I have to assume this happens more often than people would like to admit - because I know too many people with incompetent dickfingers.

(Hell, I've done it myself, I just have a little pride and accept my mistakes.)

It definitely happens all the time. It's one of various consumer-error related reasons that I don't trust internet reviews of stuff that can be dickfingered.

Do people sometimes get parts that were damaged at the factory, or returned parts sent as new, ect? Yeah, surely. And the people who fuck stuff up and then blame the seller make things that much worse for those much-more-rare legit cases.

The fact that the people in these linked posts are so incredulous makes it all the more damning. When I find myself in such a situation, my reaction is generally 'oh no, no one is going to believe that I wasn't the one who fucked this up.' OTOH, the people who post these threads are more 'LOOK AT THIS PART I GOT. I'M SO MAD. GGRRRRR. AND LOOK, I TOOK A PICTURE, WHICH TOTALLY PROVES THAT I RECIEVED THE PART THIS WAY, AND TOTALLY COULD NOT AT ALL MEAN THAT I FUCKED THE PART UP AND THEN TOOK A PICTURE OF IT BECAUSE THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE!'

Ugh.

OP, ever gonna give us an update? Oh, I forgot, you can't :thumbsup:.

For some reason, I gotta feeling the OP is going to create another account and come back to the forums.

Newegg's service has been going down the shitter for quite some time now. Not everyone has a shitty experience but you can really get a feel for a company by how they handle issues like this. I've never had to return anything to newegg before but I had a bad experience with their customer service few months back regarding an order and I've written them off since.
They could really learn something about customer service from Amazon.

Pages and pages of people getting butthurt because they damaged their new parts with their incompetent dickfingers and the vendor wouldn't take the blame.

Yep, this is why I would not buy anything used off the FS/FT forum ever again. By anything I obviously mean used PC parts.

As for Newegg, I haven't had any problems with them but their prices have gotten pretty ridiculous over the last several years.

I've been dealing with them for almost ten years, and I've never had a bad experience. I just bought a refurbed Asus desktop for another linux machine, and a Samsung SSD within the last week. Great pricing and service on both items. I've bought cpus, motherboards, cases, gpus, heat sinks, psus, ram, televisions, routers, keyboards, mice, the whole nine yards. I imagine most atot "bros" have similarly significant experience with Newegg, so they can draw their own conclusions. Good company. Idiot OP. That's about it.
