Ho costruito il mio PC da sogno da un po ‘di tempo, facendo cadere circa € 4000 sull’intera configurazione. Uno dei componenti chiave era ovviamente l’Asus Tuf RTX 5080, che ho ordinato da Verkkokauppa per € 1529.
Oggi sono finalmente arrivato alla parte della build in cui installo la GPU. Apro la scatola sigillata e all’interno non è … non un RTX 5080.
Invece, trovo un gigabyte A4000, un dispositivo di raffreddamento a doppia vento e pesi di metallo letterale nella scatola.
L’ho riportato direttamente a Verkkokauppa e ora stanno “indagando”, che fosse il loro errore o no. Quindi al momento sono fuori una GPU e in calo di € 1500.
La scatola era sigillata e sembrava completamente legittima. Questo è venuto direttamente da loro – non ho scherzato con nulla.
Qualcun altro ha sperimentato qualcosa di simile? E come mi proteggo dall’essere incolpato per qualcosa che chiaramente non ho fatto?

Contact verkkokauppa, someone purchased the original 5080 and changed the insides to A4000
Verkkokauppa will support you on this no worries
1500€ for a 5080 is ridiculous.
Back in the days this was a common scam people pulled (or tried to pull off) with Gigantti as they had pretty relaxed return policy. Order something, take it out of the box, replace with something else and return it. I was working there 15 (ish) years ago and we got such returns couple of times per month. Occasionally somebody didnt pay attention to what was returned and they were circulated back to store and ”unopened” items were sold as new and opened as used (or whatever the outlet was called back then, I cant recall)
I would suspect someone have managed to pull this off with verkkokauppa.com and as the package looked unopened, it was sold as a new. You just got unlucky.
It must be a return where the customer very skillfully opened the box without breaking the seal. In that case Verkkokauppa should have some idea who returned it and be able to tell that it was in fact a return and should refund you.
