FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK
I thought no factory seals was a good thing.

The purpose of factory seals Is to obviously demonstrate whether or not the box has been tampered with. And If there are no signs of Inconsistencies, It's less likely to be opened and checked.

Clear tape on the other hand, serves no purpose - anyone can open and re-tape It, hence returns are checked a lot more often than not.

Do you think the new TBA method would work? I might give that a shot.

In my view, Its success Is equally divided at 50/50.

If not maybe I'll just try to SE a laptop.
Disposed of the faulty Item would be easy for that right?

As said In my previous post, It can be an arduous process.

"It arrived and the battery was bloated so I threw it out of my safety"

Basically any reason that warrants Its disposal - started smoking, caught fire, etc.

Also do we know how those people selling refunds are pulling stuff like "up to 15k amazon order"?

To avoid saturation, I won't discuss the methodology used.

By arduous process do you mean I will just have to have a lot of chat/calls with a CS rep or am I going to need to still FTID it somehow?
I don't mind chatting them up for a few weeks.
