I got both the ones I ordered - though they had to substitute the nickel version with black. So I have two black locks now. They look brand new as far as packaging is concerned, don't look used or refurbished at all.
I installed one today and it works perfectly. The only complication during the install was my previous deadbolt didn't have a so-called 'mortise' cut on the door. This is basically a depression into which you screw in the the plate on the side of the deadbolt and it seems some models of deadbolts don't need this (like my old one). The Eufy one needs it, however. It sticks out too far and hits the jamb if you don't carve out this depression.
So I had to first learn what a mortise was, then buy a Dremel with a wood router attachment (and a chisel set as backup that I didn't use) and learn how to use the damn thing to cut a mortise in my door so the deadbolt wouldn't hit the jamb. This took around an hour of work to get right. The rest of the install only took 5 mins or so. I do wish Eufy included a non-mortise version of this deadbolt.

I had the same issue as my door didn't have the mortise cut. I called eufy customer support and they were clueless as to what to do.
I found the instructions below on the eufy website for another lock, but worked on this model as well. I didn't need a replacement drive in faceplate as I just used the existing one and it worked perfectly. Would have been nice if customer support could have given me this info or they could just include instructions in the manual.
"Check the edge of the latch hole before installation. If your door doesn't have a rectangular cutout around the latch hole, you can use a flathead screwdriver to pop the rectangular faceplate off. Afterward, attach a round drive-in faceplate by sliding it over the top of the bolt and snapping it into place (round drive-in faceplate is not included, but you can contact customer service to receive a kit)."
p.s. I too had no idea what a mortise cut was before this whole adventure. Hopefully this can help somebody save hours of research.

Thank you! I should probably have tried to read up on it further instead of diving right in. I have one more door left to do, so this information will help greatly!
On the other hand, I guess I learned a little bit more about 'adulting' now thanks to this experience with tools I didn't even know existed before...
