Return old GPU to seller? - Rayne72x - 07-14-2022
What is the best method of an SE GPU ?
I have bought a new GPU from Amazon which is almost identical in appearance to my old one, they're both the same company and same line up. One is a 3080 TI Vision OC and the other is a 3070 Vision OC. The 3080 is slightly bigger.
The new one hasn't arrived yet.
I'm thinking of returning my 3070 in place of the 3080 Ti.
I have the original box for the 3070
My amazon account has had a few returns and is 10 years old. I calculated my return rate and its like 22.5% (Unsure if this matters), it is however a mostly legit account, I've never specifically tried to do them out of money, I've just always bought more of one item to see which one is best and then return the ones that aren't. I done this with an ipad around xmas time from the warehouse and it was fine. I've never had any emails relating to the amount of my returns or warnings. I was however recently rude to staff regarding a return and called them horrible names and they did warn then that doing so could result in a ban to which I told them to do it and they didn't. I have apologized today actually regarding that. The item came damaged and I was annoyed I had to return it out of my own pocket.
What is the best method here?
Would you select wrong item received ? They don't have the 3070 in stock but have the 3070 Ti, due to the boxes being so similar i'm unsure someone would notice?
It also requires a OTP if thats relevant.
Thank you

Also, It's their policy to dispose of wrong Item returns, so say goodbye to your RTX 3070.

So do you think this scheme will likely fail ?

Wrong item received worked well for me recently with Amazon on a new GPU

What would they do if i say wrong item sent ?Products on Amazon Warehouse Deals go through a meticulous "20-point Inspection" before being sold, and their condition Is also graded and recorded - just to make sure the buyer gets what he's paid for.
As such, they will use that In their defence when claiming a wrong Item was received.

They'll want the wrong item back and then refund you

What product did you send back and get?
Also did you phone their CS or use their live chat?

Initially I contacted them on live chat and then made several follow up calls over the period between it being reported and refund.
I’ll PM you ref the items.
