Things must have changed lately. I returned a set of DVDs and forgot to include the cover and got dinged for over half the cost of the item almost as soon as it was received by the warehouse. I guess I got lucky since they could have charged me for the whole price. But now a guy is sending dirt and he gets full credit. Wow!

- zaroth 7y agoA missing DVD cover discovered by a weight discrepancy? Who’s to say it was returned in the original envelope? Perhaps more likely the extremely light items weight is hidden in the variance of the return packaging weight and so those packages have to be opened?
- AnssiH 7y agoA missing cover sounds like it would be visible without opening the product packaging (which would be the cover itself, no?), i.e. they can easily notice the omission by comparing the returned item against a reference image. In the OP case the product packaging was filled with dirt, which is not as easily discoverable without opening product packaging.
- zaroth 7y agoAh, they open the shipping envelope. They don’t open the product box itself. Of course.
