Amazon - Should I similar item a 3080ti? - kyyyaaaa - 05-24-2022
Listed for $1200, I'd replace it with my 1080ti (wasn't ordered from Amazon). The weight isn't exactly the same as far as I know, but should be close.
I've done the similar item method with two $600~ orders in the past, one a year ago and one about 6 months ago, but I've spent about $1000 legitly in the past year.
Account is from 2016 and I've only returned about 3 cheaper items since then.
I'm assuming worst case they just have me pay in full for it and I lose my 1080ti & account, but is that likely?
Package will likely be delivered to the apartment's office, but I've gotten $200 items delivered to my door.
Thanks, I'm a noob (:
(Read some more, would it be better to DNA if I don't have to OTP? Or is it better to do wrong item received regardless? I've done wrong item received in the past for my $600~ returns.)

I'm looking for a GPU so I'm also interested in what advice you get for this.

But again interested to see what others suggest.

As of late, Amazon Is very meticulous with checking open box returns. They'll most likely dispose of It, and ask for the correct Item be returned.

Quote:It has a poor success rate. As of late, Amazon Is very meticulous with checking open box returns. They'll most likely dispose of It, and ask for the correct Item be returned.Interesting, from what I've read, Amazon will likely just ban me &/or deny the return?
Quote:Any legit purchases recently?I've purchased about $300 in stuff recently. I also made a legit $220 purchase, but it'll arrive after the fact unfortunately.
Quote: Will the consignment be signed for?I don't know honestly, probably not as Amazon never mentioned that my past returns were signed for. Both of the packages arrived @ the apartment office, while my recent $200 purchase arrived at my door.

I don't believe a signature was ever required for any delivery as it was never mentioned. I guess for now we will just have to wait and see, it will arrive Saturday, I'll update then. I appreciate your feedback a lot. (:

If you can purchase it from abroad (like you're in germany and use amz.fr) you might be able to skip the OTP and hit them with a DNA

Doubt they'd ban you. DNA sounds tricky given the price, however your Amazon account seems to be in good standing. You'd be relying on luck, rather than a full plan. How similar do the items look?

Late update: Delivery driver delivered the item in front of my apartment complex OUTSIDE, no OTP. Did the DNA method, contacted Amazon support and they just had me wait like 3 weeks through multiple communications and gave me a full refund after my 4th contact with them. I got extremely lucky as it was a $1300 refund.
