i got mine but it has outer packaging and i dont want to open it as its a gift for Christmas so i wonder if they have never been opened and are fine inside or if i should open them to check if i need to send them back
If its a warehouse deal - Id definitely open it check - unless the shrink wrap is intact - then you got really lucky.
Apple shrink wrap is perfectly smooth - any wrinkles and it might have been resealed.
Check out how close the fakes are to the originals

How do you mean really lucky? Do you think that Amazon are selling lots of fakes from warehouse? That’s just a question not any kind of judgment on what you are saying.
I got a pair which came from a dirty box with no shrink wrap. The case inside was spotless and wrapped and the coiling of the lightning cable was a good indicator it was all as new.
I saw the magnet test of how to check if genuine and mine seem to be. I bought a pair from apple last Xmas as a present and this was the case also.

All in all I like them, I’ve never liked plastic insert buds but these aren’t too uncomfortable, sound quality is very good and calls are good.0 -

"Purchase Date not Validated
Please update your product purchase date by following the link
but when I click and try to update the date I got it, it keeps telling me "We’re sorry, but we are unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again later."
Anyone else have this issue ?
Okay - After spending close to 30 minutes with Apple Support, providing them with proof of purchase etc. The person got it registered, Now showing 3 months phone support and 1 year Repair and service coverage on their site
Albeit, it is is registered like I bought it last Thursday, rather than Saturday from Amazon - But no complaints.
Also note that on my box it shows it was manufactured on the 08/20200 -

How did you find out an Amazon employee took your “free vouchers” out? That’s extraordinary that an employee did that and that they told you.
It was a for a christmas present and wasn't time to return it- It was brand new (not warehouse) there was supposed to be a starter pack of coffee capsules and a voucher to buy more in the box - the amazon box was sealed (so not postmen) but inside the product box was opened and vouchers and pods were missing.
Amazon gave me 10 pounds credit instead but that didnt cover the loss and cheapened the present. Coffee machine was never used.
and i know was recently thrown out.
Im not saying Amazon are not good for returns - they are too good - and take anything back. Try giving earphones back to argos that are working and see what they say.
Question was should the poster open a box from a warehouse deal before gifting it - and yes - i think they should. At least to make sure there is no earwax on it :O !“Roll it back”

No, your point was, which I asked about before judging was why someone would’ve “lucky” in your own words if they were not to receive an authentic item through warehouse, which now seems clear. You’ve absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You’ve also no idea where your vouchers went. And you’ve also said that Amazon have honoured all your returns.
Imagine dealing with this as a customer.0 -

Wouldn't bet on it.
About a year ago, I bought a brand new Canon flashgun from Amazon direct.
I stress not warehouse, and not third party seller, but brand new from Amazon direct.
like this one:
There were no signs of tampering with the box, that I noticed, but inside was a brand new Yongnuo flash, like this one.
Obviously Amazon immediately sent me a brand new replacement, when I told them but I guess some dude, had done a swap and one way or another, Amazon had sent me a return of some sort.
:mad:
The brand name in big letters on the front should be kinda noticeable, but clearly not.0 -

I just don't trust Amazon for Airpods Pro - too many opportunities for cheating in their supply and delivery chain. Littlewoods have them for €229. They seem like the genuine article...
Just reviving this. Littlewoods are still selling the AirPods Pro for €229.00. Just bought a pair.
https://www.littlewoodsireland.ie/apple-airpods-pro-earphonesnbsp--active-noise-cancelling/1600405786.prd?_requestid=129044&Ntt=airpods
Currently €279 with Apple, but granted that they may be a bit cheaper on Amazon.co.uk. @ £1950 -

Charging case included?
Read the reviews and one guy pointed out no charge case provided ? That can’t be right?
