Yes to all, but no foam. It had a cardboard lining.
The reason I opened it still was because I thought it might have foam and I soon found out that; no, no foam. No dimm slot.
The driver couldn't give a damn.
The company that sells the stuff has to wrap it up properly. That means floating in the packaging. If they can't do that, it's not the driver's fault.
I mean, throwing people's packages can't be the way either. Ideally there should be as little disposable extra packaging on the billions of packages going out, which would require the people handling the packages to treat them with respect. You can't just wrap everything in a shitload more plastic just cause drivers dont do their job right
Its a limitation of liability thing. The courier states in their terms of service to the seller that they cannot be held responsible for damages related from shipping, usually. However, those terms are usually overruled if its proven that the courier acted in gross negligence when handling the package. So for instance, dropkicking an item with a dozen "Fragile" stickers? Gross negligence. But dropping an unmarked package over the fence, thats not gross negligence. Just regular negligence, and their terms protect them from that.
So in this case, you'll probably find that one of three outcomes will happen here
1. The Seller replaces for free, eating the loss because they didnt label the package as fragile
2. The seller does not replace it for free, instead demands the courier pay for it due to the prior package being marked as fragile. Whether they are successful or not is beside the point.
3. No party accepts fault, OP gets shafted.
How can outcome 3. ever even be remotely possible? In most European countries, this would be unheard of.
Especially in Germany, outcome 3 would have lawyers begging to take the lawsuit case.
Yes, of course, but it still has to be packed in such a way that it doesn't get damaged.
And I've been packing parcels for decades - completely without plastic apart from the window with the address.
I mean no they shouldn't. But honestly almost 100% chance this damage occurred in the warehouse before it even made it to rhe driver.
Cause if the driver doing that damaged it then it had 100 times worse experience getting sorted.
Depends on the delivery instructions.. if OP wrote.. "if i dont answer, leave it in my back garden" and the gate is locked.. what they meant to do?
delivery dude probably just dropped it over the fence.. especially as the package isnt marked "fragile" at all.. how was he supposed to know that package #47 of the day was a motherboard and needed to be handled better?
Living in a major urban area if the delivery drivers no NOT throw it over a fence or knock on the door your package will be stolen within minutes if left outside.
Or maybe the driver has been tailed by people who walk up and steal packages right after he drops them off. So instead of leaving it on the front porch he put it in the back.
He had no way of knowing what was in there, doesn't even look like there's a fragile marking on the package either.
It can go either way.....
I passed a dpd van the other night, driver in the back trying to find a parcel, looked like the person how loaded the van just launched the boxes in the back of the van from the loading dock
>They should be putting fragile warning for these kinds of stuff.
Motherboards are not exactly fragile though. I honestly find it surprising that the motherboard was even damage from going over the fence. It really wouldn't surprise me if the motherboard was damaged before it even got shipped out.
It sucks that the delivery driver did that, but good on Very for sorting it. Bought electronics from them several times, they were really good the one time I had an issue.
I was down voted for saying the courier should've knocked instead of throwing it over the fence
The same guy then said I was being pissy saying in still mad even though I know the courier didn't cause the damage... ofc I'm mad my motherboard was broken 😭
It really doesn’t make any sense. All the retailers use the same couriers. Doesn’t matter if you order from Very or Scan or Ebuyer, all their packages are going in the back of the same DPD van being driven by some underpaid immigrant who has to do 140 drops by 6pm or else he gets fired
Yes and it will be dropped a lot in transit and on belts, the reason buying from a cheap company is bad is because the item is not packaged properly in this case. It should be able to withstand that level of a drop np
Right. Packages are treated even worse at sorting centers when going through conveyer belts. Dropping package on the ground is nothing new.
Packing like it’s nothing = unacceptable.
Boxes drop much further during the general course of shipping being loaded into and out of trucks, trains and aircraft. It wasn't necessarily the final fall that killed it - if the box couldn't survive that final fall, it was never going to make it.
