Hi mate
I’m working for amazon and I can tell you something from the inside. Any question feel free to ask. Usually items which are marked on their website as Serial Registered need serial number during return process. Before they shop parcel with item let say S9 phone they do imei scan before dispatch. During return prOcess we scan barcode of item and then serial. If serial is wrong we sideline item for problem solve which depends how fucked up he is could sent resolution ticket that you sent wrong item (wrong serial). After that they decide if issue refund for u or not

dude what part of amazon do you work it would make it so much easier to just call you and get a refund if you work in the refund area and handle calls

I highly doubt he'd put his position at risk by taking requests and refunding members of this board.

If I'm correct, most Android phones have the ability to have their IMEI changed through programs you can access with root. Once you change the IMEI, you can have the phone activated and it should work properly as if it wasn't an SE'd product.

Why would you refund a smartphone. It always gets blacklisted.

Hello, I will try a refund of a galaxy S9 +

I would like to know if it works, does Amazon investigate the IMEI number or others to track me and see that I lied?

Is it risky to keep the phone if the refund is ok?

From personal experience, I ordered PSU, Speaker, printer from amazon, just to return a broken one from ebay. But they said that it's not the correct once and the number's don't match up. I was surprised for the motherboard as the S/N was removed by me, but they somehow knew and made me return the original one.

In the past, I have refunded numerous products to Amazon without any blacklisting or repercussions. My suggestion would be to sell the item in question and use the funds to purchase the desired product instead.

This thread Is almost 5 years old.

Given It's still active and used for Informative purposes, I'll keep It open. That aside, Amazon In the UK has been blacklisting IMEIs for around 8 months. I'm not certain If It's still the case at the time of this post.

I tried it a computer part, and they sent me a warning email saying to send the original item.

But tell me a thing, does the Amz Invoice mention the SN of that computer part?
Otherwise how can they prove the original SN and the new one of the other item you returned?
