It was just in a larger box, u might be able to see it in the corner of the photo, but apart from that nothing to protect it, there was room for it too move about..The outer box was fine no damage, cant say that was the original one from OCuk though..
Click to expand...

OcUK don't believe in air cushions like some do ;)
 
i got mine today box is in mint condtion, cant try it yet :( am still waiting on the pci e adaptor,had to get it some where else as here its out of stock.
 
I'd send it back purely because it was damaged regardless of how much damage done it should be pristine to start with.
 
i got a card from the OcUK shop, direct, today and it was bent like that... and it was factory sealed... i don't see the point of RMAing it when it's something so simple to fix. after all, that metal isn't exactly the strongest metal around
 
Erm it doesn't matter. You pay for a pristine new card. The card is bent and therefore not pristine.

Would you happily accept a brand new car with a big scratch down the middle?

Or a ding in the door.

Neither affect the usage of the product but you'd still not be happy right?, so why should he bend over in this instance. Send it back tbfh.

Difference being you can't simply repair a scratch in a car's paintwork yourself.

TBH I would feel silly RMAing a card for this reason. All that hassle and waiting when it could be fixed harmlessly in a minute with some pliers.

The box shouldn't have that big hole in it though.
 
Point being you shouldn't have to fix it at all, it's a new item. It was damaged in transit. Send it back no questions.

and exactly what hassle?

Putting it in a jiffy bag and popping down to the Post Office. Right. If he sent it back today they may even send a replacement out by the end of the week..
