    This type of crime seem to be very common. I just ordered an iPad and opted to collect from Apple Store precisely because I was concerned it might be hijacked. 
    Yes the crimes where it is another product which is similar weight has been swapped.
    The box received would feel very light (noticeable) if there was nothing inside.

    Agreed, although package weight discrepencies would only be evident if the swapping had happened at the warehouse/depot I think?
