So if it doesn't work when you buy it, that's trivial. I've also successfully returned things sans packaging despite claims to the contrary from shops. The easy start there is "give me a new one"... "oooh look, all the packaging you could possibly need". But for the plastic crud that you have to cut off, same deal, it still has a warranty and the shop can't contract out of it.
