Other businesses , too...What is it?Free shipping at newegg for things that ordinarily don't have free shipping.
Thanks! I had another promo subscription once upon a time, but I've always been too lazy to actually hunt down another similar deal. Now I won't have to even think about it for 2 (count 'em, two!) years...
It's there more than you think.The activation email even says: "IT'S LIKE AMAZON PRIME FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE STORES"
Well not really.
Newegg.com is probably the only affiliated store I would ever use it on. Maybe staples.com too.
I tried to buy an SSD from Newegg. It's coming directly from Newegg, not a third-party seller. I don't see any mention of Shoprunner during checkout. The only free shipping option is Eggsaver 4+ days.
Called Newegg and apparently you can only use it for items that say "Shoprunner" on the product page. I checked a few random items and none of them show it.
The rep couldn't tell me how to browse just Shoprunner eligible items or how I can even find a single qualifying item on the site.
Shoprunner says they have no control over which items the site marks as eligible for Shoprunner.
I'm guessing Newegg doesn't really do Shoprunner now that they have Newegg Premiere service. Who knows how many other Shoprunner affiliates on their list don't actually support Shoprunner at all.
Not really the Amazon Prime experience.
Mine presented the option to turn off auto renew as I was registering. I saw it again in the account settings after I signed in.In for 2 years. Set myself an email reminder for a week before 2 years so that I cancel... I don't see anywhere the option to turn OFF the auto renewal deal...