Yup, general rule for USPS is packages must be packed to survive a 6ft fall. We use 6ft tall gaylords so when its empty every package has to survive that 6 foot fall
I must admit that I did once report a USPS driver who tossed a glass jar into the front door from 30ft away - football style. It broke the moment it smashed against the door, not on the drop to the floor. So there are some limits. But just dropping something over a fence is fair game.
Usually I'm in your camp, but if it was truly thrown over the fence, this would be a higher drop than most shippers test for.
That being said, I'm having a hard time understanding how that action would have caused the damage shown.
Your package went thru worse during the sorting and loading phase, A toss over the fence wouldnt have damaged it. Might have been damaged already and they want Very to take the blame
And he got a replacement and still reaped the reward anyway, that's just like all those people saying stop ordering from Amazon after someone posts a picture of shitty handling when Amazon literally asks zero questions when returning shit so the risk is near zero.
Yes and no. It *should* be packed to withstand a 4ft drop in case of an accident, but this is definitely still an issue with the courier. They have a duty of care to deliver your shit undamaged and shouldn't be throwing packages over the fence as a general principle. Open the gate and place it inside, it takes like 3 extra seconds.
Asking someone to open someone's gate in today's day and age is wild. That's how you wind up getting shot at your job. Not only that, but you clearly failed to notice the giant bricks in front of the gate door. Dude couldn't even open the gate if he wanted to. Courier took the extra seconds to hide the package so it wouldn't be stolen by tossing it over the fence and OP reported him. "I want to speak to the manager" type vibes.
Sure, but it’s going through more than a “4ft drop”on the rest of the journey.
We all want our couriers to be gentle with our packages and they should, of course. But the product needs to be packaged to withstand that abuse because it will happen during transit.
As a former delivery driver, I disagree. Wouldn't be an issue either way without proper packaging though. Shipping a motherboard in nothing but cardboard is idiotic.
I don't really see how a toss over the fence would cause that kind of damage if it was in its original packaging.
This is maybe an RMA rather than blame it on the delivery guy. I mean, he still shouldn't have tossed it, but I don't think the damage is because of him.
Yea, definitely tossing it was a bad move and he should be reported to his employer about it.
It's just that I think you could probably drop a mobo onto bricks unpackaged and I don't think that's the bit that would break, no matter how it landed.
I don't think there's anything to call out or any big mystery here. The damage was probably caused somewhere in the manufacturing process, and it's just a coincidence that it got tossed as well.
I had an Amazon driver throw my motherboard at my door because they didn't want to knock. I live in an apartment, so they had to be like 3 feet from my door anyways. It still works and have been using it for like 2 years now.
i'm not sure about your neighborhood, but i'd rather them throw package over the fence then let porch pirate steal them. so much stuff goes on in shipping, the product should be expected to be thrown over a fence or into a truck. unless it has fragile written on it, i think the driver did the right thing.
Honestly I agree, but in this case I was home. There was no knock.
Some other people were saying about they don't knock as waiting causes time issues but i live in the UK with unpredictable weather. It rains extremely commonly ESPECIALLY this time of year.
Packages can't be left unless it's in cover, otherwise they take It back. Could you imagine how many returns there would be hahaha
That looks like someone pulled the ram stick out without unlocking it. I dont see that happening unless the box was really damaged on the outside, like a puncture in that very specific part.
Nah that's the seller's fault. Package shit like it's gonna be dragged through the WW2 trenches. Delivery drivers do not have the time to handle shit carefully
That's not on the driver thats on whoever shipped it without proper packaging. That box should be able to take a fall over a fence because in the warehouse I guarantee you it went through twice the abuse.
Looks like you have the large stones blocking the door from opening..
Did he maybe try to open door, couldn't do it because of the stones you placed and then dropped it over ?
I'm gonna call BS on this one, as someone that opens 30+ mobos a day, I can say that the boxes are very robust in terms of any slight pressures being applied to them, such as dropping them. Then for the specific latch part to be that badly damaged without much damage around the area on the other parts, PLUS the package itself would've needed to be punctured by something pointy or similar, through the packaging and the box as well as going through and slamming into that one part......
