Do Argos put their own seal on mobiles?

Just wondered if Argos put their own seal on mobile phone boxes. It had the do not open if this seal is tampered on it but over the top was a huge white sticker and then the argos number sticker, but their is not way of knowing if the original seal was broken as it was covered with the white one? Thanks

    it may of been a customer service show before buy
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    They use (amongst others) 20:20 distribution who often unbox/rebox depending on the spec of the devices that they (distributor) are buying, and the spec that Argos are selling. Once the device gets into the Argos stock stream there is no reason for it to be opened unless it's to insert a sim into the box or device.
  • There was an o2 PAYG sim inside shoved down the side of the box and an o2 PAYG sticker on the front

    So chances are that it was opened then. Is there something missing from the box, or something about the phone that you're not happy with?
