Much like the other review in this list detailing the like, this GPU is great. Awesome, even. It's powerful, quiet, no heating issues. Perfect for 1080p gaming and probably even some 1440p.
However, this Amazon/USPS experience has been a negative one.
So, the USPS side: The package I received was a clear plastic bag (wut?) containing the normal shipping box. The box was noticeably damp. Like someone had left it out in the rain. Where I am, it hadn't rained at all between placing the order and receiving it, so it had to have been caught out in the rain sometime during transit. When I open the damp box, to my horror, I see a lot of condensation and water droplets right on the box of the GPU. I remove the outer sleeve and I see the water has seeped into the interior. By some miracle, no moisture got into the anti-static bag containing the GPU. It works. Runs perfectly fine, but there was a hell of a lot of potential to receive a $460 paper weight.
Now, the promotional code from Amazon: A day later I receive the email containing the promotional code for Wolfenstein/Control. I follow the directions and go to Geforce Experience to redeem it, and wouldn't ya know it, I get an error stating the code has already been redeemed.
Honestly, I'm happy that I have my card and it works, but the dumb little headaches like this are the reason I might just start ordering my expensive electronics from another source. Hell, maybe I'll even start driving 4 hours to the nearest Microcenter. That's better than receiving a box that looks like its been through a monsoon. Amazon and USPS are just getting careless.
UPDATE: I made contact with Amazon support and they provided me with a new promotional code for the games I was supposed to get. The code worked. Thank you to June and Harika for your help!
