Just had a case delivered and the box looked as though it had been kicked to Glasgow and back. not surprisingly the case inside was damaged. Whats worse I cannot get an advance replacement because the case is out of stock.

I was struck by the customer service guy who said that this problem is not uncommon.

So back it goes and fortunately I have one sourced elsewhere and being delivered tomorrow,hopefully in one piece.

Anyone else have a similar problem with damaged packages from this company?
 
Had one delivered yesterday that suffered the same fate, shame because the delivery was really quick and the driver seemed to like PC stuff and had a little chat lol.

If you're going to complain, you need to do this to the retailer, NOT DPD.

You have no contract with DPD.

Don't understand the point of your comment as I clearly said the case is being returned after speaking with Customer Service. But I will have a word with the driver as I am a regular of his.

These things do happen I know, I was a delivery driver,it's more of a nuisance than anything,I have a build that was promised tomorrow to someone it will now be a day late. Not the end of the world, as I say a nuisance.
 
Damage is almost never caused by the delivery driver, damage usually happens way before that.
 
You have a right to refuse delivery and not sign if the item appears damaged. Saves the agro of having to return the product and wait.

As you've said its a nuisance because there was no more in stock but if its obvious from the exterior than the chances are that the contents aren't any better.
