Thank you DHL for destroying a Graphics Card

Thank you DHL for destroying a Graphics Card

Packages arrive here any day of the week. UPS, DHL, FedEX, TNT .. we're on a first name basis. Not often things go wrong, in fact almost always all goes flawless except from a delay here and there. So today DHL delivered a package from MSI, it's a new graphics cards that is soon to be announced. Now the carton was already dented as if an elephant actually sat on it. But OMFG, sometimes you just have to wonder with how much care freight is dealt these days. Are you ready to be shocked, have a peek and hit read more. 

Now there we go that's not a little dent that's a cooler smashed, PCB bend and broken, little parts and components everywhere ... well done DHL !!

*sighs*

probably caught in there conveyer system but you can refuse delivery if the package is visually damaged,still bad trade on dhl`s side to even atempt to deliver it

Things like this happen every day, no matter what courier it is.
What i wonder is why Hilbert accepted delivery instead of writing protocol with the person that delivered it and signing it off as damaged/destroyed parcel.

Probably because he also has the choice of opening the package up, seeing that the item is indeed actually damaged and then filing for the same damage/destroyed claim?

I can't even tell you how many times I've had damaged boxes come to my house/office but the contents inside buried underneath another 30 boxes and styrofoam is fine.

Multiple reasons actually:

1) First being, I have a review deadline to make.
2) Often a box is dented, the product inside not so much
3) The declared value if this parcel was 50 USD, low insurance value
4) We can claim damage after receiving the product
5) this product is from MSI, they need to make the claim

But point 1 first and foremost ...
