Buying shrink wrap and returning items - plop442 - 07-12-2022

Would it be possible/good idea to buy shrink wrap and wrap up the box after taking the item and returning the box? Do you think this would be a good method? I was thinking of buying something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003493264083.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4fda5f3c7TvaIt&algo_pvid=4fce25de-2803-453c-a08c-b13072f65fa1&algo_exp_id=4fce25de-2803-453c-a08c-b13072f65fa1-1&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000026065023778%22%7D&pdp_npi=2%40dis%21GBP%21%211.55%21%21%21%21%21%402100bb4a16576057789882508ed4e3%2112000026065023778%21sea

Only problem is, not everything uses shrink wrap, so will need to look for items that have it; will ideally look at unboxing videos on youtube to see the packaging of certain products. If anyone knows any products that do use it, put it down below.

Predominantly If the Item Is packaged with clear film by the manufacturer.

Companies who're aware of their product's packaging, will know It wasn't returned In Its original condition, hence they may Inspect Its contents.

I spent a little time inside the physical store of a larger retailer trying to find items that fit the bill for this method and the following items do:

  • Google Nest hub Max (I assume any variation would be fine)
  • Blink Outdoor Cameras
  • Bang and Olufsen Beosound A1 2nd Generation Speaker

That was as far as I got on that particular day.
