Intelligence agencies put their bugs within the hardware of electronic devices you order online.
If you believe being the target of an intelligence agency never order anything online. They will put the bug inside, especially if it is an electronic device such as a phone/laptop/TV/coffee machine.
Best solution is to go buy it from a random store and have a good home security system.
Also weigh your electronic devices laptop/phone to check if the weight differs from its original weight, it should not deviate.

What kind of errors are acceptable here? Or maybe better, how accurate are the measurements given from the manufacturer?
I have a iPhone 12 Mini for example, Apple says (https://support.apple.com/en-us/111877) it should weigh 135 grams. Measuring with a scale of 0.01g precision (which is also calibrated right before) I get 133.5g, so it's ~1.5g off.
Measuring a 50g weight gives me exactly 50g, so the scale is correct, so either the weight of my phone is off, or Apple doesn't give exact weight.
