Recently picked up a Dewalt 20V vacuum at a big box. Since they were not locked up, I could choose which of the 2 to buy. I noticed that 1/2 didn't have a clear plastic dot/seal, so I grabbed the one with the seal.
Since I had this item in my amazon cart, I was like huh? About 4 days later, it dropped from $149.00 (same as big box, same as today), to $129, and had a $20 coupon, net $109.
So I said I'll take that, $40 price drop, nice. And I'll return the other, I have not opened yet.
It comes from amazon, and I'm immediately suspicious, no seal.
I open the box and get the distinct feeling this was a return, but am looking for 100% confirmation, and it's tough.
Found it. The belt clip was screwed in to the tool. The tool really didn't fit into the cardboard that holds it in place as a result, and tore that cardboard.
Would this matter to you? The vacuum itself doesn't look like it was used, just opened, and likely put back. Is this why it was $109? It was not sold as a return or warehouse deal etc. It was sold as new. The practice annoys me.
With their returns policy, I bet this happens quite a lot. And why doesn't Dewalt have a better seal to indicate if something were opened or not.
