Hey guys,

Long time ago since the last time i  have posted here. Today I have a dilemma :
I have bought a Sony camera Sony A7 during auctions for a really cheap price. The camera is close to be  totally new  (it looks like MINT, just the packaging is clearly in bad conditions). 
BUT what I didn't know when i bought it: it's a japanese version and PB is > we can't change language on this version...! So I have ordered and just received the same model from AMZ. 
My idea was to switch both models, send back the JPN one and keep the Western version.

My question is, should I say to the operator :
1. "there is a problem with the camera, i can't put it in ENG"  or another random excuse
2. "Finally,  I just don't like it" 
3. "it was a mistake"  faking than I haven't OPENED the camera packaging ... and just send it back (it was easy to open the packaging without destructing the sticker. + i haven't touch anything else like the battery)"

+ Should I reformat the JPNese one ?

Thx in advance for your answers guyz

Do note that Amazon Is very meticulous with checking returns, Inclusive of sealed boxes.

Didn't you said ?it was one of your FAV Method mothered ?They will unsealed a packaging just to verify it ?

Yes but it's like for a wrong item method., right ?..
> If they look for the camera it looks like similar as the new one they can't tell wich one is just popping out of the box... There are both new, just one is in JAP, it's not a FAKE chinese shitty stuff
> And to "power on" it, you have to use the battery, than it's still protected with a clear film... So if you open the package it looks like I can't have power in it...

So wich one will you chose @mothered between these strat?

It Is my favorite method, but you need to understand that companies Inevitably tighten their return policies, of which Amazon has done so In the last couple of months or so.

As SE'ers, we need to adjust to changes - It's a given.

They  will unsealed a packaging just to verify it ?

Correct.

Yes but it's like for a wrong item method., right ?..

No.

The wrong Item Is a stock Item of theirs.

So wich one will you chose  @mothered between these strat?

Are you referring to a choice between the sealed box and wrong Item received method?

Check if there is any SN outside the camera and if so consider to find a way to switch them, in this way it may work. If the SN are the same Amazon shouldn’t give you any trouble

Not exactly...
➡️Between the "sealed method" = I just explain nothing about the reason why I return it. I have not open it, I juste don't want it anymore. Send it back and if they spot the difference. Idk nothring about it.

➡️Or I tell them, there is a problem with the product. I can't find how adjust language,... maybe there is a problem.... it pissed me of, I send it back.

Less you give details, better it is right?


FYI AMaZon has "lost" my regulars & expensives orders 2 times during the delivery this week.
" Your order arrived in 2 steps" 1 hour after: your order has been lost.. Sorry for that 😅
A C level of AMZN call me to apologizes about these situations..
I think this could be good for me right?

Instant fail.

As said, Amazon has significantly tightened their return policy and along with Apple, they're checking sealed box returns. If the correct product hasn't been returned, they'll decline your refund. Moreover, It's their policy to dispose of the wrong Item you've sent back.

Or I tell them, there is a problem with the product. I can't find how adjust language,... maybe there is a problem.... it pissed me of, I send it back. 

Bad move.

When reporting a problem, It'll give them every reason to thoroughly check the return.

Less you give details, better it is right?

Haven't you given an array of details In the above quote?

Yeah I was talking in general to the target you try to SE

Ok so i take more risk by trying an exchange (even if i send an original product) than trying a classical Seing....

So... What methods could wOrk? I can't do a DNA, I can't try the Wrong Item error...
Maybe Item missing? Like I said my last 2 orders has been stolen during the delivery time... And Amazon call me for apologize about it, so... looks pretty realistic right?
Anothzr method maybe?

Last time it really happens it was during Christmas, ordering a lence and i had rock inside..

Maybe Item missing? 

What's the exact weight of the camera Itself?
