Ordered a cheapish 1tb Kingston m.2 SSD on amazon. Delayed twice because of prime day and then crowdstrike.
It finally arrived today and it looks like the inner packaging (not the padded amazon mailer, the kingston-branded cardboard-and-plastic thing) got run over by a truck repeatedly. The plastic around the drive is dented and scratched to shit and the cardboard is bent in 4 different places. Seriously, it looks like someone picked it up off of the warehouse floor after a forklift went over it.
This is, to put it lightly, very annoying. I'm already getting the parts for this build a week later than originally advertised thanks to prime day and crowdstrike, and now I will probably have to wait another week for a new SSD.
I'm still waiting on several other parts and I'm debating whether to wait for them to arrive to test, or to take apart one of my laptops with an m.2 slot tonight just to make sure the darn thing is at least recognized by the bios.
Edit: bit the bullet and tested it in a project laptop, and it was at least recognized by the bios. Will have to wait for the rest of the parts to test for further problems.

Three times in a row I ordered carnauba wax from them, which comes in tins like this
and three times in a row the lid popped off during transport, getting wax all over the box. I kept asking for replacements, which were granted, yet they kept sending them the same exact way. I finally gave up on the third one, figuring I have 3 semi-full tins anyway and got my money's worth.![:marseyshrug: :marseyshrug:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyshrug.webp)
