How to Document Unboxing with Photos to Prevent Disputes
Overview: Key points you should know about: How to Document Unboxing with Photos to Prevent Disputes.
Key takeaway: For inspection and first-time setup, confirm seals, serial number, and the initialisation flow are all official. Any prompt asking for the recovery phrase or PIN should halt the process immediately.
Action steps:
- Before unboxing, photograph the outer box from all four corners and the seals.
- Record each step of the unboxing and how the accessories are arranged.
- Save the video/photos to a secure local location.
- Keep the chain of evidence intact for future dispute handling.
- Only start the initialisation after the evidence is fully captured.
Safety reminder: Never enter your recovery phrase or PIN into a device or software whose authenticity you haven't verified. If a seal or serial number looks abnormal, stop using the device immediately, contact official support, and — if needed — switch to a new unit and migrate your assets.
