Can I still purchase through Amazon? Yes, our products remain available on the platform.
Will I receive the correct item from Amazon? In most cases, yes. However, there is a small but significant risk of receiving units with stolen or swapped components, as documented in our ongoing “Fraud Files”.
Does Amazon handle the warehousing and shipping? Yes, Amazon is entirely responsible for the warehousing, dispatch, and delivery of your order. They are also responsible for collecting returns and ensuring the correct, untampered item reaches the next customer.
Will I receive a brand-new unit from Amazon? Generally, yes. However, there is an exception where customers may inadvertently receive a unit that was previously returned by another buyer.
Does Amazon resell items that have been returned? Yes, it is common practice for Amazon to restock and resell customer-returned goods.
Who is responsible for these discrepancies? We ship 100% brand-new, factory-sealed inventory to Amazon. Amazon technicians then scan and verify each unit before adding it to their stock. Any issues that occur during the fulfillment process—including the theft or substitution cases we have highlighted—are the direct responsibility of Amazon.
Ever wondered why a brand-new mini PC arrives with missing RAM or fails to turn on? Most of these ‘out-of-the-box’ failures reported on marketplaces are actually the result of inventory tampering and logistics mismanagement. Because of the high value of our components—like our premium NVMe storage and high-speed RAM - scammers often exploit the return system. This category tracks our findings on ‘Used-as-New’ mix-ups and ‘Item-Switching’ frauds. We explain the difference between a fulfillment error and our rigorous internal manufacturing standards, helping you make an informed choice on where to buy your next build.
