Do you all have history w/ companies before SE? 09-17-2022, 11:38 PM

I know having history of good purchases definitely helps, but have you guys ever SE'd a company you had never purchased from before? Was it easy or way more complicated? What company?
I'm considering making a few purchases and need some ideas.

I accidentally SE'd the NFL official shop online. The tracking said it was delivered about an hour before it was really delivered, so I said DNA, and they refunded me a day later. Never bought from them ever before. Also hit up Nike with a fresh account with an EB. Both were just as easy as SE's I'd done with accounts with lots of history.

Aged account is never a bad thing but not always a requirement.

Quote:Name the company and Item and we'll work from there.
That's fair. So for the first one; Amazon with Pokemon booster packs and/or boxes. I'm decently tenured with Amazon (3 years, $2k spent, 3 items refunded all under 25 each)
And really just an easy item to SE and resell for decent money ($200-$500) as I'm currently going through some financial issues. I have a decent presence on Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy if that helps. Unfortunately, the website Ive spent the most on is my cell carrier...and I work for them lol, so no go on that.

I missed this quote.
Have you already started the SE?
Not yet, no

Okay, let's work on your following plans.

Will an OTP be required on delivery?
Also, what's the Item weight?

An Apple watch or AirPods Pro, both of which have a very high success rate with the EB/missing Item method.
Item's weight is too high for EB, 1.6LBs (725.74 grams). Obviously they're cards too, so no warranty or anything.
I've heard they give a harder time for AirPods Pro now, is that true? If so, would it be sensible to go for something similar but not Apple branded, like Powerbeats? I know when I hear certain items at my job, I'm a little more on alert, so it might be the same.
