Default Why are mainboard boxes already opened?

Strange, all my mobo boxes have been supplied sealed.
You dont really think Customs are going to open every box in a container do
you?
(unless you're in France, which youre not)

Considering the fact a mainboard is a very complex part of a
computer that you would want to know is factory fresh, how come
mainboard boxes are not factory sealed?

If that's because configuring has to be done after the factory, how
come the company that configures the thing does not seal the box?

Thank you.


Mobo boxes are factory sealed. It is Customs who open them to take a quick
peek inside the box.
