What about ebay private shops or sellers?
Different items then apple, maybe less known to be frauded with?
What about lower valued items from amazon, thats not worth opening and checking? Like example 10x items thats worth 100e

To sum It up, Amazon and Apple check sealed box returns, Irrespective of value.

At the time of this post, unless there's Inconsistencies/signs of tampering with the box, other stores/retailers predominantly do not open returns.
