Serial number mismatch

I am having trouble with my Rift S and wanting to return it  to Best Buy. I noticed that the box has a different serial number than the actual headset. Is this common or my headset was a return or refurbished one? I got it new from Best Buy

Hey @"San.Sangano" the serial numbers for each of the components and the box wouldn't match. They're all individually separate, you can note that to the retailer if needed. If you have issues, and would like confirmation another way, you're welcome to create a ticket at http://support.oculus.com/ where we can note the same thing as well, which may help with returning the device. - Principe

TBH I never even looked - but this does raise the question - why would a box require a serial number ?
