Newegg actually has three warehouses if i'm not mistaken. NJ, CA and TN. I wish all their stuff was in NJ because when I use UPS 3 day it comes the next day, then again that's because I live in NY. Is basically overnight for my case. For TN it takes exactly two days and CA takes three days. Most of the hot and popular items tend to come from CA. I notice that RAMs and hard drives are usually from NJ and cases are either CA or TN.

How come you guys dont have will call, I buy from Mwave alot cause they have will call and I think they are not far from you or am I incorrect.

Yes, they are in the general vicinity.

Well, we're not sure what the executives have in store for Newegg yet, but having will-call doesn?t seem too cost effective at this moment. We'd have to make room for storage space, restructure our policies and procedures, increase staff, additional security, etc. Basically, we're just not configured to have will-call. That doesn't mean its not a great idea or its not a possibility. Newegg is still growing and maturing as a company. You'll see more positive changes as the years go by.

Most of you are correct. For increased efficiency, we'll usually ship from the warehouse closest to the destination address. However, if a certain warehouse lacks inventory, then it will ship from the next best location, even if it's on the other side of the US.

Of course this shouldn't cause any delays, but for those of you that are used to receiving your packages a day or two early, you might just get it delivered on time.

Also, over 95% of our orders ship the same day placed; however, on rare occasions, any package may take 24 to 48 hours to process before actually shipping.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to PM us. :)

We hope this information helps.
