Approximately how long will it be before a refund/credit actually appears on my credit/debit card?
It takes us approximately two business days to process a credit back to your credit card and 2-3 business days for it to appear on your statement. After Newegg.com issues the credit, the rest of the process is out of our ability to speed up. At this point merchant services and your Bank determine how long before the credit posts in your account. This is normally 2-3 business days.
This is the exact process in reverse order as when any merchant charges your card. The customer will think there is an immediate withdrawal of the funds, but it is really only an authorized hold. Once merchant services and the merchants bank has processed the charge then the funds will appear in the merchants account. Again, the same time frame applies to the merchant.
