I do understand that they want to prevent fraudulent returns, but it's pretty obvious that nothing is suspicious when the item is still factory-sealed and the serial #s match etc.
In addition if something goes awry with processing the refund, the employee has just made it look like you returned a used product when you didn't even open it.
Hey, to each their own. For a few dollars more on a multi-hundred dollar item, you can buy a brand new unit with a full warranty + ability to buy an extended warranty. Takes all the ambiguity out of the situation.

30+ pages of people getting it to work with ipads including this ipad mini.
If someone couldn't get it done then they just didn't want it enough
If you purchased it from Target and used the Circle offer, it would've been $399.99 + tax. Your statement completely omits the need to price match with a competitor.
Also more people were declined than approved. Not wanting it badly enough had nothing to do with it. It was more about the timing of how soon you requested a price match once the Circle offers began on Sunday along with whether local employees knew/cared.
Take care.
But hey, you snooze you lose. Now either buy someone's sloppy seconds or pay full MSRP like a pleb.

They said it was Apples policy tho. I guess there are too many scams replacing the item inside

This happened frequently to walmart when ipad first launched.
Hence the current policy of opening up any returns by the customers.
If a store just accepts returns without any inspection of the content, scammer groups will undoubtedly do this sort of nonsense systematically.
Also making counterfeit seal and shrink wrap will be easier to pull off(and more profitable) then making counterfeit bills.

Also Apple's shrink wrap is different-looking than other retailers due to their unique tabs. Plus Apple ended the shrink wrap for most of its products still on sale. They use pull tabs now. Have scammers duplicated that?
