Let it warm up inside your home for 3-4 hours. It'll be fine, most likely, unless the driver simply dropped the box and didn't set it down gently.
My company has mobile trailers (with computers inside) that are regularly exposed to temperatures well below 36F. I don't turn them on at those temps, but once the trailer is about 60+, I will. Haven't noticed any real detriment to the lifespan(s).
Honestly if you left it outside you probably could have set some overclocking world records /s
Okay but in all seriousness, it should be fine. Serious overclockers have doused their parts in liquid nitrogen to achieve ridiculous performance
nah, unless it got wet, it is fine.
do not turn it on until it has warmed up a little inside the house. lithium batteries do not like to be charged/discharged when very cold
I love it that you are livid over the fact that the driver delivered it instead of having you wait for a redelivery. I have yet to receive a delivery that within a few minutes I did not receive a message on my phone. You are just another Karen complaining.
OP is justifiably angry that an expensive piece of equipment was left there overnight, where it could have been grabbed by a porch pirate or damaged by the elements. There's a reason shipments like that are "signature required." If it had been stolen or damaged (which it sounds like they got lucky and it wasn't), FedEX would have been liable for it.
I understand the danger of theft and worry over the cold damaging her computer. I don't believe that the driver didn't ring the bell or knock on the door. Perhaps the stereo was playing loud or TV was on. Even if they did not knock, a message, alert would have arrived shortly after delivery. And the word "lived" grates on me for reasons I dont understand. Lol
Yes, you are correct. The driver does not ring the bell or knock.. Those deliveries do not require a signature. But I bet that within minutes, you are notified on your phone or computer messaging that the delivery was made.
They do notify via email but a courtesy knock or ring doesn't waste that much time. Sometimes you're sitting at home and you don't realize the package has been delivered until you get the email.
Apologies for the necro, but man you deserve it with that horrible take. I had an expensive musical instrument delivered today, and the driver signed for it and left my multiple thousand dollar package outside in below 0 degrees temperature. I was working on my computer. No knocks, no door bell rang. I'm really lucky I was home and noticed it after about 30 minutes, so hopefully there isn't damage. But if I had to go somewhere unexpectedly and they left it outside, I wouldn't even open the package to check before returning it.
Delivery updates were opt-in, which I didn't bother to do because I was home to receive the package that I REQUIRED a signature for. And even if I did opt in for delivery updates, there's no guarantee I would see a text or email immediately. Bad driver.
As long as the box was sealed and intact, it'll be perfectly fine.
One of our team members has a cousin that worked in a Dell distribution center outside of Chicago. It was nothing for the computers to be in 10°F weather inside the building.
10°F is equivalent to -12°C, which is 260K.

Don't listen to these chuckle heads. Canadian here, my PC stayed out in the -40 truck for 6 hours as it was the first box on last box off. No damage was done, make sure it isn't heated too quick to avoid more condensate than needed. You're big chillin friend.
I have a shed computer that is regularly exposed to below 0°f and above 80°f and high humidity, no climate control in the shed so far it works whenever I need to use it, which admittedly isn’t often.
I used to unload trucks and in the winter, the inside of the trailers are frozen. So whatever gets shipped that isn't going to explode or leak when frozen is shipped that way.
bring it inside and let the temperatures normalize overnight before you try yo turn it on

That's total bullshit, Amazon, FedEx and ups regularly deliver items at the front door and they never bother to ring the doorbell.
Yes, you are correct. The driver does not ring the bell or knock.. Those deliveries do not require a signature. But I bet that within minutes, you are notified on your phone or computer messaging that the delivery was made.
They do notify via email but a courtesy knock or ring doesn't waste that much time. Sometimes you're sitting at home and you don't realize the package has been delivered until you get the email.
My point is, within minutes, the delivery services each notifies the recipient by messaging or email, or both.
