Postage and packaging

[Craig 6707]

Dell take the piss - I ordered a RAM chip for a laptop the other day and the quote provided included a P&P charge of £7.50. As it was a business order I didn't give it much thought until today when the parcel turned up. See for yourself:

 

1.

 

2.

 

3.

 

4.

 

How fucking gratuitous?? Anyone got any similar examples?

that's fucking ridiculous..

 

 

..where's the proper bubble wrap?!

That looks like desktop memory tbh. How big is your laptop?

The orders for my work are ridiculous as well. We'll order 5 binders and we'll get a box just right for five binders which will have four in it and then a geet big box with room for 20 binders with one in it.

Nope it's laptop memory for a Latitude C610

EDIT (the packaging for the memory by the way)

There's a bit of a theme if you look at the outer box which is kind of my point!

I sent an arcade control panel to Denmark yesterday. About the same size as a PC keyboard but slightly heavier.

 

Twenty Six Fucking QUID!!!!!! Thats £26, for bog standard snail mail.

Dabs the robbing bastards charge an extra £20 to post to N.Ireland which means any savings that may be had are wiped out.

[Craig 6707]

well overkill on the P&P or not, I now have 4 times the memory I had previously and it's running like a dream.

 

I'm almost glad the old chip blew up!
