<< It is not newegg's fault that you "lost" clients cause you felt you were unable to do the work without a certain amount of ram in your system or have a contingency plan in place to meet deadlines, no matter what happens to his system. FYI, it's your problem when you build your own system and it fails. There is a reason that corporate america buys Dell/Compaq/HP/IBM. Then you actually wait 3 weeks till you receieve a box? If this "work" and those "clients" were so important, i DAMN sure know i wouldn't have waited 3 weeks for some box to magically appear on my doorstep. I'd be calling them everyday till i got my ram (because you say it's so mission critical to your application). >>
Obviously that is bad business practice. if it was soo important and urgent, i woulda just paid the extra money and bought the ram at CompUSA or Best buy or a local computer shop.
however, that is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Truth is, most of these ARDENT defenders of Newegg.com would probably be among the FIRST to b1tch and moan about Newegg, if they were the ones that suffered unjustly.
why can't you just accept at face value taht krashx6 had a bad experience w/ newegg. Do you honestly believe that the 8 to 10 times you ordered from Newegg is statistically significant? truth is there have been a growing number of complaints.
