They might charge a couple bucks more than random websites, their free shipping might not be lightning fast....but their customer service rocks.

They really do believe in giving the customer the pickle.
 
ehat? newegg?

they have gone downhill the last few years. I hate how it seems like they are takeing advantage of the reputation they have to screw people. BUT they still are one of the best customer service around.

though now i do more price shopping then i used to. i used to just log in and order stuff. now thats not always the best choice.

where did anyone say they hate them? we are saying they are not as good as they used to be. they have also changed shipping policy so its no longer the best when it comes to shipping.

BUT overall they are still one of the best online places to shop. Just they have slide to the point where now its not automatic place for me to go. i look around and they aren't always the best.
 
I still love Newegg too. Have never had a problem. Their shipping is not as fast as Amazon but has always been decent for me.
 
those of you getting subpar service..it must be just you.. ive ordered stuff on a weds. in most cases get it friday. in some rare occurances,ive gotten an item next day depending on location of warehouse.
there customer service is very easy to use. ive used the livechat twice for an RMA, and went smoothly.
there prices are usually alittle more. but what 5$..id pay 5$ extra for newegg over lets say tigerdirect.
 
i think people living on the coasts have it good from the egg. they have warehouses right in edison NJ and in california as well. stuff normally gets here in less than 3 days.
 
I used NewEgg a few times, but I'm in TN and get hit by the sales tax. (9.25% here since we have no state income tax) That's half of the reason I seek out other companies when possible. Buy.com and a few other companies have warehouses here in TN........ 🙁

I do price searching using pricegrabber.com but have been ordering a lot of video cards, memory, etc from zipzoomfly.com. They arean't always the cheapest, but have occasional good deals and offer free shipping on certain items and charge me no tax. I've not needed their customer service yet.

Anyone know of some other good companies? I'd like to make a list since I'm in the market for a laptop and would like to avoid paying $40-50 in sales tax. 😉

Just click on free shipping when searching. I have spent $400 there in the past month and have only paid $5 in shipping. My 21.5", HD monitor was shipped free.
 
I picked up one of the Hitachi 1TB hard drives that they had on sale yesterday - $75 shipped. I thought about buying two for a RAID setup, but oh well.
 
I still like NewEgg... not as much I used to to, but they're still good.

Although, now I have Amazon Prime, I order from amazon if they have a part that I need if it's the same price (or perhaps a few dollars more) because I know I'll get it fast. Newegg tends to take too long for me (I live in TX). I can order something saturday morning, and it doesn't get shipped till monday night/tuesday morning. Then I don't get what I ordered until Fri, unless it comes from TN, then it's much faster.

But, if I'm doing a full build (which I tend to do about twice a year), I'll order all the parts at once from NewEgg.
