A customer on Newegg recently a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 through the retail outlet but instead of getting a graphics card, he got weights.<\/p>\n

Newegg Customer Finds His Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 Box Is Filled With Weights & Not A Graphics Card<\/h2>\n

The Redditor who goes by the username, u\/NuclearInnardsBeep, recently bought a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card at Newegg. Upon getting the package shipped to him, the user found out that instead of a graphics card, the box had two sets of weights to fake the customers into thinking that there was an actual product inside. What makes this worse is that instead of responding back to their customer, the user account seems to have been locked out.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time that we are hearing of such a scam. We have seen some customers buying new graphics cards and ending up with either different graphics cards or even products and items that don’t even represent an actual graphics card such as Sand.<\/p>\n

We are in contact with @Newegg<\/a> pertaining to the latest controversy and are investigating now. Likely will update in next HW News if we have one. We hope the user sees we want to buy the weights off of them for the video. Context: https:\/\/t.co\/4jckEePxpu<\/p>\n

The fact that this happened several months after Newegg apologized to their customers for such issues and promised to “Providing the best customer experience<\/a>” shows that there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done at Newegg in examining the products and making sure that customers get the product in pristine condition.<\/p>\n
