I have a G05-802 that needed a new HV diode. Arcade Shop delivered.


A++++++ packaging.

How big is the part or is that the entire monitor? If it's just the part then that looks like a lot of waste. :confused:

As long as they charged you $7 or less for shipping, good for them.

Anything over $7 and they are either crooks, or incompetent.
 
It's a joke

Ok so I'll let this out of the bag. I also ordered a new bezel for Asteroids from them, so that's why I got the big box o' foam peanuts. The diode was in an antistatic bag taped to the invoice so it was easy to find.

But I thought the idea of this was funny because if I bought it off of Amazon it would be a true story. :D
 
Amazon is pretty bad, but WB Mason is completely ridiculous. I got a box of pens (just larger than a pack of smokes... only a 10 pack...) in a box that size. No lie. Like 3 tiny air pillows in there just in case, no peanuts, it was comical. To be fair they do use their own trucks for most of their deliveries. But still... save a tree there WB!

No kidding. I ordered a wireless Mouse and Keyboard and this is how it was shipped...

Almost no padding, just the little box inside the giant box with a little bit of brown paper.
