Recently I ordered an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X for a new build for a colleague. Sadly the CPU was just sticky-taped on the cardboard of another component with the pins downwards… that’s not how it shoud be 🙂
Contacted the online shop and sent them this pictures as proof and they sent me a replacement immediately – sadly it was packed almost the same as before, just with some additional bubble foil this time 🙂
…they actually never reclaimed the old CPU, well what could they do with it other than throw it away? AMD probably wouldn’t give warranty to a “sticky-taped” and thrown in a non ESD bag CPU…
So however, I just gave it a try and bent the pins back with a scalpel – well, I ended up with a working spare CPU. 😀
