How do you mean a MacBook is too big to substitute with dry ice?

No, meaning the Item Itself Is too big to box.

Not that It can't be done, but a tear & tape on a package that's the size of a MacBook, will most likely be Instantly noticed by the carrier when picked up and scanned. As such, a damage report will be raised and recorded at their depot prior to delivery.

I haven't had any issue before with tearing off old tape and retaping. I would imagine the same for cutting the tape and retaping with a different tape. Perhaps I've been lucky.
I suppose a concern would be that the pictures they take of the package during transit would be given to the company.
