Received my Hitachi 1TB

[Saltank]

Maybe it was stupid of me to sign for it as the box was a little out of shape, but the drive seemed OK..only had a little scratch on it. We'll see if works!

A little out of shape?

 

[Saltank]

Finally put the drive in, so far so good!
Will need to use for a few days and see if it fails.
I think it should be fine, surprisingly.

 

[VaderDSL]

LOL at the state of that box, glad your HDD is working for the moment

 

[MivkM]

Wow, someones had a good kick around

 

[NickK]

Have you performed a complete format and verify?

 

[Saltank]

Yep, everything went fine....

 

[Dutch Guy]

That box reminds me of the vid of the UPS guy throwing the delivery to the door.

I would not have signed off on that before inspecting the drive and deffo no if I would notice a scratch on the drive

Yer, personally would have rejected that straight off, especially for something like a hd.

 

[RizlaKing]

That is anyting but a little out of shape and while i hope your drive is ok i wouldn't have signed for that at all.

Ace Ventura?

 

[Saltank]

Lesson learnt :\

The drive seems fine, if it fails, well, warranty!

Looks like he also delivered your harddrive

 

[Saltank]

HAHA!

Thankfully no, it was an angry Nigerian lady with DHL. Her opinion was that the box was not damaged and reluctantly, through a very irreconcilable attitude, mentioned I could refuse it. I took my chances.

I would have probably refused that parcel, that's disgraceful, they should be much more careful than they have apparently been. I am glad to hear your drive works though.

Most of the drivers that deliver to me are fairly good, I used to nearly always get the same City Link driver, a very nice chap, although lately it's been a different guy, who apparently can't talk, only make noises, although I haven't had any problems with him (seriously, I am not making a joke now, he really can't talk properly, I am not sure why) ...I'm not entirely sure what I would do if I did have an issue with a package, since 2 way communication might be tricky, then again he carries a pen and pad and makes communicative noises so I guess we'ed sort it out eventually.
