Return the item and get a refund. Then next time do better research on the item you are planning to SE

[mothered]

Yes, it was like original one. It wasn’t even cardboard but carton letter, so I used a knife to remove glue from one side, I opened and use a hot glue to close it. It looked better then before, because corners were a bit damaged by dhl.

There would have been a slight Inconsistency with the packaging, that triggered the need to check Its contents.

Shall I go with another same SE or should I buy something, don’t sending back and wait a while? Can you advise?

Please elaborate precisely what you have In mind.

I have failed so I suspect that I could received a red flag on my account. Can I continue with another sealed box method? This time I will prepare with stickers, original box and dummy phone. Should work. How do you think?

It's not good practice to use the same method In succession.

Nonetheless, to draw attention away from the SE, It's best to make at least one legit purchase and wait a few weeks prior to using the sealed box method again.

so @eljot88 have you tried sealed box again with better preparation?

so @eljot88 have you tried sealed box again with better preparation?

Nope. In my opinion that method is dead, especially with apple products. I have focused on EB method and i work with one refunder.

@mothered If I'm not mistaken, I believe @eljot88 is trying to say he resealed the SHIPPING packaging, not the Item packaging. Correct me if I am wrong ofcourse. But if that is the case, ofcourse it wouldn't work. The whole point of the sealed box method to give them back an exactly the same product, in it's sealed BOX, to put back on the shelf. All you did (If ive understood) is just resealed the envelope it came in.
Doh haha

Precisely.

That's exactly my point with the sealed box method.
