Using an SE phone before refund

curry_king · 08-15-2022, 02:33 AM

Getting an s22u on it's way (amz au)
Got a guy to do FTID return for me. (Only coz amz au and auspost is still lax with it from what I heard)

Just wanted to know if it's okay to use the product and from my pov there's no way Amazon can check if I am using it so it should be fine.

Happy SEing

If you've hooked onto a phone carrier, they can see the device Is active through Its IMEI.

It's best to wait until the claim Is finalized and the funds have cleared Into your account.

That's perfectly fine.

They cannot remotely track that sort of activity.

ok cheers
ill do that
also do you know if amz have OTP in au
i potentially might be out at the time so i was thinking to ask him if he could leave it at behind the pot on a note or something.
I think this might be dangerous but maybe also putting the OTP on the note to validate it.

Have a look at the checkout page, the delivery requirements are usually listed there.

If you provide the driver with delivery Instructions, you'll be liable for the lost shipment.

@mothered
Hi package came today and was left next to my door. Can I do a DNA? However, I'm not sure about doing a PR, never done it and don't feel comfortable doing so.
What do I do at this stage? Do I call and pressure for a refund. Also this is an aged account where I did 1 $330 DNA a month ago.

Another option is just stick to the guy I know to box it/FTID for me by using return label stating "found elsewhere cheaper".

I'd you already did a DNA just a month ago, it's not recommend to hit it again so soon

Hmm ok I'll just stick to the FTID/boxing service I asked for. He's doing it pre good price anyways.
That would be fine right
Also I've used the phone and now I'm afraid they might IMEI blacklist me or something (I have not used cellular, only wifi)

@Nabeshin Is spot on with his advice.
