I might have to pivot from Amazon, turns out the iphones 14's are sold by 3rd party sellers and not amazon directly. Do you guys have any experience with this? Does this make the SE much more difficult because the merchant is a much smaller company?

In the event that I have to pivot, do you guys have any recommendations? There's Bestbuy.ca (reluctant to hit this since I just successfully DNA'd airpods from them), there's also Costco.ca which I have no experience with, or directly from apple but if im trying to use the phone in CA I wouldnt want it bricked.

I would also be open to purchasing in person with bestbuy.ca and doing sealed box method for the return. Would just need insight on the right seals and dummy replacement.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!!

maybe legit return it and research another company, I am sure there is something

I might pursue the SE with bestbuy and purchase in-person with cash and return using sealed box. I’d even go as far as putting a dummy device in there as well.

Do you have experience with the seals and packaging? Any insight? Once I gather any materials suggested I’d pursue the SE and give updates.

this would be sick

what items for your opinion would be good for making WIR with iphone?

A like-for-like product.

Wrong item received method. Just look a round in the forum for how it works and we will discuss any doubt about it

i dont really get this method because like do you just go and say i got a banana instead of an ipohone? and in that case they just refund u without sending the item back?

You need to read more about the method itself. The idea is that you buy another item from the same warehouse with another account on another name and address, when you receive the iphone then, you say that you received indeed the other item that cost less, and then work from there. I didn't explain it very well, but have a look on the forum, there are tons of post about it

But every item should be sent from amazon warehouse for a refund, correct? Or does this one specifically has to be from a 3rd party warehouse?
