How so?

The reasons above well and truly justify the return. Over a span of 30+ years, I've used the sealed box method both In-store and online, on hundreds of occasions - all without fail.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I hear ya about the reasons. So let's assume I'm a customer returning the item because I got one as a gift and this one is unnecessary.

Obviously if you know what's in the (Amazon) box, you can return it straight away.

But for me it's more likely I'd open the Amazon box just to check what arrived. Unless I'm not expecting anything else, it's sometimes difficult to know what item is in the Amazon box. Also maybe to check that mail was delivered correctly, out of curiosity etc.

You know what I mean?

So I'm just wondering if it's equally easy to explain away the opened/unsealed Amazon box as go through the trouble of resealing the Amazon box.

Of course I think it's undebatable that a resealed Amazon box makes the sealed method more effective in the long run. And yeah for a really expensive item, it might just be worth it to go through all the trouble.

I understand what you're saying.

I've explained everything In my previous post.
