You saying it takes too long for you to resell the perfume or it actually takes too long to get your money back from these companies?

To get my money back. It takes 3-4 days to process the request then takes another 3-5 days for the money to come back to me.

lol it's the same for most companies

You didn’t read the thread. If you did, you’d understand why I said that.

Ah, I don’t really mind how long it takes  but I mind that it’s £50 and it’s taking that long. That is why I asked if anyone knows any items to SE which are priced high than £50 (£100-£300 is safest) and is repeatable like perfumes and is also quite easy. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The good old AirPods swap works well both in person and online. You can buy genuine ones, exchange them for fakes that you got on the cheap (or SEd) from China, return the fakes and resell the genuine ones. Repeatable and easy enough as long as the stores don’t check the SN, which they rarely do.

There's certainly a hell of a lot of stores out there that WILL check serials, so i'd be cautious of that.

Should I just do empty box for AirPods?

You’re rarely going to get your money back faster than that, whatever website you go through. Some big box stores can be quick but they’re the exception not the norm. Besides, part of that delay likely comes from your bank, not from the store.

A claim has to go through a process, and that process involves different people, which takes time. Can’t have your cake and it eat too.

Do you know any stores that rarely check if they are genuine AirPods?
