Interesting, thanks. Did they send you a full replacement desk (motor included), or just the wooden plank?

It seems you just got lucky as they didn't request any pictures and the material to be sent back

Have a pretty easy method I figured I’d share.

Order something on Amazon that is sold by a 3rd party seller but shipped via Amazon.
I ordered a sit/standing height adjustable desk.

Once you get the package go on Amazon and contact the seller (make sure the seller is the manufacturer of the item) and tell them that all the pieces you received don’t have holes drilled for you to assemble.

They’ll ask you what pieces don’t have holes, they’ll likely send you a photo out of the user manual so you can tell them all the parts don’t have holes.

If they ask for photos just take a quick pic of one piece and photoshop over the holes, very easy cut and paste. Mine didn’t ask for photos though.

Once you receive those replacement parts, you can return the package to Amazon for a full refund, super easy.

I discovered something similar a while back accidentally when I ordered a gaming desk on amazon. Price was $400 CAD. I realized that 2 of the holes in the desk were a bit too big for the screws so I sent them photos of the holes, didn't even need to put the screws next to it for reference, they just refunded me my money back. Did it a few more times using different accounts and just sold the desks.

Yeah I just said all the parts were missing holes etc lol.

Maybe, I did send a photo of my photoshopped holes, but they didn't ask for anything. A manufacturer like this wants to send you replacement parts so that you don't do an Amazon return as they're very costly for the seller, especially a desk thats heavy.

Sick!! That usually only happens if its sold by amazon as well.

Wow thank you! I'm thinking about buying monitor mounts. I might use this same concept.

Should work easily! If I could make a recommendation, get gas powered.

This one is fantastic

Interesting. Amazon third party sellers have always interested me.
It does however feel like it's very luck dependent. Each seller might behave differently so you need to do some studying on what the refunding policies are for them.

Also, chances are you won't be screwing a giant company that gets fined for billions every year but some Dude that makes a living by importing and reselling.

...furthermore, I wonder how things work if an item is sold by a third party but shipped by Amazon.

Yeah, I would only recommend hitting bigger companies like the manufacture of the desk, like I mentioned.

But this method was an item, sold by a third-party but shipped by Amazon

will my account get flagged if I use this method too often?
