Alternatively, you can opt for the sealed box method, by purchasing your Item from the company you'll be SEing and replacing It with anything of equal weight.

Provided there's no signs of Inconsistences/tampering with the box/packaging, It has a very high success rate.

I've definitely thought about this, but I don't think the items I'm considering actually have any sort of sticker or tamper seal, which I assume makes it more likely that the contents themselves will be checked.

I also worry a little bit about what happens if they DO check, and now my original story is that I returned it without even opening it, it's a pretty suspicious coincidence that I just happened to return a broken item without even opening it.
