I have an Amazon account that's 8 years old and has over 500 orders on it totaling to probably over $10,000. I have never done SE on this account but have returned maybe 15 items over those years for legitimate reasons (faulty items, decided I didn't like the items etc.). I have never reported an order as lost. What do you think the approximate upper limit would be for an attempt at refunding a high value electronic item using the 'Did not arrive' method? They never ask for signature on delivery. This will be a one time deal so I want to make it worthwhile. Is $800 too high? Thanks.

I have a 4 year old amazon account with a few hundred orders on and I refund items worth £200ish every few weeks, placing legitimate orders in-between and returning orders for legitimate reasons too. If I was you, I would order the $800 item and if you are not refunded immediately, contact them an hour later saying the item turned up. If they started any sort of investigation, this would most likely still be carried out and you will get an email the next day with the outcome. If they do refund the item, you know that $800 is doable.

Also, if you do have to contact them saying you found it and you still get the refund, contact them and explain it. They'll thank you for your honesty and this puts you in their good books.

This is based off previous experience so hopefully this info is useful to you.
