I purchased a new yamaha RX-V6A av receiver from electric shop and it came with a set of free yamaha earbuds
I just received an email from DPD saying its due to be delivered today and i also received a call from the retailer saying its due to be delivered today and that the box to the receiver will most likely be open as they put the earbuds inside the box
Would you accept this as to me it should all be sealed and unopened. Why can't the brand new earbuds and brand new receiver come unopened and sealed
Or am I just being picky?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52033555","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"efc_4ever"},"datePublished":"2024-01-21T10:24:48.000Z","text":"This is how it looked once opened
Invoice was inside the box with the box of earbuds
Once i removed that cover the receiver looked like this with no protective cover peel thing over the front part of the receiver on the display area part

Ignore the view of just overthinking it.
It all comes down to whether you are happy with it "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52027795","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bozo007"},"datePublished":"2024-01-20T12:34:03.000Z","text":"It is not an unreasonable request. However, are they shipping the receiver in another box? If yes, then the buds can be in that external box as well but if they are shipping the receiver in its original manufacturer box without any additional packaging, then the only way to ship both is to open the receiver box and put the buds inside. That being said, most of these things are tightly packed so I am not sure where there would be space for the buds.
I suggest you open the parcel in front of the DPD driver and check everything with your phone camera on. The driver is going to grumble though."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52027923","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"efc_4ever"},"datePublished":"2024-01-20T12:50:44.000Z","text":"Just arrived.. It had another postage label on of another person's address so maybe been sent out previously and opened up.. My thought was maybe they need to put the earbuds somewhere and it makes sense to open the box to put them inside the receiver box
Anyway it all looks good and in good condition so no complaints"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52027797","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SaturdayGigs"},"datePublished":"2024-01-20T12:34:16.000Z","text":"Picky imo "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52043364","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"HonourableGentleman"},"datePublished":"2024-01-22T16:45:11.000Z","text":"I think you were all too harsh on the OP - I would have felt the same!"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52027780","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2024-01-20T12:32:18.000Z","text":"Unless you bought it for resale then I think you are being picky & jumping the gun because you haven't had it delivered yet.
If there is no marks at all & it hasn't been used what difference does it make?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52033073","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"PS5"},"datePublished":"2024-01-21T08:58:23.000Z","text":"I wouldn't be happy. There is a reason that amazon, curry's, richer sounds etc sell items as open box.
Evidently used the phones as an excuse for the open box. You should be able to tell if the unit has been unwrapped before though.."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52033296","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Azwipe"},"datePublished":"2024-01-21T09:39:10.000Z","text":"Wouldn't be happy with a previous customers address on the box.

It makes sense to me that they'd open the box to put the earphones in, rather than spend an extra few quid on shipping an extra box etc.
Doesn't look to me like it's been out of the box."}],"commentCount":21,"interactionStatistic":11,"articleSection":"Retailer Offers and Issues"}
