Smartphone from amazon - BottleCap - 05-04-2021
Hey guys. I have bought a 1000$ phone from amazon and planning on returning it by using the sealed box method. Its supposed to be delivered today. Is there anything i should look out for? I am just planning on removing the seal carefully and put random crap in to match the weight. If this is not found is it an instant refund?

The way you've explained It, Is precisely how the sealed box method works.
The objective Is to not show signs of tampering and when they receive your return, they'll assume It's the real deal and place It back Into stock. A refund will be Issued thereafter.

Another buyer will purchase your return at some point In the future, but given the Item was picked, packed, dispatched, returned and purchased, It's very difficult to relate the Issue back to you. Moreover, who's to say the buyer Isn't doing what you did- SE with the same method? As such, you're In the clear.

If you a refund on smartphone using DNA, will using the "missing" iphone triggers anything or notify apple or amazon and make you in trouble?

I'm not suggesting It will happen, but rather outlining the possibility In answer to your question.
