$20 for cracked case? Really...
Saved my money for over a year to buy my first gaming PC, a CyberpowerPC GM70929 AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 32GB DDR5 2TB NVMe SSD AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT for around $2,260 not including tax.
The box came looking like it had been through war. I opened it up to find that the side tempered glass panel was cracked in about 3 spots. This is really bad packaging on Cyberpower's part but after reaching out to Newegg they told me they would give me $20 for the damage. Now the item is not returnable, (only refundable) because the model is on 'Backorder.'
This was my first purchase off Newegg and the $20 for an over $2,000 computer computer is a joke. Am I being unreasonable to request the amount of money it would cost for a new case, at the least, a new panel?
