I'm always wary of packing that doesn't look like it was factory sealed.

That said, I once bought a hard drive from Staples. The shrink wrap looked normal. A few months later (!) Laurie opened the package only to find the box was stuffed with 3x5 index cards and not the hard drive. Took it back to the store and they actually refunded my money!
