Packages get damaged?

[Apothem]

Order 2 boxes, both filled with everything needed for my new build and they are arriving on monday, but i think theres a good chance of rain, any chance of them getting wet or something !>!?!?!?!

Well since you have now asked that be careful of bad juju :P

I'm sure the place you bought them from will have packaged them properly, it's in their best interest because if they arrive DOA then they have to pay for them.

 

I'm sure you'll be fine mate :)

dont forget... most companies to boxception so it wont just be a box... it will be a box, in a box in another box in another box and then some anti static packaging and then the hardware :|

[JordanMac]

doubt it, the courier will have delivered parcels in the rain many times, as long as you dont get some idiot leaving it on your door step in the rain

[extremescouter]

Shouldn't be. The components always come in multiple boxes, so even if the outside one gets wet, all of your hardware should be just fine.

I think ill leave an umbrella and a trash bag out on the step and leave a note telling them to place the boxes in the bag and then under the umbrella.

 

You think they would do this?

Well there you go, I have never ordered from them but I have to think they know what they are doing :)

that or a thief will try and become Merry Poppins and fly away, then get depressed and kill them self with the bag :|

In AUS our biggest retailer wraps all the packages in sticky black plastic (like epic industrial glad wrap) which would practically stand up to scuba diving let alone rain.

 

You'll be fine.

 

They'll probably do SOME of what you ask, I'd just leave it to them though, they're probably better at protecting parcels from rain than you'll be able to dream up.

someone courier left a parcel with an i5 and a gtx 670 in it on the door step while i was at work lol. lucky it wasn't stolen tbh. but seriously you really shouldn't worry about it, in the slightest chance of it being damaged on its way to you the courier or online retailer will have to compensate you.

[Blade of Grass]

It should be fine, but you should always get insurance.

[t0wer]

as someone who loads semi trailers.

 

there is a chance of them getting wet, dropped, smashed, and kicked.

 

that being said, I got my 30" ips shipped not so properly and it arrived safely.

Even if most of the parts get wet, it'll be fine once they dry out.
