Newegg.com Botchup Sends Several Core i7 'Demo Boxes' to Customers - Page 2

They named D&H Distributing which is a North American company (Canada and USA). That doesn't explain why German would be the native language on them though.

Ah, there are Intel Jobs in Germany: "Intel Germany includes design and development centers, sales and marketing support, and HR."

maybe this company bought a batch of "fakes",or someone stole 300 pieces from their stock, and replaced them with this?

(amd has many fabs here, intel has none

)

But why would Newegg get it from over 3,000 miles away? Newegg/Intel are going to have fun tracking that down. That's for sure.

maybe an employee went to their stocks at night, and replaced them, to sell them for himself?
i bet that will be one of the greater mysteries of the new time

Who knows where along the supply chain these were swapped out.

Newegg just happens to be the one in the spotlight because they were the end of the chain, but really I don't see it as their fault. The boxes look real enough, and if they came from the supplier that way, then it isn't a newegg issue. A common packing worker probably isn't going to spot these fakes vs. the real thing. They are moving so much product out the door, these boxes probably didn't spend more then 10 seconds in human hands at newegg.

As for the BS excuse that these were demo boxes, I don't believe it. However, I don't blaim newegg for that either. They aren't exactly going to say "Yeah, we shipped a bunch of counterfiet product to customers". And for all we know, the demo box story comes from D&H and newegg is just passing it on to the customers.

This comes extremely close to topping the woodscrew fermi

*Edit* According to hardwarecanucks even the box it comes in is fake

)

Anyone here that saying New Egg is a failure is crazy and must not have ever delt with them. They are by far the most honest and straight forward company there is to deal with. If they said it was a mistake it most definitely was no question. They must have been duped and they for sure will make it right. I have noticed most of the people making these comment don't live in the USA or Canada and don't buy from them. I have never ever had them denied a return and 99 percent of the time they pay for the shipping back to them. I cannot think of any company ever that is more honest than they are and I don't defend retailers, and I have hundreds of transactions with them. They have won just about every business customer service award there is so stop with the slamming already.

This was clearly a mix up.

I'm not going to fight with you here and I deleted my post. You just don't know how that company works and people who don't do business with this company should reserve their comments. Thats all I'm going to say here. This company would lose money to keep a customer.

I love newegg but that dosnt change the fact that they are lying about it in an attempt to make it look better then it actually is.

Hyper Treading LOL french is wrong....
Drejahresgarantie German is wrong too
people lern how to write

honestly does this happen more often these days?
i had that ages before with someone who used that here to gain something for the grey market

the cooler design is the same, they used polyurethane foam for diy
it comes out of a pressured bottle and is used for insulation

95Viper · Mar 6, 2010, 06:21 PM

IMO Newegg is not lying. They are just telling you what the vendor told them. It could be a case of their vendor being duped. A lot of orders are not hand shipped, it is, sometimes, an automated process and no one actually sees the item being package (except for the equipment) and not everyone who works in a warehouse knows what is actually in the box... they just ship it. Like, uh, right sku, right address, and matches order... Yep... Gone. Sh*t happens and will probably happen again, if not to Newegg, then some other poor sap.

Newegg is great IMO and they seem to be making it right for the customers. Just remember, they probably ship thousands of packages a week, if not, a day and, usually, all you will hear about is the ones that are fubared.

t77snapshot · Mar 6, 2010, 06:26 PM

I bet there is at least one person out there that tried to install that cpu.

I'll bet there are 5 that tried to install the HSF.

TIGR · Mar 6, 2010, 06:48 PM

"Fpic Eail newegg!," "newegg is fail," "biggest fail in history," some of these comments make me think TPU should start requiring people to verify they are 13 or over at registration.

Guess what, Newegg got taken. It happens. If you think you could run a company that goes through as much product as they do without ever getting some bad apples in there ... you're being naive about the world we live in.

Just because the copy is poor doesn't make it a cover up. Many store displays are fully fake these days, I remember when Vista came out and the local store had "hundreds" of copies on display but only two to sell. A visit to a display home gives some clues as well. These days you can get fake LCD tv, fake microwave, fake leather lounge etc and there are companies who specialise in producing these items.

I'd say it was how Newegg called it, they accidently received display models. The poor quality of the copy is simply because it was done by a stage prop company, rather than Intel.

I'd expect there may be thousands of these in existence, on the assumption that a significant proportion of retailers might want several.

Guess what, Newegg got taken. It happens. If you think you could run a company that goes through as much product as they do without ever getting some bad apples in there ... you're being naive about the world we live in.
