DEAD: Free shipping at Newegg when paying with Paypal (ended 12/19/06

[amdskip]

The paypal checkout sucks and it's not worth this. My lcd hasn't shipped because of this lame confirmed address. I thought I had my bill to address setup to my confirmed paypal address but maybe not. Google checkout > Paypal checkout, come on Newegg, please get this right

I am not a fan of Paypal either, but I believe it is a Newegg policy to only ship to credit card billing address (if you want to ship elsewhere, you have to call your credit card company first and add the alternate address).

Nope, I have them ship to my work address all the time with no issues at all.

Received a voided order, "Confirmed paypal shipping address does not match the shipping address". I confirmed it matches to the letter, even upper and lower case characters, so I have a feeling there's an issue with the checkout system.

The odd part was I succesfully completed a paypal order through newegg 2 weeks ago with no issue. I purchased another item after the confirmed address does not match message/order voided with no changes and it went through.
To top it off I placed that new order using paypal sunday and it has yet to be shipped. I placed an order this morning using a CC and it's packed and ready to go.
So from this small sample the paypal ordering process is not reliable and will delay shipment. Paying by CC is the most reliable and quickest shipping method.

Thank you all for the support and for choosing Newegg!

Paying by CC was not the fastest way. I had no problems with SIX, count them SIX, separate orders.

I'd keep forgetting I needed something obscure like a 92mm fan filter or a high flow 120mm fan or even some thumbscrews. At least two or three of those orders were for <$10 shipped and I got every one of them with typical Newegg ninjaish quickness and stealth

Darn. I was considering another order or two (mobo/CPU combo and a video card). Ahh well, I already have too many untested mobo/CPUs around here mostly from Newegg, including...

DFI LANPARTY Expert s939 (should arrive today)
Biostar Tforce6100-939 (should arrive tomorrow)
Abit NF-M2 Nview AM2
Sempron 2800+ AM2
A64 4000+ (should arrive tomorrow)
FX-55 (should arrive today)
FX-55 (second one that I have to fix bent pins)
A64 3400+ (just paid today, used CPU)

OMG what am I gonna do with all these?!?!? 😱 I was hoping to get free shipping on more motherboard too, to have as many as I have CPUs.
