Shipping from Germany has been near impossible for years now. I usually have to enlist help from my EU friends.

Only the 3rd time I've ordered from Germany, this block, an Athlon XP and two AMD water blocks that I thought were coming from Canada. The XP about 10 days and the blocks were at my door in four days (air mail which I didn't pay for), couple years ago on the latter two.

Looked at it with a magnifier not even any scratches where it worked it's way through both boxes and checked it with a straight edge, although the plastic bag it was in was in bad shape.

If so that would explain it. I never have trouble shipping from Germany done it quite a few times.

They didn't put anything in the smaller box but there was a good amount of packing material used in the larger box.

I usually stay away from Germany as their shipping cost are so outrageous, bought this as it was new old stock and selling price and shipping was cheaper than new price plus it was the only one I could find when I was looking.

austin86: Same here in Ohio, not common but it happens, early this week we had ice rain 😮 Oct 17, 2024 8:10:10 GMT -5 *

zila1: Sometimes we have snow on the ground by Halloween. Let's see what happens this year. I only stepped outside twice today. It's just so nice and cozy in the house. Oct 16, 2024 18:11:07 GMT -5

austin86: car was iced over this morning here in ohio too. we be in winter again Oct 16, 2024 8:15:33 GMT -5

zila1: ShrimpBrime: My crawl space is heated too. My basement is heated real nice too. It's warm and cozy down there. I work out during the winter months down there. Oct 16, 2024 0:08:23 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Yep, should snap the trees into dropping the leaves now. Summer to winter in just a week. Gotta love Chicago land!

My crawl space is heated. Cause if not, cold toes all winter on the main level

zila1: I just got a freeze warning for tonight on my pc and my cell phone. I'm gonna go out and drain the outdoor faucets and put freeze covers on them. I like that little added protection. Neighbor down the street forgot last year and his pipes burst. Ugh. Oct 15, 2024 10:59:32 GMT -5

zila1: I have Peripheral neuropathy and can't take the cold weather very well so I try to prepare my house for it as best I can. Hence all of the stepped up maintenance at this time of year. Oct 14, 2024 12:22:17 GMT -5

zila1: I do this every year in hopes of coasting thru the winter with as little problems as possible. I also have a whole house back-up generator to maintain. 24KW Generac. I love that thing. Easily powers the whole house during an outage. Ice storms can suck. Oct 14, 2024 12:19:23 GMT -5
