So my replacement 8800GTS 512 arrived today...

The card was shipped in the extremely flimsy box that it is sold retail in with the shipping information taped on the front. The box had the corners crushed, and looked like it had been stomped on repeatedly.

With DS knowing full well how UPS is full of dropout f*cktards who smash boxes, you'd think they would at least drop this box in a cardboard one to prevent the insanely expensive, delicate card inside from being damaged. No dice.

I removed the card from the box, and noticed that the metal had been severely bent during shipping. 'You've got to be f*cking kidding me' were my exact thoughts.

After attempting to pop the card in my pc and failing because of the bent metal, I bent it back to some semblance of what it used to be, and got it to fit.


I'm considering shipping the card right back, and demanding a non-damaged card shipped in a REAL box, not that flimsy piece of sh*t that offers ZERO protection to the card whatsoever.


So DS, what are my options for a replacement card for my effing replacement card? Oh, and please put the retail box in another sturdier box before you ship it, because CA to FL is a LONG distance for a flimsy piece of trash box to travel, and as we've seen they get stomped, thrown, and crushed.
