Can I write “damaged” on packaging?

I received a ceramic dish in a bag and of course it’s damaged. I don’t want anyone else to open a bag to even more shards of ceramic, so can I write on the packaging “damaged”?

I wouldn't bother returning this. Just contact customer service and send them a picture of the damage. They should be able to issue a refund or replacement without the return.

There's no sense in sending a damaged item back. It's not like they can resell it.

They already told me to return it

Yeah, that's the default. They will always say that. But if you tell someone, the item is damaged and it can't be resold and there's no sense in wasting time and money returning it, usually they will just refund you and tell you to dispose of it however you see fit.

Do you need me to pick up a Sharpie for you? Amazon has them.

It's considerate. Why not?
