slinger Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 New to the forums here. I recently discovered this network of helpful sites, and I'm glad I did. They have been more than helpful so far....thought those of you in the computer industry would enjoy these photos I took yesterday. Oh the joys of shipping....I wont say what company it was, but their name begins with a U and ends with an S. Any way, they refused to deliver it to our customer and returned it to us and offered to pay for the product. First time that has ever happened without us having to fight them for the cost of the damaged parts....we finally got the box returned to us, opened up the package and wow is all I could say when I saw the damaged that was done to this case. We have been trying to figure out just what they did, the damage was intense. the force that was applied to do this ammount of damage. The side panel was torn off and folded back upon itself [not pictured]. The motherboard, look at how much the board has curved. The screw to hold it in place is still there. The I/O shield is completed gone and tucked up by the front case fan. the video card, ripped from the motherboad, yet still held in place by the screw and the back slot ports. The curve of the motherboard, yet the CPU fan is still attached. Memory looks intact. The hard drives, sadly the two hard drives in the photo are 10,000 RPM 36 Gig drives set up with onboard RAID [mirrored] Only one of the SATA cables is not attached surprisingly. And if you look closely, I forgot to cut one of the zip ties used to bundle the power supply cables....The photos do not do the damage juctice, but it'll give you a good idea of what it looks like in person. Enjoy!http://www.dadsclan.com/2004/UPS-Damage01.jpghttp://www.dadsclan.com/2004/UPS-Damage02.jpghttp://www.dadsclan.com/2004/UPS-Damage03.jpghttp://www.dadsclan.com/2004/UPS-Damage04.jpghttp://www.dadsclan.com/2004/UPS-Damage05.jpghttp://www.dadsclan.com/2004/UPS-Damage06.jpgedited by doggie: lags some peoples connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ha! Good old U_S. I used to work at their central hub here in Louisville. Something heavy must have fell on it during shipping. If those trucks/containers aren't packed properly, nasty things can happen. U_S has a high employee turnover rate. Lots of high school kids and newbies loading these trucks. I've seen lots of nasty things happen to packages. It happens...Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinger Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Thanks for the welcome messages. I've been preinstalling for so long, I really can't believe I've never stumbled across these forums until this past week. The damaged PC was not run over by anything, it was squished by something. The box has no tread marks, but one side was completely torn open and the PC fell out of the special packing containers we spent too much money on. just a fluke accident however it happened. good thing is UPS was upfront and was more than willing to pay for the damage, no questions asked. This was actually the first time that UPS refused to deliver a product that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It screws up the tables... there is a fix for messing up the tables, there is an available modification so just the post with the over sized photo will have messed up tables, the rest stay the same.I will keep it in mind for the future, was my first post to the forum I never thought about the 56k people trying to look at them pics....
