How durable/hardy is the Asus z170 a?
I was delivered a package containing my motherboard, and both the outside box and the inside one - containing the motherboard - was damaged! :eek: The box itself came layered in protection, so I'm wondering what happened/ how hard the impact must have been to still cause damage to the box :undecided
(May I add that the courier was Yodel? :surprised:)
I'm in touch with the seller's customer service, and they are offering a replacement/refund/wait till I can test it out... But realistically, if there was some damage, how long would it be till it manifested? Should I just return it now and get my refund, and then buy it from Scan which uses a better delivery service?
They want a response pretty sharpish, so any advice would be much appreciated :):mrgreen:

Update: Well, I made the decision to send the motherboard back. I've had some bad experiences with Yodel, and my being a first time builder as well means that I'm a bit nervy/jittery about damaged components :mrgreen:
This time, I'm going to play it safe! :rockon:

I'd send it straight back if it looks battered enough to have had an impact on the board. Why risk other components at this stage ?

I mean, to the seller's credit they did bulk the box it came in pretty well, so the board should have been protected.
It was just one corner that looked a bit duffed up, and I thought "If it managed to get a bit banged up with all this protection, how the heck were they treating this package?!" Plus… it's Yodel, so anxiety got the best of me :crazy: :)
It's definitely not worth me stressing over it, so I'll just be getting it off Scan now :mrgreen:
