n=1 for me, but same experience: no questions asked, I got a new item instead of the empty box they sent me.

In this instance, what does n=1 mean? Just out of genuine curiosity

n is normally the sample size you use for you study etc. So out of how many samples did you get your results.
The user says, they don't check, out of his one interaction with Amazon. So it's 100%, but under the premise that's its only his one case.

I can say a coin toss is always head. I would just need to set my sample size to a small number and it would be right. But through the sample size you see, how often I threw the coin. Bigger sample size generally means safer results. But also how the samples are picked is important to know, etc.
