    Product not sealed, is it meant to be?

    Hi,

    I ordered two products the other day some RAM which was all sealed up and a motherboard, a Gigabyte ITX, the motheboard packaging wasn't sealed or anything and the lid wasn't closed properly, presumably because all the box content dont seem to fit inside properly. Is this meant to be sealed? or just dodgy packaging from the factory?

    looney,

    Most Gigabyte and Asus motherboard boxes do not come factory sealed, were the internal cables and accessories all sealed?

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for the quick reply Mick, that is reassuring to hear, the internal packaging were sealed.

    Shame GIGABYTE's packaging is poor though, the box is too small to fit everything in.
