Prove package contents to win 'empty box' chargebacks

The problem, as people describe it

E-commerce merchants are losing significant revenue to 'empty box' chargebacks, where customers falsely claim packages arrived without contents. Despite providing extensive shipping proof, banks side with the buyer because merchants cannot prove what was inside the sealed box. This forces merchants to absorb losses on legitimate sales.
