Hello everyone, I'm looking to buy an iPhone 14 Pro soon, maybe next month, I'd like to get a refund on it if possible, I'm probably buying it at some local retailer, how would you go on about doing it?

You could try wrong item on amazon

As long as It's not Amazon or Apple, use the sealed box method.

Bit of a longshot but do you know if Australian retailers check sealed box online returns? Would stay away from Officeworks

Officeworks Is on par with Harvey Norman - they too, tend to check returns.

Opt for JB Hi-Fi or Big W, preferably the latter.

In what capacity do they usually "check returns"? Do they weigh it, or straight up open the box?

Are these stores still able to be exploited using the sealed box method? I'd like to know as I want to try Offi ceworks and Harvey myself.

Either of the two.

They're not set In stone like Apple and Amazon that check sealed box returns, hence they're exploitable to some degree.

Would this depend on the individual store branch or do you happen to know if it is a company wide policy to check the boxes in that specific way (i.e. open the box and check content/weigh.)

No more free methods from me find someone else to call a liar.
I don't need any help I know how to refund and am not afraid .

Was this because of that guy that was literally returning packages of dirt that weighed the right amount and would sit unopened for months or years in the warehouse?

I find this incredibly humorous

[mothered]

Amazon checks every boxed return now?

For the most part, yes.

Along with Apple, they've been doing It for months.

It probably contributed to Amazon's change of policy, but It's hard to say exactly what triggered It.
