I've experienced no problems with Amazon warehouse offers. The most recent item was the G9 Neo, which mentioned "minor defects on the bezel." Considering its price—about $700 less than new—it seemed like a smart risk. It was in great shape, and the plastic around the edges was still intact. I’m not sure what they considered a flaw.
Possible minor marks or slight dents on the box are common nowadays. Packaging issues or opening the box can happen easily. While I’m not sure if ordering from Amazon Warehouse differs from regular Amazon purchases, I’ve experienced small problems with some components. Over the past year, about $3,000 worth of PC parts through the site or app have had a few issues—mostly because I didn’t check the QVL for the motherboard I bought.

Here it is again. One was a dead ram and the other was a funko. It broke during transport.
warehouse is almost all returns like others suggested. You should keep in mind that what you are buying, someone already bought, couldnt figure out how to use it properly, and then jammed it back in the box and sent it back. For stuff you cant really mess up or lose parts from its fine but something like a PGA cpu it's a fairly high chance it is because they failed to install it properly and bent some pins or something. I think you should be able to return it still if this is the case as sold/shipped from amazon stuff doesnt have the strictest return policy. I dont really think you have anything to lose by trying aside from a day or two of waiting for the parcel
There are 12 units available matching the same details. Likely the packaging was damaged during handling, possibly due to a careless worker using a box knife and only lightly touching it.
