I have received an opened and resealed Rift box. How about you?

Has anyone else received an opened box for their first Rift?

I've ordered a new product and got what appears to be a used one instead. I did not fully open the box once the plastic bag was obviously tampered with and took pictures of it.

I find sending opened boxes as new terribly insulting (you may not, that has no bearing on me though).

Not willing to suffer through moths of support not answering based on the threads I see in here and I'm very close to request a refund/chargeback in case of no reply. Of course, already having DK2 and Vive may make me much less willing to accept compromise.

A week later edit: Some have thought this is a troll post and asked for pictures. I've attached them. I was so upset about the whole thing that I didn't come to the forums for all this time. In any case I decided to keep the unit and opened it. See the details later in the thread if you are curious. Here are the pictures:

if he's not located in the US then customs may have opened the unit for a check of the contents.. they do random package opening, which they may not inform the recipient of.
Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,
a plum is a terrible thing to do to a nostril.

This happened to me with something I ordered from Canada.  Some of the contents of the retail box ended up outside in the packing box.

Dont you guys think this story smells a bit of BS? If I post that my rift has been opened before delivery first thing I do is take pics of it for future proves, dont know maybe Im wrong.

I'm not sure that there is anything to be concerned about here, frankly. I don't remember any special seal on the outer plastic bag, but everything inside the box (you know, the stuff that actually counts) seemed perfectly new and pristine.

Now, if there were smudgy fingerprints and Cheetos crumbs all over the lenses and the foam stank of stale sweat and Mountain Dew, that would be another story...

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

I did notice that it started with one person and has now become a trend.

"Moths of Support" - that's one way to put it 😉

Good luck with your Rift though - as long as it has no physical defects and runs well, you'll be immersed and extremely happy soon enough!

Yeah, weird that so many people suddenly have the same issue within a day of each other.

Think it's people making up stories to make a single person's unique issue sound like a general product flaw?
Given how far some people have gone to slander Oculus and turn the public against them, this wouldn't surprise me in the least.  

It also wouldn't be the first time I've seen this sort of tactic used; there was a particular game on steam (which I'd rather not say the title of) that got bombarded with near-identical bad reviews overnight, all by people with less than 5 minutes playtime and private profiles...  coincidentally, a certain internet hate group had been making it their mission in life to slander the game's developer and harass their fans for months before (and continued for years after. They were an obsessive group, for sure).   I doubt those people have any relation to the Oculus-haters, but if there's an "Internet Trolls' Handbook" somewhere I bet they both own a copy. :confused: 

It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.
