Thank you for the response.

I do have an old xbox that doesn't work anymore. Should I just return it with the broken xbox inside? Wouldn't they check the content when they receive it?

Thanks

I would recommend saying that the product never arrived in this case. They do check the products but I'm not sure how well because it has worked for me in the past on everything I've done.  I have read from @mothered that if you say its broken they are very unlikely to test the product. If the two xboxs are the same models than it would work otherwise I wouldn't try it. Pretty much everyone knows what an Xbox is and what the models look like as well as the really clear images on the front of the box but then again the Amazon workforce despise their work and the chances of them caring is possibly very low for this reason.

Possible issues you can run into is if the parcel is left with a neighbour so maybe you can state a location for it to be left like the back door. After you've called amazon they will put you through to a department that deals with the items that are over £40 they will contact the courier company and ask them for an "investigation". The chances are somebody will come around to ask what happened and you just stick to your guns and say what's only necessary. This is the reason I don't do this method its the same people for me every time in a very small area so its suspicious but even if I did then and now nothing would happen but I just can't be bothered to speak to them every time.

By the way, these " investigations "don't happen on items below £40 use that as you will but it's a good idea to buy some small things between SE's lowers suspicion but you are likely good for a while.

Hit me up for anything else

Hey thanks for the answer.

I'll talk to them through chat, and every delivery I had with amazon was done by 'Amazon Shipping' (except when I pay 4GBP for before 1PM). This one will be done with Amazon Shipping I reckon.
I never have to sign anything, they'll just ring, I go downstairs and they hand me the package.

I've never encountered Amazon shipping before I'm guessing its therefore delivered by Amazon personnel ? . If they hand you the package you might run into some troubles they only way to get out of that was if you claimed that you didn't go down to pick it up but that wouldn't work seeing as they called your phone number. My advice would be to have someone else deliver the package if possible such as the royal mail.
