SWIM wants to 'pull an Amazon' on the German site...
« on: October 07, 2014, 07:00:33 am »
Anyone know if they have the same policy as the easy to scam US counterpart?

Until now swim stuck to third party sellers on amazon, but now they want to try amazon themselves since most say they refund without asking. Somehow swim thinks the german site is harder to get a refund on, especially since they require signature confirmation.

It's just as easy, trust me.
If you buy small items which aren't worth more than 200 €, they'll simply drop it in your mailbox.
Otherwise, simply make a huge X as a signature if they ask you for one, they won't fucking care.
In my area, they usually bring the package to the next post-office when they can't meet you at your home. That's when you're fucked, as you'll have to pick it up and there are cameras everywhere and even show your ID.

Thanks!

SWIM wants a tablet and they figured they would refuse to sign or sign with something else. But, how does amazon know SWIMS real signature and that the provided one isn't real?

How would one theoretically go with a xbox one?
