This seems a problem for many sellers which Amazon shall look but you have few options in order to get it rectified or reimbursed by Amazon.
1. File Safe T Claim
2. Record a Video before opening the return package - Make sure the Label shows a clear Address, then open the package and inside content. This you can submit while filing SafeT claim with Amazon.
I hope this helps.

Ha lagbhag sabhi seller ke sath aisa hi hota hai. Or is issue ke liye ticket raise kro to seller support spf claim krne ko bolta hai. Lekin customer ke against koi action nahi liya jata hai.
Amazon should look over this on priority bases to resolve such type of fraud.

We have been facing these issues since opening of amazon account but over the years this percentage has increasing multifold.
1. Over my experience of a decade, its a customer retention war wherein fight is amongst the ecom portals and the customer is taking benefit out of it. He knows no one is going to block them and they create multiple IDs to do such
2, As detailed above, we have also observed such lapsation (intentionally or may be overlooking) by the courier pickup boys. They do check the product name, quality and sometime images while confirming pickup on the portal, Then then we receive changed product/some rubbish
Surely the above two scenarios that I have faced is impacting financially a lot to us at the unjust enrichment of the customer and amazon, but, a difficult question to answer is "DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOURSELF WITH AMAZON OR OTHER PORTALS"
The answer to the above will surely change your mindset

Evidence of ATS Staff Involvement in Product Theft
Based on careful analysis and our controlled tests orders , it has become evident that Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) staff are involved in product theft and facilitating fraudulent returns. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how this was confirmed and why Amazon has yet to take decisive action:
Reasons Why It's Clear That ATS Staff Are Involved in Theft
1. ATS Staff Are Involved in Theft
Amazon’s return policy mandates that returned items must be in the same condition as delivered, unused, and accompanied by all original brand tags.
Regular customers know that returning incorrect or used items would invalidate their refunds, as ATS staff usually verify the product against the listing image before accepting the return.
2. Controlled Test Orders:
We placed 7 Test orders from various states through friends and staffs family.
When deliberately attempting to hand over incorrect or used products during returns, ATS staff consistently refused to collect them, showing the listing image and demanding the correct item.
However, the acceptance of original products during these tests confirmed that ATS staff are aware of what is being returned.
3. Secure Return Covers and Seal Manipulation:
Fraudulent activities often involve Amazon Secure Return Covers with unique seal IDs available exclusively within Amazon hubs, which ATS staff can access.
This access enables the replacement or theft of genuine items during the return process, with the secure packaging giving the appearance of authenticity to sellers.
4. Order Cancellation Manipulation:
Another tactic involves ATS staff collaborating with friends or relatives who cancel orders when products reach the final delivery hub get refund.
The delivery staff heat the adhesive to open the package, remove or replace the product, and reseal it. The stolen products are then likely used for resale or personal gain.
Why This Is Happening and Amazon's Lack of Action
1. Outsourcing and Subcontracting: AND Seller support don't have any connection with these private contractors
Amazon outsources pickup and delivery to private contractors who further subcontract local delivery hubs.
The delivery confirmation emails and OTPs often list delivery personnel names that do not match local hub employees, suggesting manipulation in staffing records.
Contractors deduct fines from their delivery staff for missing or lost packages, but these staff often work under high-pressure conditions for minimal wages (₹15,000/month), creating vulnerabilities for theft.
2. Safe-T Claims Process:
Amazon deducts fines from contractors for lost packages, with cases where sellers submit legitimate evidence for Safe-T claims- and rejected with the reasons of “Safe T claim limit)
This allows Amazon to profit doubly:
Once by penalizing contractors.
Again by rejecting genuine Safe-T claims, where sellers also bear the financial burden.
3. Profit-Driven Mechanisms:
Normal Sale Profit: On a typical sale without a return:
Amazon charges ~20% commission, ~10% for shipping, and ~20% for ads — totaling 50% of the selling price. ( Approx )
Returned Product Profit: When a product is returned:
Amazon charges an additional 15% refund commission, retains 15% of the original commission, and still charges the shipping fee.
Sellers lose ~40% of the selling price during the first sale attempt.
Upon reselling, sellers incur the same commission and fees as the initial sale, leading to a cumulative loss of 100%-120% of the selling price.
Alongside these losses, sellers are also penalized for returns or discrepancies, further increasing Amazon's profit.
Conclusion
The combination of ATS staff involvement, flawed subcontracting practices, and Amazon’s profit-oriented return policies creates an ecosystem conducive to product theft and financial losses for sellers. By penalizing both contractors and sellers, Amazon generates additional profits, exacerbating the issue without addressing the root cause of theft and fraud.
Sellers are disproportionately affected, losing significant revenue while being held accountable for issues beyond their control.

This is very big issue but Amazon did not take any action.
I've also seen nowadays the courier service also start to deliver fake items to the buyer.
This is very big fraud doing Amazon courier service with the seller.
I have contacted many times to amazon support team but not anyone listen it.

isska ek hein solution a ke Self Ship Use kare aapne order ko bhejne ke liye Self ship mein customer a number dehk jata hai fir voh agar kuch kiya galat kiya baaki toh aap dehk lenge fir
mera toh ek 13,800 rupee ka rope light a order tha 8 piece ka jab bheja tha toh light tha jab aaya toh aluminum wire nikal gaya aur ye order toh delivery bhi nahi hua tha amazon ka koi staff change kar diya product.
English-
The only solution is to use Self Ship for sending your orders. In Self Ship, the customer’s number is visible, so if they do something wrong, you can handle it.
I had an order for a 13,800-rupee rope light with 8 pieces. When I sent it, it was a light, but when it arrived, inside there was aluminum wire instead of my 8-rope light's. This order was not even delivered; someone from Amazon staff changed the product.

Yes. I have faced the same problem for B'lore. A customer put ice pack in the return of a glass bead product. Such customers should be barred and banned from Amazon as a buyer.
Seller_TcHTs7J3PF7et
Agreed. Why don't they check the weight and size of the item, while the package is open? They have every detail of the order, and images of the product. They must check everything while taking the return package. But it is not just about customers, half of the times, delivery boys steal the item and place useless product instead, before delivering or after picking up the return.
