Newegg has made their default shipper UPS. After many packages taking up to twelve days to be delivered from within the lower 48 and the sheer amount of damaged packages I have recieved I will not deal with UPS anymore.

Never have I recieved one package early from UPS. This being hundreds of shipments over fifteen years. Not once. Nine out of ten of my fedex packages were delivered early.

Now I know Newegg still offers Fedex shipping but it is very high when compared to the standard that most companies their size seem to offer. Personally I cant figure out why they switched. Everyone loved Neweggs shipping speed and rates. Guess UPS offered them some HUGE discounts to get some business back.

So long story short, where is some other good places to purchase from. I used to buy from Mwave alot so going to check them out again, just wondering if anyone else knows of a good place to buy Video cards and comp hardware at fair rates.

Thanks up front :)

UPS and FedEx are not the same all over the country. FedEx in my area sucks. They don't always leave a package at the door when I've filled out the card... and when they did one time, they left my $350 digital camera AT THE WRONG ADDRESS. UPS hasn't failed me yet. They always deliver between 3 and 6 pm... they always leave the package AT THE CORRECT ADDRESS unless a signature is required.

Anyway... monarchcomputers.com is decent, zipzoomfly.com is decent, ****** is great for DVD and CD media.

*EDIT* Wow... that website is censored... if you want to know what it is PM me.
