One of the best tips for purchasing online is to make sure that the supplier of the product is trustworthy. Otherwise, it is likely that we will get some unwanted scares, but what sanity101 could not imagine is that the amazon I would screw up to the bottom.
This Reddit user has asked the community for help after purchasing a GeForce RTX 4080 Super Gaming OC 16GB, which reaches more than 1,260 euros in the store. “I was away for the weekend when it arrived, but my girlfriend received the package and left it on my desk so I could come home and open it myself when I was back,” explains the customer, who chose the graphic from Amazon Germany, he living in Ireland.
“I was a little suspicious when the plastic seal on the box seemed a little damaged… and then the box itself had some marks, so I was even more suspicious,” says sanity101, but the surprise when opening it was total. Two LITE-ON 52x32x52x LTR-52327S CD-ROM readers, from more than 20 years ago, and a WD400 hard drive They were inside, which made it clear that he had been the victim of a scam. “I called Amazon and the agent said he would request a replacement on my behalf as soon as possible, but I've never had anything like this happen to me before,” a shocked sanity101 declares.
As it says, the package should weigh 2.04 kg, but actually its actual weight is 3.19 kg, so “I'm confused about how did he manage to pass his controls with such a difference.” Thanks to the collaboration of Reddit members, it seems that the problem has been solved.
After some pretty frustrating calls and back and forth with customer service, they agreed to refund me once I ship the package, which is the best outcome I guess…
In addition, he wanted to insist that he did not buy the RTX 4080 from a seller other than Amazon to save money, “since I did not want to bet on an external seller by spending 1,300 euros, but it happened anyway.”
