**$£$%@? Parcelfarce!

Courier (think it was ParcelFarce), upon finding me not home, hoyed my parcel (Fallout 3 Collector's Ed.) over the gate at the side of my house into the very obviously unused and overgrown path where it sat outside and exposed to the elements for a MONTH. No card was left. It was absolutely soaking when I spotted it, managed to dry it out but some parts like the art book were almost ruined.

Laptop sent back to Dell in Ireland, the courier arrives with a box to put it in, tech guy phoned and asked what the fault was, told him graphics card had blown, he said the screen was smashed too!

Needless to say I was bricking it when I bought my Macbook off eBay, but the guy put so much packaging around it it arrived in pristine condition.

You need to mail yourself some Nitroglycerine. That will teach them to take the P out a fragile label.
