dont go on ebay, and dont lookup any tech item of choice, and dont make sure its a relatively recent and you cant see a serial number. dont copy that serial number into the warranty and replacements part of the companys website to check if its in warranty. dont ask for a replacement unit and dont ask them for other options when they ask you to send the faulty unit back. dont keep or sell the product when it arrives. stealing from large corporations is never okay.

Assuming we didn't do this, but won't the large company check the address belongs to the actual person before not sending us the replacement because we didn't do it anyway? Also won't they insist for the faulty unit, what other options will they accept? Asking for writing a book on hypothetical scenarios

I've not done it myself but I know it works

"won’t they insist for the faulty unit, what other options will they accept?"

Every business I've dealt with always wants the faulty unit back before sending a replacement.
