Yes, what freaks me out is when companies take any return, repackage it and sell it back as new.

Amazon does this all the time, and I have stopped buying from them. I try to get buy-for-life items. I don't return anything unless it's defective, but I don't want to get pre-owned things sold as new.

This definitely happens all the time, I get packages whose boxes have obviously been opened before all the time.

People double-dipping amazon products and saying they never got the package (or it was stolen) has been going on forever.
