Who pays for the postage? DId you? No, the company that you ordered if from pays for the postage. I too thinks this costs companies something and they pass that added costs onto the consumer. You're selfish. Why don't you order 100 of them and then refuse them, I mean it's not like it costs you anything.

Cause then you would pay shipping. Nice try though.

It'll probably take 3 weeks to get to you (from Dell).

Hmm, ill just order from both..whoever gets here the fastest ill keep...slowest gets the refused stamp.

that's fvcked up, people like you raise the prices for everyone else

haha, no. Please make up your own mind before you follow the mob mentality with the stupid assumption that every $1 of product a company takes bake in returns is then passed down to the other consumers with higher prices.

what the fvck are you talking about? why don't you try to make some fvcking sense? the company ends up eating the shipping cost and that cost is eventually passed on to the consumer. if you aren't bright enough to realize this, you sir a grade A fvcking idiot. if you did know, then you're just a fvcking ass :|

FYI: i'm not on some fvcking wagon to bash other ppl. the reason what you do angers me is that my parents each own a business and the type of $hit you do hurts all business owners. whether it's a mom and pop store or a franchise, it does not matter.

I'm going to resist the tempatation to be a foul mouthed ass like you and instead I'll just break you off a little knowledge. Undoubtedly Business 101 tought you what you believe in the above quote. Well here's Business 201 for you:

Some businesses are in a highly competitive market and will pass the hit to revenue instead of pricing themselves out of competition. In case you were born yesterday, Newegg really looks like a good example of a business in a highly competitive market that could easily price themselves out. So now that you know this, ask someone to kick that soapbox out from under your loud, foul mouth and move on......


BTW: I believe returning things all the time for silly reasons is wrong too. I just had to comment on the babble I read, hopefully somebody learned something.

so are you saying that it's fair for the business to take on the cost of shipping? if the cost gets passed on to the consumer or it is taken out of the total revenue of a business, it does not matter. my whole point is that it is highly immoral to do something like that.

if you want to comment on my foul mouth, go right on ahead. do you think that it's going to bother me? if you want to be a know-it-all, go right on ahead, i do not care.

I have the Western Digital "Special Edition" 80 GB drive that I got sometime ago. Its a great drive performance-wise. . .but it makes this high pitched (relative to the other components in my PC) and this noise is getting irritating. I dont know if this is a problem with all drives or just this one.

Fair? Nope. Re-read my post, I don't believe I said either way. I get your point, but that isn't how you worded it at first.

if you want to comment on my foul mouth, go right on ahead. do you think that it's going to bother me? if you want to be a know-it-all, go right on ahead, i do not care.

Wasn't trying to bother you, I just thought your choice of words to prove an incorrect point was rather stupid, that's all. I am not a know it all... but I do know you jumped all over someone and even told them to make f ing sense and called them a grade A idiot when you were wrong yourself.

Returning things all the time for silly reasons IS wrong. And we can be civil while vehemently disagreeing. I believe the reasoning that a highly competitive business can pass on the cost to revenue is faulty thinking. A company may be willing to eat the cost in the name of customer service in order to earn loyalty. That is an investment in good will. This is not the case here. The package refuser has no true loyalty to anyone or anything except him or herself! That useless delivery cost will find its way to the bottom line and the bottom line has real costs and implications like fewer jobs or lost jobs. Given that the refuser probably does not discriminate between various suppliers, he or she sends back things to everyone when the mood suits. That adds cost everywhere and we will pay for that eventually. There is no free lunch (except those we find in Hot Deals).

Happy Holidays to All!

Nice! I got the Biostar USB 6-in-1 reader with 2-port internal USB cable for $7 shipped. It showed up as $17 in my cart, but when I went to check out, i subtracted $10 for customer appreciation. Sweet!

 

[dnuggett]

I believe the reasoning that a highly competitive business can pass on the cost to revenue is faulty thinking.

Maybe you should re-read my post then, it explains the logic. They will not raise prices to consumers, and instead will call it an expense of business. It makes perfect sense in the fact that if prices are raised, they can effectively price themsleves right out of the market. If they have a successful business model, the expense they eat will be made up in sales since they kept prices competitive. These expenses are tracked, and business policies are changed if necessary, but prices rarely go up in a highly competitive market such as the one NewEgg is in. Not if they plan on staying in business. I think I've spent enough time on this topic.