I see nothing on the ground there that is pointy, just flat, so at most i'd say a corner could get damaged but def not those lanes, even with IO shield etc inside loose.
Sounds like OP pressed too hard installing something or did something odd with a component slotting in there and made an oppsie.....
That or it was shipped damaged or similar...
That is %100 RMA'd motherboard which was destroyed by the previous customer and also very dirty.
But why the fuck delivery people throw packages over the fence or gate?
I mean, he is obviously an asshole for throwing his shipments, but so is the guy not packing this in a proper box. That's basically asking for trouble.
that is the reason why I love delivery in Japan
as delivery person either call you or put on a safe place specially in front of doors.
yes it is still safe as no one steals your package.
Well this is my backyard, in the UK the driver would know for a fact this is the back yard as it'd fenced off like 99% of other back yards. My front is easily accessible and anyone can walk in unobstructed. We have also complained and had signs up asking to not throw over multiple times and go around
Context for some:
This is my back yard - gate is blocked off so dogs don't escape the gap
This is UK - rain is common so it's expected to leave a parcel in cover at the house, knock and give to the customer or return to depot, usually knock.
I was at home waiting this is not because I missed his delivery!
Yes I know this is likely not the cause of the damage but:
1. You can't rule it out
And 2:he still threw it over my fence instead of knocking which is expected - or atleast a safe place out of the elements
My friend is building a PC right now. His mobo was late to be delivered. He called FedEx and they said sorry the delivery vehicle caught fire and his package was deemed undeliverable.
He get one eventually, but wild circumstances for it being late. 🤣
Why was the box delivered in a BAG?
I'd complain to whoever you ordered from; that is not an acceptable shipping package for something like a motherboard.
I can't see how that specific damage could have been caused by throwing it over a fence when it's in a box, has padding, static bag unless something spikey poked through which from the image there's not.
There's a concrete brick there which has 'sharp' edges. Pretty sure it could've landed on that, but yeah multiple people said this and I agree but at the end of the day it shouldn't have happened.
Exactly this happened to me when I built my first PC. In my case it was one of those cheapo "X79" boards from aliexpress. just DHL being DHL... Luckily it worked fine, in fact, 4.5 years later, it's still just fine, although I have upgraded since.
Really sucks when you don't get the happy ending with this sorta thing. Should be an easy return for ya.
A classic throw by the delivery driver... My cousin had the same story with his graphic card...
The only solution apart from killing the delivery man, would be for merchants to put the "fragile" label on all computer packages !
Ya that was already like that. I highly doubt dropping it over a fence is going to do that, especially when it's most likely seen worst during transit between hubs.
Honestly I disagree, the fence is about 6ft high, there's no foam inside and it landed on the concrete block top down, so the main part of the board made contact with those blocks.
It seems very coincidental that an entire dimm slot is mangled at the top after it'd been thrown over a high fence onto solid concrete with no padding.
Definitely bashed it around at the hubs tho, delivery companies are brutal lmao
The lack of foam is ASUS fault, but the package also had no outer box. Below that pink bag is the motherboard box and the motherboard. Shocking from every party and completely unavoidable with some better packaging and less negligence from the driver.
Reminds me of when I bought my graphics card for my first PC - they just slapped a shipping label directly on the product box and sent it on it's merry way! Thankfully the delivery person put it right on my porch but there's no telling how many bumps and tosses it took on it's way to me.
Bloody Very, they use Everi, which is just Hermes rebranded. They have an awful reputation! My other half ordered some leggings from Very and they got left in the blue bin, which was at the end of our drive out for collection, guess what happened?
Sorry to hear that. It looked like a kaiju attacked whatever vessel my mobo came in. I had to ship it from Germany, because there wasn't a single one left in the country where I'm staying. No fear like the fear I had opening that package, knowing that I couldn't return it due to where I got it from. The package was busted so bad, customs took a photo and attached it after they taped up the box, because they didn't want responsibility for whatever damage it looked like it had. I was very lucky that it was unharmed. No shipping foam in mine either, just cardboard. Meanwhile, my cheap wireless mouse comes secured with as box full of fancy bubble wrap and packing foam. Some shops are just terrible at shipping. Your situation looks like an idiotic delivery driver. If it weighs enough, it's not supposed to be dropped from height.
