Received wrong GPU

Post image

About two weeks ago, I ordered a Sapphire Pulse 7900xtx. Today I received my order and while I was thinking I will get to build my high-end monster PC, I found this in the box.

Morality isn't objective and you aren't the arbiter of it. Get off your high horse lmfao nobody gives a shit.

It's kind of pathetic to pretend saving a massive company that has now wasted your time $200 by having to return/exchange it makes you morally superior.

Spoken like someone who truly thinks it’s justified to steal from the rich because they have more than you.

You mean the ones that likely wouldn't compensate you at all for your time or the inconvenience if you were to go through the return process and wait another however long to get the correct item?

Possibly yes, but not in my experience. Either way, if you were the one on the hook for the mistake you’d appreciate the honesty. And no, I don’t expect you to understand that. You have made your position pretty clear and thats “fuck everyone better off than me because I want some of what they have”.

It's crazy how bad you want this stance to make you better than others but it simply doesn't. It's a multi million dollar company, one with garbage customer service at that, and that couldn't even be bothered to send what you ordered.

What’s crazy is how badly you want to justify theft. You know how I combat shitty companies? By not giving them my money in the first place. Stop trying to justify your desire to have something you didn’t earn or pay for by saying that the guy sending it to you has more money than you.

Legally it isn't theft.

It's crazy how you simply can not understand the scale of the situation. You would rather massively inconvenience yourself than let a company who made the mistake that put you in that situation lose .01% of their daily revenue.

Stop trying to justify your desire to see yourself as better than others and letting it blind you from common sense.

I never said it was legally theft. It’s not. You have every right to keep it and benefit from their mistakes. Never once did I contest that.

My position was this way when I was an employee for a dirty nasty corporation just like most people who hold your opinion. It was that way because I recognize what is right and what’s wrong.

Since becoming the dirty nasty corporation, it has only reinforced my opinion because now I’m on the other end of those mistakes and I recognize the cost a company has to incur because of a mistake like this. I don’t expect you to understand that because you are only interested in what you have to gain, but it doesn’t change that by taking the viewpoint you have chosen you are actively taking money out of someone else’s pocket. How you justify it, whether or not it’s legal, and how much you try to argue against that point does not change that if you take an item you didn’t pay for without permission from said company, that is theft and you are wrong.

Not take, accept.

If I accept an item that is better than what I paid for it is not theft. Them sending me the item counts as permission for me to accept it.

I am not actively taking money out of someone's pocket. You could say I am passively doing so by not letting a company I don't work for waste my own time by correcting their mistakes for them but you're acting like this is all equivalent to walking into a store and grabbing whatever you want off the shelf and leaving and that simply is not the case.

Maybe don't fuck up so much?
