I purchased a Ring Doorbell Gen 1 from a place that resells amazon returns and since I can’t provide proof of purchase or contact the previous owner, I’m unable to use it.
Amazon is extremely wasteful by throwing out returns. Companies should be glad their products are being used rather than being thrown in the trash. Especially a product that uses a subscription service. I’m not buying a new one, I only got this one because it was discounted.
Is there any other way for me to gain access to this doorbell?
