Claim the item was damaged and try to get a refund without return.

That wouldn't work as they would just ask you to send the item back. No way you can get a refund for an item worth 1k without sending it back lol

Not the most repeatable method but I just did it recently on a $130 item. The rep wanted a standard return at first. I made a fuss about waiting 2 weeks for the item, he then offered an instant refund once the returned item was scanned. They use some 3rd party service where a driver comes to your house and directly takes the item.
I kept asking about when they would come and what if I'm not home until he gave me refund without return.
Not the most reliable method, I was going to put a older malfunctioning version of the same box and send it back at first.
I don't know if the rep would have refunded if it was a more expensive item.

I also did a missing item method today on a $9 charging cable and got a refund for an over extended Amazon prime trial. Small beans I know.
