i just made an order last night around 11-12pm PST (1:30 EST.) i ordered 2 items and paid for it via paypal. i noticed that newegg has seperated the order into two but with the same order number. should i be getting 15% cashback from the total or from one single item? i noticed that newegg also changed my paypal twice for the amount of each individual item.

scam?

I live in Maryland and when I order from newegg and they ship from the new jersey warehouse, I always get it overnight!

I love newegg!

Yup, I almost always get mine the next day as well in central NY (30 mi. south of Syracuse). The Egg says it's shipped, but I have no tracking number as yet nor has any package arrived either. Usually the tracking number shows up online before the package arrives, but often I don't receive the email copy of my invoice before the package arrives. This being the "height" (or depth depending on your POV) of the Christmas season, they may be delivering into the evening if the UPS is still working like they used to. The UPS truck on the route for our podunk town often had the trailer on the back for extra stuff this time of year. I haven't seen such so far this year. Perhaps it's a little early yet.

for those of u guys that ordered more than 1 item from newegg on dec 15th (PST), are you supposed to get 15% cashback from the total of both items? or just one of them?

As many orders as you want. You will not get any more than $50 back total though.

Terms indicated only one sales order would qualify (one or more items). People that canceled their first order found they could not get the promotional discount to appear when they tried to checkout with another order.

when i ordered (added both to cart, and paid for total of both items,) it looks like newegg seperated my order into two order numbers and two invoices. the only reason i can think of for doing this is because they only want to give me cashback for one item on dec 15th and not two.. what do u guys think?

my order was for $23.99 (16gb memory card) and 27.99 (ps3 game) total came out to $51.98. this means i should be getting $7.80 back right?

Here are the terms for those who missed them:

Newegg/PayPal 15% deal - T&C

PayPal Promotion Terms & Conditions

Newegg customers are eligible to receive fifteen percent (15%) cash back on certain orders placed on December 15, 2008, subject to the terms set forth on this page.

To be eligible for this cash back offer, your order must be placed on the www.newegg.com website between 12:01 am and 11:59 pm on December 15, 2008 (Pacific Time) and before the funds for this promotion are depleted, whichever occurs first, and you must use PayPal as your payment method. For purposes of this promotion, your order is deemed placed at the moment you complete the checkout process.

For each qualifying order, the cash back amount shall be equal to the lesser of (1) fifteen percent (15%) of the order amount (net of taxes and shipping/handling charges), or (2) US $50.00.

If you place a qualifying order, you shall receive cash back in the form of a credit to your PayPal account within 48 hours from the date you placed your qualifying order. You are limited to one cash back credit (not to exceed $50.00) per PayPal account, regardless of the number of qualifying orders you place.

Please note: Only a limited amount of funds are available for this cash back promotion. If your order is placed after all of these funds have been allocated to other qualified orders, you will not be eligible to receive cash back - even if your order is placed on December 15, 2008.

The decisions of Newegg Inc. shall be binding and final with respect to all matters relating to this promotion, including the determination of which orders are eligible to receive cash back.

If you are otherwise entitled to a refund or credit for an order for which you received cash back under this promotion, your refund or credit shall be reduced by the amount of cash back already credited to your PayPal account.

Any order subject to this promotion is also subject to all terms and conditions contained in Newegg?s standard Policy and Agreement, except to the extent of any express conflict between the terms of this promotion and the Policy and Agreement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems unclear whether it will work on multiple orders as it says there will be only one credit issued of up to $50. No mention of how the net of several orders can be combined to get the value the credit is applied to. Perhaps someone who has a personal interest should write to Newegg for clarification. I have written for clarification on the discrepancy between the 48 hours in Newegg's terms, and the "by Jan. 31" mentioned in PP's terms on the offer. Haven't heard back yet on my inquiry...

I got the order in the afternoon of the 15th, 13:45 pst according to paypal but it wasn't charged completely until that evening, so I'm thinking they may have run out of money by that point. Kinda sucks, but I did still get decent deals from Newegg as usual.

It would be incredibly bad PR for Newegg to cut off a lot of people from the 15% PP. I'm sure that the surge in orders they got on Monday was heavily due to that promotion, and to have it vaguely stated "only a limited number of funds available" yet still continue to have the banner up on the their website after the money run out will not sit well with most people, including myself. I believe they will do the right thing and honor everyone's discount.

I ordered on the 16th at 1:30 am Eastern time. Went to pay at Paypal and saved the page stating "This transaction is eligible for 15 % cash back up to 50 USD". I don't think they ran out of money this year (not like last year!).

One order only AFAIK. "This transaction is eligible for 15 % cash back up to 50 USD" would not appear at checkout for 2nd and subsequent orders from what I've read on deal sites. Also folks that cancelled and reordered could not get the 15% to appear for them again.

From your keyboard to Newegg management's ears...

Has anyone been credited 15% yet?

My order still says charged from Monday morning. I got a Pioneer car stereo and a friend at work got one too. I bragged about how quick they were and his still says charged too. I haven't gotten any other email updates. I figure they are busy, but I was hoping it would have shipped by now.
