I'm sure you've heard of customers returning old items in the box of a newer item to get free upgrades?

Well forget about that, I just received an already opened and empty box for an M.2 SSD I ordered.

They don't even check if the item is in the box for returns, and illegally resell it as a new item (even a genuine customer return isn't meant to be sold as new).

I asked for a replacement and will make sure to record opening it, if I get the same problem I will try taking action for more compo.

The main issue is that the SSD I ordered is the one that Sony also recommend for the PS5 as the price was reduced quite a lot, except I got scammed.

And yes it was a stocked and sold by Amazon Prime item, not a third party seller.

I'm disenchanted with Amazon too. Their selection is much poorer than it was a year ago, their prices are much higher, and there are almost no real sales. They've gone way downhill since Covid started. It's as though now they've driven all the local stores out of business, they think they don't need to try anymore.

The major problem is like this case, theres loads of items that say fullfilled by Amazon prime, but you still end up getting swindled with sketchy resales.
