Overview

• Ok-Atmosphere7655 spent €2,950 on an Aorus Master RTX 5090 sold directly by Amazon Netherlands but received a late, damaged and unsealed box shipped from Spain.
• The package contained bags of rice and pasta alongside a dusty Galax KFA2 Pascal GPU likely representing a GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti.
• Amazon asked for photographic evidence and the Reddit user has returned the package via tracked courier, though he fears Amazon may not take the issue seriously.
• EU buyer protection rules could secure a full refund or replacement, but he remains anxious about Amazon’s handling of the claim.
• A recent Micro Center incident in which sealed Zotac boxes held only backpacks highlights broader risks in purchasing high-end hardware online.
