Qishan Rant

I purchased my copy of skyward sword from qisahn.com, at the recommendation of a junior.  Qisahn prides itself on providing the lowest price or refund on the balance for the first 7 days, so they do have the most competitive prices out there.  As I did not have Wii Remote Plus (needed to play the game), the 25th anniversary bundle which came with a plus controller and the symphony soundtrack was the obvious choice.

Unfortunately, qisahn (who said it was the fault of their packer), did not pack the box properly, leading to the product being delivered less than satisfactory condition.  Anyone who has had stuff delivered would know that boxed merchandise typically comes with bubble wrap, or sometimes even additional box to ensure the box doesnt get dented.  I may not be a collector, so a small fold or crease is tolerable for me.  However, the box's corners were pressed in, each side had noticeable creases.  This was mainly caused to the packing (or lack thereof).  Instead of properly ensuring the whole box was wrapped, they used a soft foam slightly thicker than paper, to wrap the bottom half of the box.

Qisahn initially gave me the standard bull shit of blaming the delivery man, but was surprised to hear that the packing was done so haphazardly.  Despite being unable to exchange as they did not have a "spare box" (hello, just exchange the whole damn product).  They offered me $6 credit, which means I could get another product delivered with courier services.  I was keen enough to start playing to not press the matter further.

So all in all a bad experience with Qisahn.  I don't know if I'm even going to buy another product.  So anyone who wants the credit from me feel free to ask :)
