Thanks, I want this to go as smoothly as possible. He responded with, "Great. Do you have a box? I can send a box and shipping  label if needed." So, I'm assuming that I get to choose my own carrier and I will say that each carrier won't let me ship out the laptop. I was thinking that he might eventually recommend their own carrier, which seems like something I can't come back from.

If that's the case, be sure to select a carrier/service without tracking. Then tell them you've sent It and they should receive It soon.

As such, they'll have no way to locate Its whereabouts In transit.

Okay, I guess this method would be better because after it never arrives and there isn't anything I can do after that point.

And there Isn't anything Lenovo can do to locate the package, which Is the point of using this method. As a result, you've fully complied with their request to fulfill the requirements of your claim.

That's provided they do not nominate a carrier at any point In time.
