Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
Well the system that I was going to be giving away on here on the site and Facebook arrived and after opening it up you can clearly see that it didn't make it...
As you can see the video card isn't sitting right and the drive cage is blown out at the bottom.
Yup, clearly got dropped...
The top of the drive cage got ripped apart as both of the pressed in fittings got pulled out of the case.
The PCIe slot has pulled away from the motherboard and bent down from the drop and the weight of the GeForce GTX 570 video card
The case had some rattles and I found some spare parts.

Re: Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
Ouch...that's really disappointing... Can't you send a complaint and make them pay for the damage?

What was FedEx take on it? Did they offer to pay for the damages?

Re: Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
It was insured, so a claim was started with FedEx... An investigator will be calling me by Tuesday to start the process.
Re: Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
Just curious here, who built the system? Looks like a quality build all the way around. Lian Li, Antec WC, SSD, RAID, etc...

FedEx is notorious and damages more items than any other shipping company
To think they couldn't tell that it was a PC in the box.

Re: Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
That sucks! I wonder what the stats are for such claims. I pretty much doubt FedEx or UPS would want the public to know how many things they break during delivery. Good luck with your claim!

Re: Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
aww, should have shipped video card in the retail box. and then stuffed bubble wrap inside :\. and then ziptie those cages together so they don't expand like that.
We do that at a major computer retailer here in Canada, not bestbuy nor futureshop. one that does custom builds and such

Re: Shipping Damage - When FedEx Drops a PC
Our fedex guy drops the boxes from waist height when he delivers stuff. I shudder to think what happens at the distribution centers.

Do you think it was the same Fedex guy as this?:
