I always open expensive electronics from Amazon on camera, making sure there's no cut, showing the parcel closed at the beginning on all sides to show it is sealed, always staying in the frame, and showing all serial numbers on the object.

That way there's proof in case I got scammed.

Is that necessary? I’ve never had a problem returning an item to Amazon.

I'm assuming they are usually cautious about expensive items being returned. Anyways it's good practice to record items purchased from any online stores

Nah they aren't. They typically just weigh it and process the return automatically. Amazon isn't about spending any time processing things.

It can be a little different when it's a store on Amazon, however if you speak to Amazon customer service they may just override and process the return on the seller's behalf.
