To be safe you should ask a friend or family member to use their account. If this is not possible then in my opinion its still fine and you will be safe to make the purchase on your account. If Amazon catches you, it will not be due to the purchase you made, but rather the poor re-seal attempt.

Thanks for the reply!

I'll make the purchases through another account.

With regards to the idea of using heat-shrink wrap, do you think that the inconsistency between the original packaging (no shrink wrap) and the shrink-wrapped reseal would be caught by the warehouse employee, or simply taken as an original?

They process hundreds of returns each day, you should be fine. I highly doubt they would be able to tell the difference. Good luck!
