Bought a cellphone last week on Amazon. Another online retailer had the phone for about $60 less with free gifts like headphones/extra charger/selfie stick etc. I went ahead and bought that phone with the intention of returning the phone from Amazon.

Anyway, I have the phone from Amazon all set up the way I want and I'm wondering if I could just return the new phone I just got that's unopened. Same exact phone. The IMEI is different of course, but I don't know if Amazon keeps track of that #?

any ideas? Just trying to save hassle of setting up the new phone, plus Amazon gets a new, unopened device.

You sound trashy. Just keep both phones and make one your drug dealing phone

People do this kind of shite intentionally all the time. Example, they'll buy an expensive gps/golf watch and then return a random shite watch in the package. Amazon charges it back to the seller so it's a pretty loose process unfortunately (for the seller/supplier).

Personally, I wouldn't do it. Who knows if those product numbers are tied to some sort of warranty program. I'm also not lazy.

I bought head light bulbs and one didn't work. I requested a return label and only sent 1 light back. I got a full refund and they sent me another set of lights that worked. It seems that they don't check what you return to them, at least not in my situation.

Dude, since when do you have a cell phone?

I buy 'em all the time now, you know?

You prepay for it, and then you buy it and you throw it away. There's a name for it.

A burner?

A burner!

That's a burner.

Dude, this is what drug dealers buy.

Oh, really?

This is a very specific sect of lower class, okay? This is like, this is, like, felon class.

Felon class, huh?

How about return unused phone to place you actually got it?

not worth the hassle. You'll have to worry until you get confirmation.

I'd email them and ask which they prefer to receive back. I suspect they want the one they sold back.

Trashy, but not as trashy as the guy who returned old, rusted electrical boxes to Home Depot yesterday.