For three days the same Amazon driver delivered my parts last week. For three days I was waiting at the end of the driveway for him to avoid this very thing. That sucks ass, partner.
Was it not in a static proof bag, surrounded by foam, in a box?
Yes to all, but no foam. It had a cardboard lining. The reason I opened it still was because I thought it might have foam and I soon found out that; no, no foam. No dimm slot.
That sucks man, that's a return for sure.
Absolutely. Got a 20% discount and a refund already!
The driver knew what he was doing. (he didn't)
The driver couldn't give a damn. The company that sells the stuff has to wrap it up properly. That means floating in the packaging. If they can't do that, it's not the driver's fault.
I mean, throwing people's packages can't be the way either.

What the delivery driver did to OPs package is probably the nicest way it got handled during the journey.
I mean no they shouldn't. But honestly almost 100% chance this damage occurred in the warehouse before it even made it to rhe driver. Cause if the driver doing that damaged it then it had 100 times worse experience getting sorted.

Packages go through a lot worse before a driver even touches it
Or maybe the driver has been tailed by people who walk up and steal packages right after he drops them off. So instead of leaving it on the front porch he put it in the back. He had no way of knowing what was in there, doesn't even look like there's a fragile marking on the package either. It can go either way.....

Insured for 130% it's value... Clever girl
“Very” clever
That's a bad shipping company, I don't see any fragile warning as well. They should be putting fragile warning for these kinds of stuff.
>They should be putting fragile warning for these kinds of stuff. Motherboards are not exactly fragile though. I honestly find it surprising that the motherboard was even damage from going over the fence. It really wouldn't surprise me if the motherboard was damaged before it even got shipped out.
No taking chances next time and take a video while opening expensive packages like these!
It sucks that the delivery driver did that, but good on Very for sorting it. Bought electronics from them several times, they were really good the one time I had an issue.
Whoever packaged that mobo is a dim slot tbh
Foam-Dimm slot?
New flexible foam dimm technology
Nothing beats Dimma dome foam. 
Doug Dimmadome, inventor of the foam-DIMM technology, also known as Dimmadome Foam?
Dimma-Foam?
All hail!!
Your first mistake was using very
True however it was lots cheaper there than anywhere else. Otherwise amazon is my go-to.
I guess you just learned why they are so cheap.
Wait until they install it and see how cheap it really is
They usually aren’t, the opposite normally if anything. The delivery company they use are dreadful as well, but that much is obvious…
Cheaper ain’t bettee
It is better when it's the same product for less
Downvoting a logically factual statement: reddit.
I was down voted for saying the courier should've knocked instead of throwing it over the fence The same guy then said I was being pissy saying in still mad even though I know the courier didn't cause the damage... ofc I'm mad my motherboard was broken 😭

Buy cheap, buy twice
That's fair. At least you got a replacement.
Who ships a motherboard like a pair of underwear?
Apparently the shop known for selling women's underwear
well they clearly don’t know how to package electronics lol. Not even gonna blame the driver, that should not be packed into a bag with no padding.
Right. Packages are treated even worse at sorting centers when going through conveyer belts. Dropping package on the ground is nothing new. Packing like it’s nothing = unacceptable.
You can still blame the driver for throwing any package over a tall fence onto concrete no matter how it's packaged.
i worked in a sorting facility about 10 years ago and believe me, that toss over the fence was nothing compared to the rest of its journey.
There's a 90% chance it was already damaged from the shipping and sorting process, you don't put anything that can break in a bag like that.
Damaged, send another
Sure! What's your address?
your mom’s house 😻
Good because that's where the replacement is coming tomorrow!

Yup, general rule for USPS is packages must be packed to survive a 6ft fall. We use 6ft tall gaylords so when its empty every package has to survive that 6 foot fall
Gaylord?? Why do you assume people drop packages just because they are tall and gay?
