PR obviously doesn't make sense. But what's the harm in returning the empty box? Just the lower resell value?

I'd found that as well, why do airpods/apple watches have a higher success rate than CPUs/other EB items? Is it just the lower weight?

The GPU is not shrink-wrapped in plastic if that's what you mean. The only type of seals I can see are on the outer box and the adhesive on the anti-static bag within the box which holds the GPU.
