Wow that is awesome. Newegg is generally awesome, but I have never seen them that fast.

If I order in the early AM it's dropped at my door the next day in the late PM...36 hours.
Thier West Coast warehouse is 40 miles from my home.

Because I'm obviously being paid by Newegg to bring you this announcement :roll:

I've never experienced service that fast from any online retailer ever. I ordered a 2007FPW from Dell at the same time, and it's still at "order confirmed".

Slow down, there son. It wasn't a dig at you. I am simply stating that we shouldn't get excited because a vendor does what they are supposed to do. Yes, Newegg has amazing service, but your experience should be the norm, not the exception.

My last order from the Egg was like that. The UPS driver picked it up within 45 minutes of me placiing the order. Then it promptly went on a tour of the whole western US for about 8 days. I wasn't in any hurry for those parts so it was kind of amusing to track it's travels.

It's extremely rare for me to wait more than 24 hours between ordering and receiving goods from online retailers. I guess that's one of the (many) advantages of living in a small country like NZ :D

:confused: No comprende.

You can choose between post and courier over here. Courier is faster and generally has insurance, so I guess that's "express."

intogamer generally does not make sense, just ignore him.

Back on topic, when I ordered my DS3 from Mwave, I had my FedEx tracking 6 minutes after hitting the "Submit Order" button.

Because some of them do it far better than others.

Yep, thats why newegg has earned my multiple repeat business. Often times I wont even look at other computer supply websites, its just straight to newegg and order what I want.
