So I pre-ordered the new 27 inch Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED and it arrived today pretty much destroyed on arrival; this was honestly the worst packaging job I’ve ever seen done for a high-end electronic device; there was basically NO foam or protective packaging between the monitor’s face and the cardboard. Samsung blames it on UPS, but honestly with the little protection they offered its not surprising at all. I just can’t believe how little packaging there was and that the monitor’s face was facing outward, not inward. Samsung is refunding me the monitor and gave me a $50 discount on the replacement, but like $5-$10 of foam or bubble wrap would have saved them a lot more…

surprised it actually got damaged. normally the packaging is good enough even with a huge gouge in the box the product is fine.

At this point, with all of my online ordering (and the amount of orders in general), my outdoor camera is my coverage for an inconsiderate driver and my self recorded video of unboxing is my protection when it becomes mine.
This all sounds tedious and unnecessary work, but it’s actually saved me thousands of dollars at this point considering the things ordered when putting in claims. I don’t trust businesses anymore sadly.

Hope you love in EU where we have laws and can send that back without an issue. Rip if us

There are some things I just could not bring myself to get delivered.

I try to do pick-ups with things like this. The delivery guys just see it as a challenge to see how much they can throw things around without looking like they broke it. One package from UPS came delivered like it had been run over by a fork lift, sides burst open and fragments poring out.
Sorry for the headache. I understand the letdown.

it might be ok lol. you’d be amazed at what these bastards are subjected to

This is exactly why me and the wife give the delivery guy snacks and praises whenever we see him. He treats our stuff like it’s his.

And you signed for it?

This is why i do not buy fragile items online, go buy it at the store so you can easily return it if it’s fucked

Who delivered it? FedEx? They can’t even be bothered to come to my door for a signature delivery. So this makes sense they’d manhandle a box that clearly says what kind of product it is.

are you from the usa?

wow. the accident it had to go through for that level of damage is completely not ignorable. trucks arent big enough for it to fall far enough to generate that damage. they literally dropped that off the top shelf in a warehouse directly onto the corner of something and just said fuck it send it anyways.

That’s why I get things from a physical location. Can easily see dents and dings before you buy.

This is a bummer of the highest order, hope they do right by you, OP >,<;;;

All that engineering and manufacturing just for a delivery guy to fuck it all up on account on having a bad day

I really feel that most people have no idea how chaotic the delivery of an item is.

Hold on, they’re shipping already? Really jealous.

Try a pixel refresh. If it doesn’t work, try rubbing softly with cotton and distilled water. Don’t use alcohol or you might damage your screen.
If any of these works, try turning off and on.
PD: good luck with rma process, hope you got your new monitor soon!
