A Reddit user identified as u/BitProfessional3792 reported ordering an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor and an MSI MAG X870E Carbon motherboard from Amazon, both listed as sold and shipped directly by the platform. Upon receiving the first package, the customer discovered that the box, though sealed, contained an Intel Core i3 3000-series processor instead of the advertised AMD chip. Photographs shared by the user showed the box's base had been cut open and resealed, suggesting prior tampering. The customer initiated a return and, on the same day, received a replacement shipment of the same processor model. However, the second package also contained an Intel Core i3 chip, with similar signs of box alteration. The user noted that both boxes bore identical license plate (LPN) stickers, typically used by Amazon to track returned inventory, indicating the items may have been previously returned and reprocessed. Amazon is currently processing a refund for the returned items. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in third-party fulfillment processes, particularly concerning high-value electronics sold through major retailers.
