Hi,

Received my order today and arrived in this packaging..

Now this isn't exactly a complaint at the moment as i've not got round to opening it, and everything may be in order. But, I have to admit I do feel quite disappointed at the packaging OCuK has used on this order.

I've bought from OcUK a few times in the past and the packaging has always been pretty decent, a solid cardboard box with lots of packing out as you'd expect.

We are talking around £370 worth of fragile kit (Core i5-2500K, P8P67 PRO mobo, Corsair XMS3 4GB ram). Not just cables, a couple of fans or something.

I notice you use DPD now also, is this normal packaging with them? Has everyone else's kit arrived like this recently?

Anyway i'll update when I get round to opening and can check if everything's ok.

I would flatly refuse to accept something that looked to have been packed / treated negligently enough to cause damage. Good luck.

I should add that I've always been very impressed by OcUK's packaging when I've purchased from here. A competitor threw a load of watercooling stuff loose in a box, I was not pleased when I opened it. Fortunately no damage, but I haven't bought anything from them since and would advise people against them, if the forum rules allowed me to.

Well you know how it is, I thought it's at least worth a check. The delivery people can't be arsed to stand there why you check out the package contents, and you can't really tell with this kind of stuff if it's broke until you test it out anyway.

Thanks for good luck though, i'm generally an unlucky person but 'touch wood' this will work.
 
Well I got round to having a look, and doesn't look damaged so far. As you can see the motherboard protection isn't great either..

Will test it over the next few days when my SSD arrives! Please god work. I HATE having to RMA it's such a hassle.
