If you say that you've received an earlier model PS, It will give them reason to check the return. The objective Is to not provide any reason whatsoever to open the box when received. Saying that you simply made an error when ordering the Item, and then placing your (old) PS3 In the box that's "perfectly sealed as per the manufacturer's state", has a good chance of success- namely due to not having the need to check It.

I second this, used to do wrong item by switching old and new models, now they check returns. It's better not to say anything.

Precisely, thanks for providing your experience.

If you give them reason to check and they have the availability of manpower/staff, they will check the return.

mothered's method personally scares me in that if the PS4 is sent to another person and they complain, it may be tracked back to you.

There are a number of ways to handle this.

Who's to say they didn't switch It, thereby attempting to SE Amazon themselves?

Ah, that's true. I'll keep that in mind as a method. If the opportunity presents itself, I'll give it a try sounds like a good method to get a product out of warranty fixed. Any advice taking off the stickers well?

At work, we have low-temp heat guns specifically suited to the job, however I use the hand dryer In the rest room/toilet. I find It works a lot better, with less room for error.

Do note that there's no rush whatsoever and you have "all day" to peel the stickers, so use the time wisely and be very gentle throughout the entire process.
