This needs to be established prior to moving forward with the SE.

Under normal atmospheric conditions, It sounds about right.

Which particular method do you have In mind?

Right - I don't think I'll be able to plan out everything until I know for sure how I'm supposed to bring it back to them, but I'd like to plan out as much as I can.

I need feedback on this - it's my rough draft so far.

Sending to them:
Some random magazine in a clear poly bag.
Tape the label on the inside of the polybag, on the back cover.

On the label:
Leave the address untouched
Removing descriptions/ reference #'s/ From (I was thinking of changing the From to the headquarters of whatever magazine I was using...?)/ tracking # (leave the barcode)
Modifying shipping weight from 50+lb to 1lb

All contact will be through Paypal. I am planning on having video of the computer not turning on. Taking pictures of the computer inside the box with the RMA # and the correct label on the outside of the box. Send Paypal the tracking number a week after it arrives just to be safe.

Basically you want them to think it's just random adviertisements of the magazine you chose so that they throw it away? Interesting.
Changing the "from" with the warehouse of the company of the magazine you choose might be a good idea.

In a nutshell, remove every detail except the tracking number/details- as this Is obviously required to reach Its destination.

Carrier-wise, It will be marked as delivered. Company-wise, they have no physical nor administrative record. As such, It all comes down to an error (so It seems) In the warehouse/Inwards goods department.
