Overclockers.co.uk packaging standards
Hi
I am wondering what packaging Overclockers.co.uk generally uses when sending out graphics cards to customers. Does it use the graphics card's box in a jiffy bag method or does it wrap the card's box in 2" thick all-round bubble wrap or foam all placed in a cardboard box? What's your experince? Apparently Overclockers.co.uk claims the latter. TIA |

Always a good idea to check out komplett http://www.komplett.co.uk
They are quite often cheaper for the UK customers in my experience. They also package well S pRot3us wrote: yep, bubble wrap and cardboard box Sean "Toch" wrote in message ...

Komplett are very good at what they do, but, like Dabs.com, they charge alot more than the ones mentioned above. Harry PS I have have not problems with any of the dealer I mentioned, and I recommend them all. S pRot3us wrote: yep, bubble wrap and cardboard box Sean "Toch" wrote in message ...

Having been told they wouldn't provide a 30 day account time ago when I was
looking to buy stuff for a school (no chance of the school/LEA going broke), I refuse to use them. Their inflexibility at that time was offputting to say the least! They may have changed in the time since but according to the reviews he http://www.romulus2.com/feedback/chart.php?1&1 , they're way down the list in terms of customer satisfaction. Even if they package the item well, is it still worth the risk? Paul "Toch" wrote in message ...

Apparently Overclockers.co.uk claims the latter. Yeah, my 9800PRO came 3 weeks ago in a fairly large cardboard box with one of those sheets of huge pockets of air around it. My PSU came 1 week ago in a Jiffy bag, but that came in a damn sturdy box from the manufacturer anyway. So it'd depend on the packaging and type of the item being shipped, I think. Graphics cards should all come very well packaged. |

TAKE MY ADVICE
Don't touch overclockers with a barge pole. They screwed me around so bad, i was without a pc for weeks and they were totally uninterested in sorting out the complete mess they made. No phone calls answered, no emails replied to. And this was because they insisted they had sent out something i had ordered when they hadnt, and when they did it was totally wrong. I had to travel hundreds of miles on a roundtrip and confront them personally to get my goods. Steer well clear of this shambolic outfit. "Toch" wrote in message ...
