So my customer wanted a full refund for the box not being in pristine condition.
Eventually I agreed to a refund and the weight is about 200 grams more than the
advertised weight of the item, tantive 4, which is supposed to weigh 2.4 kg.
Mine weighs 2.6 kg. Wondering if they took out the minifigs and added counterweights
or something? Seals look fine to me.

Was it heavier than what you sent?

A sealed Tantive 4 (2019) weighs 2.52kg, how did you arrive at 2.4kg? Maybe your
scale is not the accurate enough?
