You can look up Best Buy bricks tablets. It happens with brick and mortar places as well.

Really the biggest problem is getting presents for people. Assuming you want them to be able to completely open it.

Well duh, it's right in the name. "Brick and mortar," not "tablet and camera lens."

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 5 points 4 days ago

No no, you misunderstand. You buy a brick, but recieve a tablet instead. Would totally ruin my day!

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, you can't throw tablets at cops

I recently bought a monitor from Canada Computers, it was a brand-new box with the manufacturer's seal intact. The attendant still opened the box and we both inspected the monitor, then he re-closed it using their own tamper-evident tape.

Best Buy will do this as well but in my experience they will only do so with items being sold as "open box".
