Will it still plug into a slot? I'll test it out and see if it works, lol.

I'm curious as to why you even accepted that parcel. I would have told the courier to p**s right off on the doorstep and refused to take it. I don't know how the driver even had the nerve to deliver it...

Looks like someone either dropped a loaded pallet onto it or drove over it with a forklift. I cringe when DHL are handling my orders, something generally goes wrong..

Did DHL get taken over or merge with home delivery network? As that would explain something right there

Those fans look great, and the crushed power sockets. The bits falling off it can be glued back on, I'm sure no-one would notice. The card doesnt look at all bent either. Some neat camera tricks and it will make a fine review.

I thought DHL shut oprations down like 4 years ago

DHL vacated the US. They're still a major carrier for the rest of the world...

Well I used to work for UPS and often we would receive packages from suppliers that were already damaged, they were meant to be returned though instead of shipped on to the customer.

The people I know that work/worked for UPS seem to have stories quite the contrary to what you're saying.... I've even seen their handling of "fragile" packages.... I've watched UPS employees at the local UPS depot throw around boxes very clearly marked "Dell"....and heard the monitors break... Of course, not as bad as FedEx where I've had packages come pre-opened with pieces of general purpose scotch tape holding the remains of the box together....

I've had it before in Australia from our Postal service. Ordered the Canon Wireless Flash Trigger and the outside box was fine, but the inside box was completely squashed along one side. Luckily because the trigger is so small it missed destroying it. But the person had obviously had something heavy fall on it, and squashed the **** out of it. And then pushed the box back into place so it didn't look too bad. But obviously couldn't get and do the same for the Internal box. So you never know until you open these things.

Oh I feel your pain. Had something similar happen to a 7970 that was shipped from SystemMax corp to me, US to CAN, via UPS. It arrived with damage, the case grill was bent, wasn't sure if it would power on after straightening it out. Since you couldn't peer inside if any PCB components were dislodged. Worst of all the order wasn't sign on delivery. It was dropship. I later inspected the PCB since I did a watercooling mod on it, and everything was intact.

I always make the courier wait until I've opened the package and inspect for damage they always get pissy about it but here in NZ it's the law if ask them to wait they have to wait and if they p off while I'm in the middle of opening and inspecting they can loose their job... and the only thing I've ever received damaged to the state of not working was an HDD that had an surface mount resistor knocked off the package had been sent non sig so I found it sitting on my door step when I got up.... Luckily I was able to put my soldering skills to good use and fix it with an scavenged part from a dead drive