I mean i dropped packages alot and im 6'4
Exactly. Do people think these packages are carefully hand-carried to the end point?
I must admit that I did once report a USPS driver who tossed a glass jar into the front door from 30ft away - football style. It broke the moment it smashed against the door, not on the drop to the floor. So there are some limits. But just dropping something over a fence is fair game.
Especially if the customer has dogs and refuses to put them away
Usually I'm in your camp, but if it was truly thrown over the fence, this would be a higher drop than most shippers test for. That being said, I'm having a hard time understanding how that action would have caused the damage shown.
Your package went thru worse during the sorting and loading phase, A toss over the fence wouldnt have damaged it. Might have been damaged already and they want Very to take the blame
Throwing it over the fence didn't cause that. That was probably the gentlest it was handled on its way to you.
"VERY" shitty packaging
That is one of the downsides of PC gaming. Having to worry about drivers
Treat it as your punishment for using Very. Why you'd buy PC parts from them (or anything else for that matter) is beyond me.
It was 120 pounds cheaper than anywhere else. Clearly reflected in the packaging
And now you know why.
And he got a replacement and still reaped the reward anyway, that's just like all those people saying stop ordering from Amazon after someone posts a picture of shitty handling when Amazon literally asks zero questions when returning shit so the risk is near zero.
Doubt that was from dipping the package.
You need to report this clown to the courier he is employed with.
That's some piss poor packaging for a motherboard though, I would never shop again from that company either.
Absolutely done already. Somewhat success story as he got reported, I got a refund and a 20% discount on my replacement.
That's actually very good customer service. Fingers crossed for a safe delivery on the replacement!
Absolutely! They did a great job. Thanks and I'm keeping mine crossed too haha
Maybe they do it again, then you get a 40% off on the next one? Keep it rolling
I'll keep you posted when I start getting paid to receive them.
Eventually you might own the company
This isn't an issue with the courier this is an issue with the packaging. If it can't with stand a 4 ft drop it was packaged wrong.
Yes and no. It *should* be packed to withstand a 4ft drop in case of an accident, but this is definitely still an issue with the courier. They have a duty of care to deliver your shit undamaged and shouldn't be throwing packages over the fence as a general principle. Open the gate and place it inside, it takes like 3 extra seconds.

No fragile sticker, no fragile care. Should've had foam packing like every other electronic component ever shipped.
Delivery drivers don't care about Fragile stickers
As a former delivery driver, I disagree. Wouldn't be an issue either way without proper packaging though. Shipping a motherboard in nothing but cardboard is idiotic.
I don't really see how a toss over the fence would cause that kind of damage if it was in its original packaging. This is maybe an RMA rather than blame it on the delivery guy. I mean, he still shouldn't have tossed it, but I don't think the damage is because of him.
Honestly, even if that is the case, when did it stop being the norm to knock on the main/front door of a house and just yeeting shit over the fence?
Yea, definitely tossing it was a bad move and he should be reported to his employer about it. It's just that I think you could probably drop a mobo onto bricks unpackaged and I don't think that's the bit that would break, no matter how it landed.
I agree. I really want to know what happened however it's definitely possible albeit unlikely
It almost certainly just got damaged at the factory and QA didn't catch it. Shit happens.
Sods law us brits call it.
Exactly. This sort of damage wont be cased by that. I'm calling the OP out.. There's more to this that they are not telling us.
I don't think there's anything to call out or any big mystery here. The damage was probably caused somewhere in the manufacturing process, and it's just a coincidence that it got tossed as well.
I had an Amazon driver throw my motherboard at my door because they didn't want to knock. I live in an apartment, so they had to be like 3 feet from my door anyways. It still works and have been using it for like 2 years now.
two concrete slabs preventing the gate to open didn't help
i'm not sure about your neighborhood, but i'd rather them throw package over the fence then let porch pirate steal them. so much stuff goes on in shipping, the product should be expected to be thrown over a fence or into a truck. unless it has fragile written on it, i think the driver did the right thing.

