Hello everyone, I hope 2021 is going better for you guys than it is for me currently.
I never usually do this type of stuff, Why? well because i've never had issues with overclockers before, I used them when i built my first PC and i use them every time when i upgrade.
My fiancé bought me the 5900x as a gift (she's basically allowing me to get a new build since my old one is dying). I finally got around to being allowed to open it, She mentioned prior to me being able to have the gift that the Box was damaged, I told her not to worry transit can be rough sometimes. The outter box appeared to be pushed in and pulled down if that makes sense, while slightly being torn. The cpu box itself was torn all the way down with nothing but one of the manuals left inside it. (I will also like to mention i may have caused more damage when opening "THE OUTTER BOX" it due to the sheer panic of the actual state of the box. It was worse than i thought). I never attempted to open the cpu box.
I'm not claiming someone has stolen it (although it's not uncommon these days). I'm just concerned that we've lost £600.
I contacted overclockers and they basically told me they cannot do anything about it and I'll have to wait a long time for DPD (The Delivery Service) to do an investigation. Some friends have told me to contact my bank/or osbudman.
Just wanted some opinions on it.

friend of mine bought a load of expensive NVME drives for their business - around 1/3rd the drive was either missing, padded out with cardboard or contained someone else's old drive! (this was from more than one retailer).
