iskout Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 A month or two ago, I made a post about the degrading quality of Newegg's shipping service. Several people noted that they, too, had received mediocre-at-best packing in the recent months. Well, someone over at the MLG forums bought a number of items the other day, and well... I'll just link you the post from OCN. http://www.overclock.net/t/1169129/newegg-terrible-shipping-on-my-3930k-pics This is basically exactly what I've been worried about happening to my components.

Muchoman1 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 thats pretty bad. i got a ax1200 and it weighs a tonne and a half, no wonder the box got squashed like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 newegg needs to go back to the packing peanuts and lose the paper packing. My Martin Logan box looks rough, but is not broken through on the MLT-1's I bought from newegg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Oh my GAWD. I'd flip if it came to me like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celcius Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I saw that thread earlier today. Someone in the packaging department should be fired... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Guy Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 That sucks. I feel very lucky that I've always recieved my items in an exagerated box with peanuts. Never have I gotten the paper stuff that people talk about. If I did I'd be pissed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvstrats2 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I had to dig my 3930k out of a huge pile of packing peanuts when it arrived along with a mobo and cpu cooler all in the same box. I've bought a lot of stuff from newegg lately and it has all been packed in an obscene amount of packing peanuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengiant912 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Its not so much Newegg as it is UPS. Especially around the holiday season when they have a higher volume packages tend to get treated a little worse. The other day we got a bunch of Cisco switches in for a client and the boxes had obvious dents on them. Its just one of the risks you take ordering stuff online. Most retailers and distributors are pretty good about any concerns you have. You can pack something all you want doesn't mean it wont be abused by the shipping company...

BluePanda Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Seems like packing components in general have gone down. Even review items I get don't come in one piece all the time... UPS is rough with packages but this case the damages were all thanks to newegg. What has happened!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that the shipping couriers are pretty rough with the boxes, but isn't that the whole idea behind packing things well?

iskout Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I do agree that the shipping couriers are pretty rough with the boxes, but isn't that the whole idea behind packing things well? My thoughts exactly. Nick contacted Newegg's customer service and was asked to make sure that the CPU wasn't working before returning it, which very much surprises me. I'd be pretty angry too, if I were him. He hasn't gotten his motherboard yet, either, so he's pretty annoyed about that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) I just bought some M-Audio AV30 speakers off ebay and the guy had put no packing in the box. I just got these yesterday. They were just sitting in the box, no protection. I turn them on, and the the amp was blown and the tweeters were damaged. So I am I am sending them back. But I would agree that newegg does have poor shipping methods and UPS is very rough with packages.
