What do you think about this?
Wut?
Edit: Nvm can see the image now. That hole is nearly a perfect rectangle.

I don't know, I have't opened it. I'm just assuming it's broken.

There seems to be a lot of stuffing, at most I think there'd be a scratch. You can deal with the seller after that, even more so if you took shipping insurance for such a precious item.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh that was a risky move... I bought mine in pieces, around a thousand dollar in total, and then built it myself. And when I moved two years after that, I shipped it to myself and made sure to take insurance anyway. It was like 50$ more to make sure my precious jewel would make it safely (or that I'd get enough money to replace the broken parts). Worth it really, when your computer is what you use the most daily.

Open it. If it's broken, send it back for a new one.
Comment has been collapsed.
should still be able to send it back just explain what happened to who you ordered from I got a bent computer case one time and was given an return label right away (deleted story that doesn't matter)

Hah, a poll option that perfectly describes my action: "I thought that hyper-linked period at the end was a giveaway"
The more important question is, did the contents survive intact, is the hole just superficial or did it actually cause damage as well? Cos the amount of styrofoam around most things these days like that, means you may find it's all ok. Fingers crossed.

I ordered a motherboard last year and it came in the middle of a washing machine box. Literally it was an actual washing machine box filled with styrofoam pellets with the motherboard in the middle. And the motherboard was broken.

It was really bizarre. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

You have no idea. :D One summer I had a job working for UPS. This was when things were less automated. The loaded trailers would come in with most of the light / fragile stuff on the bottom and the big heavy stuff thrown on top. My job was to unload them as fast as possible.

Well, I'm not trying to defend him in any way but knowing how most couriers are treated in my country I think I can guess why they have this kind of attitude.
Also - is it seriously real footage or some kind of 'prank' for mediocre tv show?

Damn, with todays paranoid to record everything and everyone, with camera on almost every corner, I wonder what they have in their minds to act like that.

You never gotta give up mate, never let it get you down.
Just call em and explain.
I wonder what that courrier was doing to it..

Ouch. Why have you not opened it yet to check, though?

Annoyed, tired, kind of a zero-effort day today I guess.

Looks like something was hitting the box repeatedly during the trip, going by those other brown markings. Hope the machine survived the trip.

Sorry to hear that Nyoko! Hope the computer is well!

Looks like it got a hit from a forklift of some sort. :D

Maybe GabeN is sending a sign... "Don't buy that shit. Buy a steam machine Nyokoy7 : ) "

Go to the store and pick it from there. If something is broken, you haven't bought it yet ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man, that's some nasty damage. I hope what's inside works fine or at least they're willing to replace it.
Comment has been collapsed.
It seems the forklift operator got it with the 3rd try :D
Comment has been collapsed.
there's a fucking hole on the side of the computer box which is inside the box shown above.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, i was kidding. At my previous job an autosampler for a waste water facility was delivered in much worst condition. It was destroyed and the markings from the forklift was all over the container box.
EDIT: You should send the photo to the seller and explain the situation.

Because i'm a foster child and this is where they placed me.

Hopefully it works. :D
I mean, even if you signed for it, if you paid for it with a CC and they don't want to exchange it, you can always charge it back :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ow... That looks pretty bad. However, I'm really confused as of why you haven't opened the box yet.
You must feel really pissed about this right now, so if I were you, I'd open the box to at least determine whether or not the computer sustained any actual damage. If not, well your day just got better, you were lucky! If not, well at least you now have a good reason to be angry. ^^

The delivery company will have insurance. You can prove you didn't sign for it, and you didn't specifically agree for someone else to sign for it either. This picture is when you first saw the box, with it still sealed, worst case scenario is that it is broken and with this you have the evidence to complain to the delivery company for a refund of the parcel.
Hopefully it is either not broken when you finally open it, or it gets fixed without any more cost to you
Comment has been collapsed.
I disagree, in this image you cannot see the top of the box. So they do not know if I opened it or not. Therefore it could be reasoned that I did this AFTERWARDS I opened it. Also that any damage that happened to it could have happened afterwards I opened it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Assuming that you bought it - it is always seller's responsibility to make sure item is delivered to you in one piece (at least in the US). It does not matter if you accepted or refused the damaged package. Besides, the contents may not even be damaged (hard to tell just looking at the picture).

Move the box, if something moves inside, something is broken, if not, something is broken...
Damn.

I feel really sorry for you, but I agree that you should contact the shipper. Ask the person on the phone what his/her name is, and record the conversation. Bonus points if you have a webcam and can show them the box through Skype or something (also recorded). Documentation isevwerything when it comes to a court of law (in case you have to sue for damages).
"So, you want me to open the box, now? OK, I will now open the box on the authority of [support person]...."
Comment has been collapsed.
Well it's too late. I already opened it because someone I know was telling me to just open it since it was already signed for and "there was nothing we could do" I mean I could send it back obviously. But minds as well check it out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, so here's an important question... Was there any noticeable physical damage (scratches, dents) on the CPU on the same side and region the hole is in the box? If there wasn't, you're safe with the warranty, I suppose.
Regarding the HDMI cable, well, I'm not sure what "hard getting the HDMI cord there" means. You have to make a lot of effort to plug it in? About the TV, if it's a TV, not a monitor, you have to use the HDMI (DVI) port. The "normal" HDMI port won't work often.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well there's only one HDMI port on the computer. Also now that you mention it, yeah there's two tiny dents on the side of the computer. Also I probably voided my warranty already. So whatever, gg I guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
They are 2 TINY dents? Doesn't sound like too much damage. And is the motherboard on this side of the CPU? If not, you should be safe. If yes, there's a chance something bad happened, but not necessarily.
About the HDMI, I meant the port on your TV. There are usually more than one. Not on the computer.
PS: BTW, what's that computer's specs?
Comment has been collapsed.
I see. Also the Motherboard was on the opposite side of the computer. Trust me, if the impact wasn't in a place where there wasn't a whole lot of nothing. I wouldn't have even turned the computer on. Would've sent that shit straight back.
Also, here's my specs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Then I can say with some confidence that you should be safe...
BTW, nice computer! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, iunno. Nothing seemed out of place or loose inside the computer. Still worried rightfully so. But in the end I hope it's fine and works as expected.
CAUSE I WANT THAT HIGH QUALITY 60 FPS GAMEPLAY! YEAH!

Well the computer i've been struggling with the people I bought it from for two weeks finally came in today! And behold behold! It has a giant fucking hole on the side of the box! (see below)
That's nice. I wouldn't have accepted it, but these stupid asshole old ladies I live with don't give a crap about me and didn't think "Gee, there sure is a lot of FRAGILE warnings on this box. And Nyoko7 DID tell me that she was expecting a COMPUTER which she said would cost her ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. So instead of GOING TO HER ROOM AND LETTING HER KNOW HER ORDER IS HERE. I'm just going to sign this order even though it's NOT MINE and there's a GIANT HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX WITH GIANT BOLD FRAGILE WARNINGS AROUND THE BOX."
They got me immediately after they signed it. Fucking pricks.
Edit: Last night I plugged a HDMI cord into it, to my tv and it was hard getting the HDMI cord in there. Eventually I got it in. It doesn't always respond to the HDMI cord so that might be a sign.
Other than that, I don't know. I don't have a monitor yet, or speakers even. Also with my internet connection being absolutely horrendous (we're talking 48 kb/s internet speeds.) It's really hard to tell if my computer is a broken piece of crap or not. The HDMI problems is really all I have to report right now, it doesn't have any physical damages as far as I can tell. I know pretty much nothing about computers and I just started my education about them 2 months ago. So, iunno.
