so DDIP for e.g. i dont know what that is.

Meaning "Double Dip".

In simple terms, a normal SE Involves getting a refund/replacement "once". As Its name Implies, "double dipping" Is repeating the process to get a refund/replacement "twice".

so if you were in my shoes (wanting two pairs of airpods) what way would you go about it?

Are you planning to SE both AirPods on the same consignment?
