- uxhacker 4y agoDoes anybody know how this happens?
- falcolas 4y agoComingled inventory from 3rd party sellers "Fulfilled by Amazon" and returns that look like they were never opened, and are thus re-sold.
- Eisenstein 4y agoThe returns thing doesn't fly. No one in amazon is taking sealed shipping boxes and putting a new label on them, assuming that the item is inside.
- spzb 4y agoNo, but if you have the facility to apply new shrink wrap so it looks factory sealed, Amazon aren’t going to x-ray it to check what’s inside.
- aix1 4y agoHm, that's an interesting fraud vector. Presumably it applies to pretty much any retailer though? And doesn't apply to items with tamper-proof factory seals that are hard to counterfeit.
- waqf 4y agoYou only have to counterfeit it to the standard of Amazon's returned-items check though, not to the OEM's standard.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoIt's something I've heard of for years.
- mattl 4y agoI imagine it’s all third party sellers not Amazon warehouses.
- amzthrow1 4y agoI once ordered a cheap, light piece of furniture from amazon. Instead, I received a full length mirror weighing about 60+lb, normally sold for about $200. It was clearly in the correct box, but had the wrong shipping label on it. Seems unlikely to be caused by theft. Unfortunately it was a huge hassle to deal with -- I didn't want the item, didn't have the strength to be able to easily move it around myself, and Amazon's return policy simply didn't acknowledge the possibility that I was sent the wrong package! I ended up simply leaving it by the trash.
