Packaging rant
06.04.10 at 12:20:33
 
AngryPlease feel free to rant about postage and packing here, no names please. Angry

Well I was sitting having a cup of tea while reading the paper this morning when I heard a thud as the postman delivered the mail. Surely my recent purchase had not just been pushed through the letterbox and had crashed to the floor. I found a rather poor quality jiffy bag (bubble wrap envelope)with a 4500 PCI in it, sent the cheapest way possible despite the high postage paid. Will test card later after close inspection
May the ebay battle commence.

i had it once..luckly not with a boxed card or smt but with a boxed game.
The box came in a really really bad shape too me...just like they played football with it ^^Or like they putted a feet on it.The seller did just a brown paper around it,and i always ask they put the box in a bigger box with cushioning/bubble wrap or whatever is needed too have a full protection.
And he dared too ask me too leave some feedback....After that 1 he sended the items well protected..

Well it seems the 4500PCI is a very robust card and works perfectly Smiley

Hmmm I can go on for a while on this. Bought some PV cells from a seller in Canada well opened the package up to find furniture stuffing with about 8 cells broken and one in fragments needless to say I had to stick it to the guy for it (paypal dispute). Had crushed boxes, had two items stolen by neighbors (hey mom wares my m61 vulcan). I have had some that came in stinking of their former homes like moldy pizza and one 8600gts that smelled rather awful (organic) like than of a rotting animal (great dead pet maybe or an old folk who knows Shocked) just about every thing can happen I live in the USSA (United Socialist States of America). I got gouged again by usps bastards deliberately miscalibrated their scales to over weigh packages so they have the excuse to over charge their customers yesterday. I am sick of the ponzimonium of the market place oh what its that obese gubberment and titanic corporations.

Must remember to ask sellers in future whether the item comes from a smoke free, pet free (dead or otherwise) and with or without pizza topping.

Hey that's awesome, good idea. Smiley

Didn't you mean weeks though instead of months?
