Need advice: Buying Galaxy S25+ on Flipkart. How do I ensure I don't get scammed?

Need advice: Buying Galaxy S25+ on Flipkart. How do I ensure I don't get scammed?

While the deal looks great, I've read quite a few horror stories online about people receiving used devices which is pre activated.

Since this is first time buying a phone online and its a huge amount of money for me, I am feeling a bit paranoid.

​I want to make sure I take every possible precaution because this is my first income and first phone

Could you guys guide me on how to do this safely?

•​Open Box Delivery: What exactly should I check before giving the OTP to the delivery guy?

•​Unboxing Precautions: Aside from taking a continuous video while opening the package what should I do. Yes I will first check the device warranty and IMEI on website that's it not pre activated.

•​Common Scams: Are there any new delivery or replacement scams I should be aware of right now

DOUBT: If i get little damaged phone can I reject the order after opening the phone box?

​Any tips, checklists, or personal experiences you can share to help me secure this purchase safely would be highly appreciated.

Thankyou.

18M 19F After Breakup

I’ve known a close friend for 10 years. 25 August 2024, she proposed to me, but we quickly realized we aren't compatible. She required constant attention throughout the day, which I couldn't provide due to my commitments to my family business and my studies. This led to frequent arguments, a period of silence, and eventually, I ended the romantic relationship. We agreed to go back to being "just friends." ​The issue is that whenever we are in a group, she becomes visibly jealous if other girls get close to me or if I compliment anyone else. For example, when her own sister rested her head on my shoulder, she made a disparaging face to another person who knew about our history. She doesn't realize I notice these small reactions, and seeing her this way makes me feel guilty and uncomfortable. Before she proposed, she made me promise that I would never break off our friendship no matter what happened. I feel stuck between that promise How can I determine if a friendship is still healthy to maintain when a past promise is the main thing holding it together?
