Intro: This delivery record explains why it pays to keep the outer packaging for a few days — principle-level, oriented around after-sales readiness.
Delivery scene
Parcel arrives intact. Recipient unboxes but keeps the outer carton, foam inserts, and seal for a week before discarding.
Key observations
Keeping the outer packaging: (1) preserves evidence if a defect shows up post-unboxing, (2) supports return/exchange requiring original packaging, (3) makes a dispute with the courier easier.
Principle-level suggestions
1) Seal check: tape should be a single run, no re-application or adhesive residue. 2) Accessory count: lay out against the checklist and photograph in one shot. 3) Evidence first: photograph wide + detail shots before any further handling. 4) Escalation order: report to the courier channel first, then sync with the ordering channel.
Risk reminder
Be wary of calls asking you to destroy the packaging first "for faster compensation" — that's a common fraud script. Proper after-sales never requires destroying evidence.

Safety reminder: Never share your recovery phrase, PIN, or verification codes with anyone. Take the device screen as the source of truth for key confirmations. If anything about the delivery or unboxing looks off — stop first, keep evidence, and contact the channel you ordered through.
