I had purchased from one of the competitors who use citylink out of the 8 times I bought something from them 6 of those times citylink didn't deliver. I was standing behind my door one day when he put the card through the letterbox, wasn't happy when I opened the door.
Never had issues with DPD though
Should have knocked him out
lol.
I just got a 460 GTX off a well known auction site but it was from a store in England and not a private selller and they had really really good reviews,only 1 negative feedback on it out of thousands and thousand of sales so i thought they would be reliable and the card was advertised as new and a really good price too.......
So i wait in the house all day and nothing arrives,i go and check my tracking number from parcel farce and it said "delivery attampted"
The guy didnt come anywhere near my house,i know that for a fact,and not just that,he left no card to let me know he'd been here (because he hadn't obviouly
)
So i had to argue in the post office for around 10 minutes that its my package and she was saying i cant release it without the card the delivery guy left even though i called parcel farce and they told me i can get it just as long as i bring ID and didnt even give me a code or anything to prove im legit and sounded like he didnt even care,as if its just standard procedure not to deliver stuff and lie about attempting deliveries
Eventualy the woman at the post office gave in to my demands and gave me the package anyway that had been sitting right next to her the whole time but insited she kept the letter i provided as proof of address so i let her keep it......
So i get home,open it up and find that the mini HDMI cable has been stolen/lost from the box aswell as the molex to 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The foam padding that normaly surrounds a card in the box to stop it being rattled around all over the place was gone too and there was cuts in the cardboard inside the box like little stab marks
(dont know if it was the card hitting the inside of the box that done it or if some weirdo stabbed it with a screwdriver
)
Needless to say,the card was broken when i tested it
The shop i got it from seemed genuinely shocked at what had happend and said its either the postman that done it or somehow one of their suppliers and issued an RMA number without question. Im having really bad luck with computer parts recently
I bought that card to replace a 9800GT i got from here that worked for about a week and overclockers charged me money to test it and said it works so im sitting here thinking my motherboard is broken and got a new one from another store so i could keep using my computer whilst i RMA's the original and when i plugged my 9800GT into it it still doesnt work
So i had to return that motherboard back as it didnt help one bit and to me just proves that the motherboard is fine and the cards wrecked.
It's not even detected by the motherboard unless the BCLK is higher than 103mhz and even though it works in windows and stress testing programs for quite a long time as soon as u try to play a game it totaly screws up! Tried a fresh install of the OS/drivers incase that was the problem and still wont work. Tested 3 other ATI cards in it and they all work perfectly!
All this has been ongoing since 2 days before xmas and i still dont have a properly working system that i can play games on!!!!!
Im not a happy chappy
