandable.

Save Amazon for more expensive Items.

As long as they're responsible for loss of goods during transit, box them.

So boxing method with Dry ice would be a viable method for SEing Amazon and Apple for apple products . Would just need to scale to exact weight and dimensions correct? @mothered

Dry Ice can be used with any Item of reasonable size & weight, but whether It's needed, obviously depends on the product weight.

It's used against the carrier, so you'd be focusing on their movements In transit when calculating the sublimation time.

The wrong Item received and the sealed box method are also suited, with the latter (sealed box) being the better of the two. So you have a number of methods to consider.

In terms of the DNA, Is an OTP required on delivery? With dry Ice and given the weight of the MacBook being somewhat heavy, you'd need to accurately calculate the sublimation time.