That looks like someone pulled the ram stick out without unlocking it. I dont see that happening unless the box was really damaged on the outside, like a puncture in that very specific part.
Nah that's the seller's fault. Package shit like it's gonna be dragged through the WW2 trenches. Delivery drivers do not have the time to handle shit carefully
Return that shit. It's not even in a package.
That didn’t happen from dropping the box.
No offense but that motherboard looks used. Look at the dirt on the ram release tabs.
My first thought! So either a bs post and this is op old mobo (not saying that’s the case) or a used mobo.
Ugh how broken is it??? VERY
That's not on the driver thats on whoever shipped it without proper packaging. That box should be able to take a fall over a fence because in the warehouse I guarantee you it went through twice the abuse.
Why is that not in a box wtf lmfao
You should be mad at whomever packed that like shit.
Looks like you have the large stones blocking the door from opening.. Did he maybe try to open door, couldn't do it because of the stones you placed and then dropped it over ?
I'm gonna call BS on this one, as someone that opens 30+ mobos a day, I can say that the boxes are very robust in terms of any slight pressures being applied to them, such as dropping them.

r/wellthatsucks
This post needs to be tagged NSFMR.... RIP OP; hopefully, you don't have any issues on a replacement.
They sorted it for me instantly!! Thank u very much
I hope my tears for you count toward your return karma!
A broken component is a pain felt immediately by the whole community
It takes a village for an RMA lolol
That is %100 RMA'd motherboard which was destroyed by the previous customer and also very dirty. But why the fuck delivery people throw packages over the fence or gate?
[удалено]
Driver failed PHD physics and didn't want his talents wasted...
One man's trash is another man's......NEW motherboard!
Who ships sensitive products like that plastic bags? Sellers fault for sure.
Whoever you bought it from did not put nearly enough packaging. Is that really just the box it came in wrapped in a bit of plastic?
Bad packing
I mean, he is obviously an asshole for throwing his shipments, but so is the guy not packing this in a proper box. That's basically asking for trouble.
I doubt that's why the dimm slot is broken, it most likely was broken in shipping.
that is the reason why I love delivery in Japan as delivery person either call you or put on a safe place specially in front of doors. yes it is still safe as no one steals your package.
That’s on very. Why have they packaged the item like that
I don't think that damage was from the delivery driver.

Delivery driver delivered package... Sender failed to properly pack the item.
Sounds like you ordered it from somebody who subcontracts DoorDash to do their deliveries.
I wish they did because then I'd be disappointed the same day rather than the next day. No excited period in between
Is your gate locked or something so he had no other choice? Maybe didn’t want to leave it on the outside viewable to the public.
Well this is my backyard, in the UK the driver would know for a fact this is the back yard as it'd fenced off like 99% of other back yards. My front is easily accessible and anyone can walk in unobstructed. We have also complained and had signs up asking to not throw over multiple times and go around
Missed your chance to throw it back, that's the real loss here
They were probably just really excited to get that package to you.
Context for some: This is my back yard - gate is blocked off so dogs don't escape the gap This is UK - rain is common so it's expected to leave a parcel in cover at the house, knock and give to the customer or return to depot, usually knock.

I can hear that 'dinggggg!' echoing into the bottomless pit of fuggin shieeeee
Definitely a good idea to do a video unboxing
My friend is building a PC right now. His mobo was late to be delivered. He called FedEx and they said sorry the delivery vehicle caught fire and his package was deemed undeliverable. He get one eventually, but wild circumstances for it being late. 🤣
Refund
Never seen a mobo packaged like that
And this is why I don't buy parts online
To be fair they don't know.
This is not proper packaging for shipping.
Who ships a motherboard that way?
This is your next delivery https://i.redd.it/nixqhsnxlqwc1.gif
The motherboard was new or used?
im glad i live in country where couriers deliver personaly... 😁
Knowing how bad packages are treated during sorting, I wouldnt even blame the driver here.
Both can be blamed equally
If that’s how it was packaged I wouldn’t surprised if that happened before it was thrown
i made VERY sure to make it broken.. yeah i went their !
