<< You know, Newegg service may be ok, but I reeally am offended by the way they charge for shipping for items like this. I was going to order a MB and CPU from them, but now I am going to order from SavingXoom, and pay 20$... go ahead and flame me, im sorry I dont have the blind loyalty some of you do. >>
I personally have no blind loyalty. Newegg is a good and proven place to shop with prices that can be used to go by, instead of pricewatch, for example.
However, newegg's had its share of problems with me. One day I ordered me a 1.33Ghz TBird for them, and it actually exploded inside the socket. I don't know what the problem was, but it exploded and split in halves. It was perfectly clear that the CPU was exposed to extreme heat, rather than having been thrown or dropped.
So, I call them up to see if I can arrange anything, not expecting much anyway. I'm told that they will RMA this CPU without any problems and thinking that I explained the problem perfectly well to the customer service rep, I just mailed the processor back to them and thought everything would be fine. A week and a half later, I call, they tell me the processor hasn't arrived etc., although I knew it did. To make a long story short, they walked me around for about a month only to send me back the broken CPU, with the explanation that they couldn't replace it. When I called them up and spoke with the manager, I totally flamed him and literally cursed the $hit out of him for being a dumb$hit and telling me all this time that they didn't get the processor I sent.
I never expected them to replace the processor in the first place, but they shouldn't have wasted my time like they did.
Sorry this is slightly OT.
