Advice about a Razer RMA (Razer Blade 2019)

Hey, Razer community! Sorry, first time poster just wanting some advice. I have an RMA with Razer for a bulging battery. After looking at the location it would be sent to, the place has only 1-star reviews and all 20-40 recent comments say their razer products have been lost or came back in a worst state than they were sent in. The way I see it, I have two options. 1) Send it to the RMA place and hope it doesn't go missing (I live in England). 2) Remove the battery and purchase a secondhand or other battery. I spent about 3k on this laptop and I'm heartbroken it only lasted this long, It was a perfect laptop prior to this. Does anyone have any advice for what I should do or any other options? Any help would be massively helpful <3 Thanks!
