I believed some are purposely dented to declare a lower value for importation.
I bought milo gao kosong from a few sellers before and guess what, each and every tin has a dent on the side. This is not new. Even in steel industry, there are people who do these "workaround" to declare a lower value for the product that they wish to import. For example, some would cut a decent hole on each of the 4 corners or even weld something onto the plate. This would allow them to import them as scrap which is subjected to lower import duty as well as a lower value. Dont ask me if it is worth doing, and there is obviously enough demand for them to do these sort of things.
It's really hard to decide. Let's say I bought one, and even seller was genuine, somehow mine got dented after delivered.I bought milo gao kosong from a few sellers before and guess what, each and every tin has a dent on the side.

Usually if I bought only one from the shop for the first time, it's dented.. I'll check with the seller.
If seller seem genuine, usually I'll just take it.. and if I like the product, I'll order again. From there, I'll know.. if 2nd order also dented, then will completely stop.
It still depends on the item, if food inside should be fine/protected and no leaking.. I think can accept lah for once. But for phone case, even if one dented, right away request refund.
I think Shopee/Lazada also keeps track on the customer, if same person want to refund for small things frequently.. in future, any serious or expensive claim, it'll be tough because return rate is high.
