Evening everyone,
Just want to say I've been reading this forum for many years and the wealth of knowledge here has always been invaluable, tonight i find myself faced with an issue which i need your help with and which hopefully will help others seaching that have the same issue.
I have an MSI Gtx 1050 Ti 4 Gb graphics card that has artefacts which I have arranged with MSI ( worth mentioning for those that might be wondering that they have been very quick to respond and very helpful ) to send in for a repair at their Poland repair center.
So I packaged the card as instructed by MSI, put the invoice, RMA notice, 3 extra copies of the invoice in a pouch (UPS courier request that i provide extra copies) and the postage label itself on the outside of the box and put another loosely taped extra invoice copy to the parcel just in case, I sent it off on the 17.12.2021 and on the 21.12.2021 I got a notice to say that my parcel is being returned the reason being " Return to Shipper , Reason for return : Service disruption occured". The parcel made it all the way to Stanford Le Hope, United Kingdom which I am guessing is where the customs check is done before being put on a plane.
Now I am guessing that the reason for the return is that the customs officer didn't like something, my question is if there are any among you that have done this before, what didn't they like what didn't I do correctly?
My only guess is that perhaps the parcel size is too small the and invoice is not adequetly streached out, or that the courier couldn't be bothered to rip the pouch to take out the extra invoices to hand to the customs guys and maybe I should have done that differently.
Ignore that the parcel looks a bit battered in the photos that is cause on the return UPS dropped it over the fence and it sat in the rain for 6 days ( I was unaware it was returned though it was stuck in Stanford Le Hope), luckily I packaged it well and it is safe.
