I payed a shit tone extra for them to pack it with bubble wrap and put anti static material in it. Instead they just put this inflatable wrap in it that clearly did not work as it was supposed to and there’s no anti static anything in here. Any advice on where to go from here?
Ram is fine, cpu might be dead, mobo somehow alive but some ports are damaged, Gpu was in a separate box (thank god) AIO is fucked, hard drives and wifi connector seem to be fine.

least damaged ups package jokes aside you need to file a claim and call them ASAP tell them how shitty the item was packaged and ask for a refund
Jesus Christ, it looks like it was in a flood
Step one would be to find the receipt for the shipment, step two would be to see how much insurance you paid for, step three would be to file a claim for that insurance, and step four would be to firmly tell your future self not to let someone paid about minimum wage be responsible for packaging anything that you care about, particularly if it’s enormous, expensive, partially made of glass and full of empty space.
I thought it caught fire
DO NOT forgive and forget with this one. The person’s job was to pack it, so it didn’t break. They failed miserably, and you should be compensated for your loss
Why did you have UPS package your PC in the first place ?
Hope you got insurance. Because otherwise you’re up shit creek without a paddle.
Packing peanuts on the inside of the machine and outside saved mine from going from Minnesota to New York.
Everyone let’s take a moment of silence for this pc. Lost in the Great UPS Packing Wars of 23
Use corporate espionage to destroy UPS.
Next time use fedex?
they didnt pack it correctly
file a claim
Why didn’t you pack it your self? Boxes get banged and dropped on conveyors, loaded into a semi truck, you have hundreds of pounds of stuff on top, then unloaded. Conveyors again, then onto a package car, and then delivery guy delivers it. Unless you actually use bubble wrap and foam nothings gonna survive being shipped.
On top of the obvious packing negligence, I’m not sure what sort of packaging would have protected that PC as it was fired from a canon to your doorstep.
1. God I hope you insured your package.
2. I’ve gotten into the habit of shipping PCs now that I’m selling them more frequently and the only time I had a PC arrive damaged was when it wasn’t in a 2nd box. Just a future thought for reference if you ever need to move again, double box your PC or put it inside the car with you, seatbelted in for good measure.
Get it returned and swapped out but remember to gut it before you send it off
Make them give a full pc refund, including the parts that aren’t damaged or take this shit to court (or be a nice person and just get a refund for the broken parts). But do not forgive this
Omg What a disaster! Open the gates of hell for them now!!!
If you didn’t get insurance you need your head examined. Shipping is ALWAYS a risk. I e been in transportation for near 3 decades and my friend shit happens. Hard potholes while riding in the truck, dock workers who don’t give a fuck, Acts of God whichever you prefer, accidents, disgruntled final delivery people. As a person who’s been in all those situations as a job I insure ANYTHING more than $100.
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
Destroy them back
