I placed four orders with Newegg in the past week or so. Out of the three that I've recieved, NONE of them included a packing slip. This seems strange to me, they always used to include a (fairly useless) packing slip.

I am still getting mine. The only time I use them is for rebate claims so I don't have to print out the invoice on my dime.

The half dozen boxes I got after the BF weekend all had invoices in them. If it's changed it's very recent.

Probably just some workers forgetting/being lazy about it. The christmas season has them busting their ass more than usual.

This is Larry we're talking about. He has a long and proud history of being hyper-sensitive to any change that Newegg makes.

I said useless, but they aren't totally useless. I've come across rebate forms that state you can send either a packing slip or invoice.

I think that's what annoyed me with the fact that they were missing, as two out of the three shipment I recieved had rebates.

I'd always send an invoice for a rebate anyway. It's got all the info they want (shipping address, date, price), some of which may be missing from a packing slip.
