Do you know if this is true of in store sealed box returns? They may check in the back at some point but do they check at the counter before they process the refund ?

Yes, the same applies In-store with certain companies.

For Instance, Apple checks sealed box returns at the customer service counter there and then.

I expect this kind of thing from Apple but what about 3rd party retailers ? I am going to do few legitimate test returns to see how certain shops handle sealed returns at the counter, right now I am most concerned with the like of Argos and John Lewis

Most big retailers will check, very common scam where I live and almost everything is checked for tampering

Impossible to speak for each and every third-party retailer.

Argos checks In-store  sealed box returns.

They break the factory seals there and then before handing the money back ?

They break the seals, check the contents and If everything Is fine, a refund Is processed.

I tried yesterday at Target and they checked and opened the seals on an Apple Watch Series 7 watch. For this SE I swapped it with a older Series 4. Refund was successful. Depends on the worker that is there that is there that day.
