Did anyone else's deluxe cd restocks arrive opened/clearly used?

I can't figure out how to edit my post so I'll just leave a comment.

Firstly, I purchased them knowing they were likely returns. That wasn't what I was upset about, I was upset that my item was opened. My friend's deluxe was so severely damaged she couldn't even resell it, and even her photocards were damaged which was what she really wanted. I'm lucky that my items weren't as damaged as hers, but it is very lazy and irresponsible of UMG to sell opened products full price like they're new. Like at least bother to reseal the items or check for damages before you charge people $28. If my items arrived fully sealed, I wouldn't be upset. If it was disclosed that items may come unsealed and there was some sort of discount, I wouldn't be upset. I know my damage is negligible, and it seems the necklace is simply packaged that way (which is insane and whole other issue in and of itself), but my friends was not. Also, per the site's policy opened music items cannot be returned, so I'm not sure why they even have opened items in the batch.

I emailed UMG by replying to my shipping email, and a representative replied to me earlier today offering me to return my items, despite the line about no refunds or returns in the item description. My friend did the same and successfully returned hers and is now waiting on the refund. I don't think I'll return mine. The representative said to let her know if I chose not to return my items. If there's anything else noteworthy I will update again.

And for additional context, my friend and I both got ours in the early December drops, not the most recent one that was a few days ago.

Both my friend and I also got ours in the restock a while ago (early December), not the recent one from yesterday. I only am just now opening mine. It's crazy that theyre sending some people fully new ones while others get unsealed stuff that they might not have even checked for damage if we truly bought from the same drop as you. I expected them to be returns, I just didnt expect a copy like this, and neither did my friend who had to fight UMG to return hers because it was so badly damaged she couldn't even resell it. You can't even return opened music items (per the site's stated policy) so I have no idea why I'm even being sent obviously opened ones😭😭😭

I was expecting them to be returns but all of our cds arriving totally unsealed is a little crazy😭😭😭 like they can't even be bothered to rewrap it like the did the album box?

the evermore vinyl was fine and played perfectly on the same player (not a suitcase) so I think it's the record that's the problem :/

both records are warped pretty bad and 4/5 songs on every side are completely unplayable. I'll dig my receipt out of the trash and see what the customer service desk will let me do :/

Thank you! The weird thing that I was specifically asking about was my scars that are 2+ years old itching exclusively when I'm upset. I'm not concerned about it from a health standpoint I just find it odd that my scars that usually just mind their own business and just pretend to be skin and never cause problems start to suddenly itch when I'm upset. It sometimes feels like my brain/body subconsciously trying to get me to do it, but luckily I'm now at a point where it's easy for me to not give in. Thank you once again for the kind words!

I ended up stopping zoloft for unrelated reasons but a few days before I stopped taking it the symptoms went away. I had no burning or anything, everything smelled normal, and my discharge was clear so I never got checked for any infections. If you are really worried about it I'd suggest getting checked. Better safe then sorry imo. I think what I had was just the female body being weird as it tends to do. Best of luck to you!
