On the bright side, you have a new deck of playing cards.

Something tells me OP is lacking a critical piece of info, such as a shady 3rd party seller... this doesn't look like OEM Apple boxing to me.

They went to the even more minimalist boxes a few years ago

I find it strange these these delivery companies don't actually suffer any real consequences.

Here in my country, we'll be sending people to jail for theft.

Delivery companies will also check that your trade-in phone is inside the box before they accept it, and seal it again. And if there's anything criminal, same thing, we'll send you to jail, all for a phone.

I just don't understand the quality and standards of such well known companies like Fedex, DHL, etc in other countries. We have the same companies here.

This exact same thing happened to me on eBay.

Expecting my 15 Pro Max tomorrow here in the uk - having had a similar incident to this with another delivery recently hoping this one goes well 🤞 Glad Apple sorted your order OP 👍

Which iPhone Pro Max though?

Apple Store sent you this?

Look properly. Maybe there is a $1000 gift or lottery.

On anything shipped to my home, I use my Amex Gold card to cover loss, damage or theft for 90 days. Always have a card like this for this type of shipment.

This happened to a friend of mine in college. She ordered a one of those MyBook external hard drives and when she opened the packaged there was an actual brick inside lol.
