Yes the box is closed from all sides. There are 2 handles through which you can not see what is in the box.

Taking all the above Into account and the fact that It contains a factory seal/tape, the sealed box method Is well-suited.

I had to remove the d from the word because of spam suspicion

You can add a period (full stop) or spacing before the letter.

A quick update on my SE.

The package was opened and I was contacted by Amazon that they do not give refunds on this.

I think now I should stubbornly claim that I have never opened the package and sent directly back, right?

Correct.

Tell them you've returned what they originally sent you.

After a long back and forth with Amazon I finally got my money back.

I think I was too friendly at the beginning and have not complained enough .
The first three times I wrote to support, I was told to wait 5 - 7 days.

When I wrote to the support the fourth time and they told me again to wait, I lost my patience and asked for my money back immediately.
All of a sudden I didn't have to wait anymore and the refund was processed.

Even though I did not believe in the meantime, because I also got the mail that my package was opened and I do not get a refund.

I have tried it further until it worked

Congrats! I guess you sticked to the story that the package you sent back was in the shape you got, right?

Yes, you just have to be careful not to contradict yourself

It seems like the sealed-box method always has a good chance to success. Even if the company/carriers check's the box (like in your case), you can always says you've returned what you've got. Maybe that's why it is @motherred's favourite

It's hilarious how many people give up, when really they're 1 rep, or 1 further complaint away from getting their refund.
Nothing beats finally receiving your refund, especially after a long wait. It's almost euphoric.
Congratulations.

Good work.

This clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of persevering and remaining adamant throughout the claims process.
