Mine too.

Mine arrived today. Packaging seems very poor. The box is badly dented and the board appears to be slightly curved!

Hard to get a good picture of the board and it does appear to boot ok but might want to consider better packaging for the next batch.

Sorry to know on the shipping condition. If the board is damage, we will compensate with another new board. There are several suggestions on this thread and we already take notes to improve. However, we have compared our shipping material with others such like Raspberry Pi and CHIP, and believed we have provide more protection than them.

I've got the board booting into linux ok (using the image from https://github.com/apritzel/pine64) so it isn't dead but there is a visible rise of several mm from one end of the board to the other which doesn't look right.



The support form at http://www.pine64.com/support isn't working:

'Failed to send your ticket. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.'

I regret that the board is in this state ... Prompt please, on the front and the back sidethere are any traces of mechanical action?

Got mine this afternoon. Mine is more or less in the same shape as @ppiixx. Board is bent, box was damaged in transit. Mine is booting Android, but it repeatedly crashes even with a 2.1A/5v power supply (short cable) and Sandisk 16GB. Tried burning the SD image multiple times with PhoenixCard. I'm fairly dissatisfied/not impressed so far..

Apply for a new one, you are on your right. I'll totally do it if after 1 month delay if I receive a damaged box or bended board.

if only the box, it does not matter

The real thing comes when the own board is bended as you see.

is not wrong...

Good afternoon, prompt, whether there is on Board (along the curve) traces of mechanical influence (for example behind a protective coating from the Board and so on)? I just want to understand how such a curve can be obtained during transportation are not seriously damaging the outer layer of the Board. I have a serious suspicion that the problem is not in the service delivery and in the plant. You can take foto of the board (front and rear side) and post the photos?

Doesn't look promising...
