Hi, i ordered a GPU from ocUK and it arrived without the seal film around it and the clear window in the box looked scratched and abit dirty, this makes me think i'v been sent an returned item or something dodgy needless to say i am peed off at the minute. Has anyone recieved and unsealed GPU from ocUK..?

Welcome to the club.
Quite simply not all cards come in a sealed bag, some don't come in any bag (anti static foam).
In some cases the seals are broken by the manufacturer to apply a bios update.
Does the card it's self look new?
A box can easily get a little dirty/damaged in storage/shipping too.

That's a nice spin you put on that message. Every card should be sealed end of. This practice needs to stop
Why?!

Why, because I've had 2 GPU's that have had grease and dust all over them. My last one looked like they took it to burger king. We pay a lot of money for these cards. How would like it if you bought a new TV and it had grease all over it. Would you be happy.....No
Then have a word with the manufacturers.
If they're unsealed that's usually how they arrived from them.
Isn't there a difference between "unsealed" and "unsealed and damaged/dirty" though?
Sounds like what you really want is to not be sent damaged/dirty goods (no surprise there). There are legitimate reasons for unsealed (clean/working) goods, as others have pointed out.

No, not all new cards come sealed.
Totally agree, but it's not always the retailers fault if they are not sealed
Why should they come sealed, and why "end of"? Are you the lord of conversation, and as such are able to dictate when a conversation comes to an end?

My two msi cards from different manufacturers were not sealed. You can normally tell by the state of the anti static bag if it has been used before.

MSI cards don't come sealed (the box doesn't) only the anti static bag comes with a tape.
HIS cards come with a seal, but not a film around the box
If I remember, Sapphire cards come with a seal as well.
Asus I don't remember but I think they don't come with a seal.
