At least these guys put some thoughts into what they repackaged.

Sometimes you gotta check and make sure you are getting what you pay for...

A lot of places do that last stuff without you even realizing it, and Apple and Google monitor everywhere you go/everything you do too. For that reason, I keep location off and only turn it on when looking for an address/I'm lost somewhere.

I have a de-Googled phone which doesn't have any of that monitoring software. It runs a version of Linux...

Any secondary apps are side-loaded using apks. VPN. Very light on apps, no social media. The only social media I run is from a cell emulator on my PC. Except Facebook, I practice browser segregation with it, so Edge is for FB and never any other site ever. Chrome is only for Google on PC and never any other site. All it can reference is itself that way.

Turning the location data on your cell to "off" doesn't stop the data and location mining FYI. All it does is turn it off on your own end. It is still running contact tracing if your phone updated to that software during the lockdowns and it is still location mapping, just not allowing all the apps to access the data.

I just found a Falcon box with a nice cut along the corner of the box. I didn't open it, but the box felt pretty light. At least the return to windowed packaging will keep up the creativity seen by these people. The windowless boxes just made thieving boring

Walmart's where I worked while in college, often there was one person covering three plus departments, if they couldn't be found customers would stop me trying to go home on my way out the store for help so I would often sneak out or deny I worked there.

Not a repack, but a thrashed bald variant of Lady Jaye.

Sheesh, that's bad! I wonder if the package got so thrashed that her cap fell off and they re-taped her up?

Well, some women love it when you pull their hair.

And this coming from a self-professed Dirtbag!

Seriously though. I agree. The Walmart beside my house used to have an epidemic level of repacks. They were always these super gross janky as shit "customs". It went on for about 3 years. I used to constantly take them to customers service. Then all of a sudden he just stopped. I hope he stopped because his nuts were turned into lava orbs and yanked through top of his head via an orbital transmogrification inverse gravity projector satellite. But it was probably nothing so simple.
