I purchased an Intel 6800K processor "sold by and shipped from Amazon"

[IIanJ]

I purchased an Intel 6800K processor "sold by and shipped from Amazon". It arrived in an Amazon cardboard box. Inside was a thin Amazon envelop containing the 6800K wrapped in a pice of regular bubble wrap. There was no Intel box or antistatic slip or any Intel paperwork or any Amazon paperwork.

I returned the product and Amazon siad that they would send another. However they could not guarantee that the replacement would be packed any other way than the first.

I paid £417 for this processor which I beleive is the retail cost of a new processor and should have been delivered in an Intel box.

I would be grateful if someone would comment on this soon as I expect the replacement to arrive today.

Hi Beemer,

Our retail processors come on sealed boxes only. In the case of the High End Processors such as i7-6800K, comes alone without the heatsink and fan.

I am sending you an example from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-6800K-Processor-FC-LGA14A-BX80671I76800K/dp/B01FJLA8NI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470692734&sr=8-1&keywords=intel+i7-6800k https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-6800K-Processor-FC-LGA14A-BX80671I76800K/dp/B01FJLA8NI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470692734&sr=8-1&keywords=intel+i7-6800k

I suggest you to contact Amazon and request a replacement or refund.

Regards,
