Dang, my TI4400 came in a wet package

[mrman3k]

I can't believe this, I get home today anticipating the arrival of my MSI Ti4400 and a new Blue Dragon Case with the window from Newegg, but the boxes were wet and there was a message on my answering machine from Fedex saying sorry that the boxes were wet. So I give them a call and basically they came back, picked it up and they will replace it because apparently in the truck, there was a package with water and it broke and got everything wet. Anyway, I am really mad because I was really looking foward to a TI4400, but I guess I will have to wait a few more days.

Jeez, thats some rotton luck. Who the hell is shipping items with water in it?? Thats BS.

Can't beat me... Last summer when I ordered my AMD Tbird 1.2, A7A266 & RAM, I had hoped to get it for a LAN party, so I order it on the Monday before the party. So, the package never arrives in Mesquite by Wednesday (Like it normally does if I order on a Monday), so I check the site a week after and it was delayed because a train derailed. How often does that freakin happen!?!?

Dude i know howya feel!!! Almost everything i have ever order that has came by fedex has came mess up!

But of all things the one that really got too me was when i order my santa cruz card a few mths ago.....not only was it late by 2.5 mths but when it came the guy who was huge at that takes the box and thows it down at my door step.... i looked at the box ( the box was all mess up not to say it was wet ) and the guy was like "oh sorry about that" i ask him should i signe for it and he told me that "who the heck wants to signe for there stuff" luckly the card works!

another lame thing was i order a psu and i got it on a monda.... the dude fuss at me cause i was not home the day before and he had to come bac k out to my house.... wait when did fedex started sundays and ah last i knew i was home.... them ppl are on drugs big time fedex blows for sure..... UPS no better everytime i order somehting for 2 days i get it ground...... wasted cash for sureness dudes!

i send out and recieve dozens of packages a month, and i have never had any problems with fedex. airborn express has also been great for me. USPS and UPS have ruined or lost several of my items, however.

Well you guys will never believe this, I was really upset when around 2pm the doorbell rings and it is a Fedex guy with a package. It was a Fedex box a little larger than a graphics card box. There was no water marks so I was completely thrilled. I brought it in and tore it open to find my MSI Ti4400. I put that sucker in and it works great, getting 6000 3DMarks with AA, 8X Antiostrophic (sp?), but the really amazing part is I have a 1.1GHz T-bird with PC133 memory, not DDR which would boost performace a lot. I was expecting only around 5000 marks, so I am totally stoked right now. The other box which they told me was wet was only the case, so I am going to be going in a few minutes to the Fedex place to see if the water damage is not bad, I will just take the case. But this card is absolutely amazing, the fan is not loud like THG and others have said, it is whisper quiet and I only have my powersupply fan, and CPU fan which is the stock AMD fan. Image quality appears to be the same to me as it was with my Radeon, so I am very pleased. This is my first Nvidia card and it has been a picture perfect experience.

Sounds like my kind of luck but it hasn't happened to me yet(knock on wood). I haven't had a problem with fedex or usps yet. I prefer usps priority mail, cheap but still get it in 3 days unless the company you ordered the stuff from is slow. There have been a couple things sent to me by ups that have been slighty damaged on the outside of the box. Ordered some bose 701 speakers that were sent by ups(had no choice). The box was damaged but the speakers were untouched. If they were damaged, ups would've been out $900.