 

[dcdomain]

Hey does anyone know if Newegg pricematches or has a policy concerning that? Just found something I ordered at another retailer for a lower price... damn... n/m, they do not have a pricematching policy.

So you're saying that they can stay in business if they keep on passing the "hit to revenue"? You do realize if this happens enough there will be no more revenue left to pass it to. Even if you aren't hurting other consumers, you are hurting a business, and for what? To get your package a couple days earlier? That's pretty weak. I guess being ethical isn't high on your list of priorities.

You guys just don't get it.... you really don't. Like I said I spent enough time on this. Study up on Ethics bud, especially utilitarianism. There are rights and caring issues you prob want to look at too, I've spent enough time on this.

I'm sure he probably sends mail for free, by swapping the "to" and "from" addresses, and leaving off postage, and then dropping in a nearby street-corner mail drop-box. But what he doesn't realize (or probably does), is that things like that, raise the price of stamps for all of us. So next time you are grumbling to yourself, about the price of stamps going up AGAIN, think of dnuggett, and how clever he is. I'm sure his tactics are appreciated by everyone, in a shared socio-economic system. "Hidden" costs do get passed on, one way or another. You can be certain of that.

 

[Crapkilla]

Okay, let's say the extra cost doesn't get passed on to the end customer.
So let's examine who takes the hit, shall we?

Newegg's bottom line? - nope, no way, the profit margins are razor thin in this market already.

Customer's? - nope, prices have to remain low to be competitive

Customer service/employees? - YEP, Newegg is forced to make ends meet, so they hire less people, give less raises, answer fewer phones.

So, go ahead and keep screwing over companies (really sticking it to the man!!) the only people you're hurting are the poor schleps making $9 an hour. Do you really believe that companies will just continually absorb costs and not try to recoup them somewhere?? Your last job was at Enron, right?

If you guys really want to keep arguing this, plz take it to another thread and stop saturating the Hot Deals forum with this flamewar. Thank you.

Exactly... but it is rather funny to see how my reply to one person on how some businesses do not raise prices, but lose revenue to these shenanigans, and all of the sudden I condone it. I really don't want to continue this conversation either, but since someone decided to run off at the keyboard there is something I need to type then I'm done:

VirtualLarry- you are quite possibly the slowest person I have ever seen on AT. Either that or you can't read. WHEN DID I CONDONE THIS BEHAVIOR???? I made quite clear that I do not. But that requires reading... obviously a little too much for your mind to handle.

So next time you hear about someone laughed at and called a moron because they run their mouth and don't pay attention to what is going on think of VirtualLarry and how "clever" he is.

BTW VirtualLarry that looks like quite a thought out postal scheme you have there.

Dang, that's some high-quality stuff at good prices right there!

well, since mr. high and mighty here knows so much, we'll leave it at that. no point in arguing with someone that is learned in the subject.

you may not have condoned that type of behavior, but by defending cheaparse, it sure looked it. also, why are you now running your mouth off? you bust my balls for getting on cheaparse and now you're busting virtuallarry's balls. good job

WTH is there not to get? Your first comment made it sound like you just jumped on the f'ing band wagon of people who stupidly assume that every $1 any company takes as a return is then passed on down to other consumers.

Only later did I find out that your opinion was based off the fact that your parents own their own business.

Like dnuggett already pointed out, if their business is not in a competitive market, they may have to put that loss back into their prices...its business.

My original comment was mainly a joke & I have ordered from niether place...sale ended @ newegg already. Thanks for the attacks & the hijack....

Masterxfob, read VirtualLarry's post. He insinuated that I partake in illegal activity, and obviously was in no position to do so. I am not a criminal or unethical, and will call him out on that as bluntly as I need to to get that point across. I'm not going to let that slip. Besides my main gripe with your post was the language...and so early in the morning when I read it. I personally didn't feel your post was fair, partly because it was inaccurate, or at least not accurate in a lot of circumstances, and partly because of the language you used against him. I'm no saint by any means and drop "f" bombs when I feel the need, I guess it just rubbed me the wrong way when I read it. In any event you are alright with me bro.. it's all good.

BTW I MAKE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THIS AN OFFICIAL HIJACKED THREAD (just need a second for the motion to pass)
