Recently purchased the Acer Predator Helios 300 G3-571 off of Amazon. It was delivered on Saturday the 2nd.

 

The laptop is missing the drive caddy and cable for the 2nd HDD. They did kindly include the 4 screws in the power supply box.

 

Really need to add in my 500GB SSD steam drive. Would like to get this issue resolved ASAP.

 

Thanks,

Ken

You'll need an additional 4 screws above the 4 you have, so make sure to mention that in your inquiry

    Hi all,

     

    If your location is in another region than US or Canada, would need to contact your local technical support to inquire about ordering these parts in your country. If an physical address in the US or Canada can be provided, we will ship the parts to that address and they would then be responsible for mailing the parts to your current location, at your expense.  

     

    Note: Unfortunately we do not deliver packages to freight forwarder's addresses.

     

    We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

    Hello
    I have the same problem, but when I contacted my local Acer Support from Romania, they wanted to charge me extra for the Caddy, cable and screws. Am I supposed to pay for them ? They should have been included in the laptop purchase already. 
    Should I get them for free or do I have to pay for them ?
    Thank you

    I have the same problem, but when I contacted my local Acer Support from Malaysia, they tell me to deal with the Amazon dealer. What? What should I DO? Isn't the caddy and cable should have been included in the laptop purchase already.?
    Should I get them for free or do I have to pay for them ? Because I did pay lot of money for shipment and import fee. 
    Thank you!

    Hey there, I'm also from Malaysia and will probably buy one from Amazon too. May I know if you have any progress regarding the upgrades? Since I might need them also.
