It was a pretty nice and genuine interaction si I’ll try to find the same girl when I return the box in a few days!
I'd like to read your experience In a few days time.
Since I paid them by credit card, I have the following risks:
- he said that they will be checking inside the box after the phone is returned and it won’t just be put back on stock to be sold
- he also said that the refund will take a few days to process and to get into my bank account, meaning that if they check the box and find anything wrong they can just cancel the refund
What do you guys recommend I do in this case? Give up the SE and try again using fake name and pay by cash?
Thanks
