Buying from Amazon sometimes really like lucky draw. Bought some SSDs and SD cards, all new and sealed except 1 quite obvious it's used coz the packaging is torn, got scratches on the ssd sticker. Power up use crystal disk info check indeed got data written on it before and powered up 4 times. Immediately returned zzz

that's why shopping platforms with easy returns actually are a double edge sword; as a consumer purchasing, have to really scrutinize closely to see if it was opened before and returned by a previous buyer. That being said i kena before also

actually I did receive used items from shopee as well (phone), sold as new after they resealed the packaging. Immediately returned without question. I dont understand why they will accept returns without penalty for unsealed items.

I received SN850x open before, I just returned it to them no big deal.

AMZ existence in SG is honestly a god send because they do a lot of things right and when there are any actual legit tech deals it's actually there on AMZ, rarely on local stores.

A lot of countries in SEA dont have their own amazon.

Experienced a really strange thing in my entire Amazon history - purchased some hand cream gift sets, and received a completely blank envelope within nothing inside!

Took photos of the sealed envelope and with the label showing 0.07kg weight. Luckily I was given a refund with an option to repurchase the items at same price.

These things are likely happening due to the Amazon warehouse worker strikes.

In the US... They can buy stuff from Walmart etc, use and then return with no questions asked.... 🤷‍♂️

AMDK sells reused: Worker unhappy, never check properly, it will happen get used to it, US got return policy so used stuff it is fine we sometimes get it.

Asian sell reused: Jek ark, intentional hope got customer don't mind, ban the shop as it should not even happen, customer return is their problem why pass to new customer

tbf this bfcm not as good as the prime day sales. seems like their focus will be to encourage prime membership from now on, so maybe wait for next prime day ba. even so, it was $230 during bfcm, then i stack the 15sph + $5 mastercard + 6% off shopback amz gift vouchers to bring it closer to $200, so i would say not too bad either.
