Genuinely hope that people that pull crap like that got karma hitting them in the face one of these days.Happend to me buying a warehouse deal EVGA GTX 980 back in December 2015, when they had that extra 20% off the prices. When I opened the EVGA box their was a GTX 460 or 470 in there. Amazon refunded me straight away.
OCUK take Amazon payment so I guess there's an affiliation of sorts there somewhere.I thought you weren't allowed to mention competitors on here?
Or is this allowed because it is negative?...
Having said all that has been said in this thread and I completely agree it is disgusting behaviour by the people returning lesser goods to Amazon...there are more complex things going on that people need to be aware of. I guess I have just been lucky..purchased loads of computer hardware from Amazon and never had anything but a brand new correctly labelled piece of hardware.
I tend not to buy any PC product where the reseller is offering a guaranteed ‘overclocked’ version of the same product. They all say they don’t do it but without a doubt binned CPUs / GPUs are sent out to customers who haven’t paid the premium for a ‘guaranteed overclock’ product (I mean its not as if the ones that don’t make the cut are put in the bin...and how many grade B items do you see?). Surely this is a scam where the reseller can never be caught and essentially negating any chance of you receiving a product that might OC well. Just my 2p.
No, you would not lose.
Because Amazon did the very same thing and sent cards out to unsuspecting buyers from their warehouse with different cards in them. The probability of that happening should be less because they actually have a system in place.
That's not how it works, I see what you are saying but ultimately you're trying to make a moral argument as a defence though you've neglected the obvious differences in volume. This is the realm of MPs and Parliament it would have no relevance in Amazon vs. "hey I've pulled one over the stupid retailer - person"
I'm not advocating it, nor have I or would I ever do this 'trick'.
I think we both agree this shouldnt be done by anyone. I do think Amazon should go to the authorities if they ever find this happening.
That's why you don't buy expensive graphics card from Amazon
I bought a gtx 1070 from amazon a while ago, it had issues, kicked up a fuss, they upgraded me to a gtx 1080 and a free code for Destiny 2! Amazon are good, at the end of the day they write it all off against tax...customer satisfaction is their ultimate aim..... Seems to be paying off handsomely.
