I am new to SEing so do not take my words too seriously.
It seems like doing what you suggested would so to speak be biting off more than you can chew.
It seems to me like a mountainous task because I doubt a policy/protocol exists in Amazon for such a unique and rare claim.
Doing that could severely complicate things and make Amazon take this SE a lot more seriously because you are insinuating that the driver or someone else has tampered with your package and might require an extended investigation.
Moreover, you could be implicating innocent people into your SE which is in my opinion unethical but that is up to you on whether you feel that holds weight or not.

I know it might not be an easy decision, but I would take a loss and do one of three things. Either return the item to Amazon, keep it for personal use (if you can afford to), or sell it on a secondary marketplace for close to break even/ a small loss. Why secondary market place? I have read stories on this forum where Amazon have closed accounts and then after returning the proper item, the user still did not receive a refund. Even though the risk may be minute for you, it is something to consider especially of an item of such a high value.

Thank you for your detailed reply. You are right. There is some risk that despite normal return they will close my account and I will not get the money. So far they have only threatened me to close it or not be able to make any more orders.

Blaming the driver seems immoral to me on second thought. Thank you. I only want to damage DPD as a company, but not the courier.
