How i received an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (bent pins for 2nd time from this shop). They claim they have shipped 100s of CPUs like that without issues and even tried (but failed) to get out of refunding me

May I ask how much cheaper (rn $120 brand new) is this shop selling it? Because 2-3 years of warranty plus an actual box with a reliable shipping and no bent pins might worth the difference, just saying 😛
edit: Since I now see that you are greek (γεια), if you are still within Greece, they sell on EVERY skroutz store the ryzen 5600 (which is like 5% slower than the X, but has a cooler with it) for 102eur (tax incl) which is like an all-time low price…. It cant get better for a brand new CPU, given our market’s shitty overall pricing…

Good lord, decent packaging for fragile items is worth not having to deal with the return cost alone. It’s not hard to pack things properly. Hate it when shops do this!

All they had to do was to go and fold the foam around the cpu and tape it well for it to not even be a problem. This is like, so close yet so far.

100s?
LOL that’s minuscule.

Stop buying things from this “shop”.
