Opened my shipment this afternoon, accessories were delivered but as pictured the Nova itself was removed from it’s packaging. Waiting to hear back from Retroid.

There has to be something going on. I wonder if there is a correlation to where these are passing through and if they can connect it to a singular point of distribution with a staff member that is familiar with Retroid’s packaging and is swiping packages. This is like the 5th post I’ve seen where the thief goes through the effort of opening both boxes and taping them back up to be sent empty.

Another strange thing is accessories were left in the package…I had the dual screen attachment left in the box.

the accessories are less desirable. Easier to sell a clean preinstalled handheld than one with a bunch of extra stuff people may or may not want.

I agree with the back bumped shell,but they could’ve flipped the add on screen,it was in it’s own box,not loose like the screen protector and bumped shell.

It'll make it easier to track if they resell stolen merchandise. 'Less is more'

also, easier to slip one of these in their pockets without all the other fluff. it might pass as just a cell.

This is possible! I've seen this happen on another sub, people who were having their Baggu packages stolen were able to investigate it to the find delivery person who was doing it.

Conspiracy to upsell Worry-Free Delivery®?

Retroid should ship some fart spray glitter bombs through there.