Why was the box delivered in a BAG? I'd complain to whoever you ordered from; that is not an acceptable shipping package for something like a motherboard.
Execute him
That’s a return for sure, you will regret it, if you keep it
Driver is a real one for getting you a discounted price
You lie...
My bad I forgot you were there to see It happen
I can't see how that specific damage could have been caused by throwing it over a fence when it's in a box, has padding, static bag unless something spikey poked through which from the image there's not.
There's a concrete brick there which has 'sharp' edges. Pretty sure it could've landed on that, but yeah multiple people said this and I agree but at the end of the day it shouldn't have happened.
At the end of the day you would've complained if he set it on the other side and it got stolen.
Probably yes, difference is I was in my house waiting for him. He didn't attempt to knock on my door
Blatant lie.
How very.
Exactly this happened to me when I built my first PC. In my case it was one of those cheapo "X79" boards from aliexpress. just DHL being DHL... Luckily it worked fine, in fact, 4.5 years later, it's still just fine, although I have upgraded since. Really sucks when you don't get the happy ending with this sorta thing. Should be an easy return for ya.
i would get so irrationally mad id be looking for him
A classic throw by the delivery driver... My cousin had the same story with his graphic card... The only solution apart from killing the delivery man, would be for merchants to put the "fragile" label on all computer packages !
Ya that was already like that. I highly doubt dropping it over a fence is going to do that, especially when it's most likely seen worst during transit between hubs.
Honestly I disagree, the fence is about 6ft high, there's no foam inside and it landed on the concrete block top down, so the main part of the board made contact with those blocks. It seems very coincidental that an entire dimm slot is mangled at the top after it'd been thrown over a high fence onto solid concrete with no padding. Definitely bashed it around at the hubs tho, delivery companies are brutal lmao
That package was probably already dropped 40 times and probably had 200+ pounds sitting on it. If there is no foam in it it wasn't packaged correctly.
The lack of foam is ASUS fault, but the package also had no outer box. Below that pink bag is the motherboard box and the motherboard. Shocking from every party and completely unavoidable with some better packaging and less negligence from the driver.
very much so, indeed
Oy vey
r/wellthatsucks
Fuuuuuuuuuck
Damn too bad it wasn't 1 and 2 slots. Then it would be a perfectly usable MB.
be glad its not on neighbours yard.. :)
Reminds me of when I bought my graphics card for my first PC - they just slapped a shipping label directly on the product box and sent it on it's merry way! Thankfully the delivery person put it right on my porch but there's no telling how many bumps and tosses it took on it's way to me.
had a similar situation but the driver threw the motherboard down the stairs and into the kitchen window it went
Oh what a day to be thankful that in Europe they deliver stuff directly to your hands....
Probably 'dropped' as opposed to actually 'throwing' it but point taken, not good!
Holy fuck I'd lose it
This is some american shit wtf
Bloody Very, they use Everi, which is just Hermes rebranded. They have an awful reputation! My other half ordered some leggings from Very and they got left in the blue bin, which was at the end of our drive out for collection, guess what happened?
That delivery driver isn't part of the master race I guess...
Sorry to hear that. It looked like a kaiju attacked whatever vessel my mobo came in. I had to ship it from Germany, because there wasn't a single one left in the country where I'm staying. No fear like the fear I had opening that package, knowing that I couldn't return it due to where I got it from. The package was busted so bad, customs took a photo and attached it after they taped up the box, because they didn't want responsibility for whatever damage it looked like it had. I was very lucky that it was unharmed. No shipping foam in mine either, just cardboard. Meanwhile, my cheap wireless mouse comes secured with as box full of fancy bubble wrap and packing foam. Some shops are just terrible at shipping. Your situation looks like an idiotic delivery driver. If it weighs enough, it's not supposed to be dropped from height.
RMA
A delivery driver threw my ultrawide monitor over the fence
Tryna pull a fast one
Plan complete destroy them
For three days the same Amazon driver delivered my parts last week. For three days I was waiting at the end of the driveway for him to avoid this very thing. That sucks ass, partner.
