High prices & horrible shipping costs.

not to mention no more refurb hot deals.

Just to let you know, I just priced a new system for a friend of mine, and on every single major component (HDD, burner, mobo, CPU, memory, and video card), Newegg was cheaper. ZZF always had free shipping, but Newegg usually had a much lower price, and then moderate shipping, which ended up totaling a few dollars under ZZF.

So...their prices aren't that bad yet.

Let's see what you bought!!!

In this thread. Check the major components (not keyboard, mouse, monitor, case, or PSU I think) with ZZF. Newegg is cheaper. Prices in the thread include shipping.

I like NewEgg's flat-rate shipping when I buy a single item, but I still wish they would switch to weight-based shipping.

 

[Ns1]

yeah that's why i buy from monarch now

 

[Tylanner]

I liked new egg better before but you can't blame them...

Newegg will always have a special place in my cpu.

 

[13Gigatons]

Newegg = mobo, cpu, memory, PSU, dvd burner

Other = Hard drive deals, monitors, cases

 

[lokiju]

Monarchcomputer.com is like the new NewEgg IMO, good deals and usualy free shipping.

I've been buying from them since 2001... They ALWAYS have the best prices on AMD CPUs... too bad I live in GA... damn sales tax.

One thing to note, though: I still browse Newegg as opposed to ZZF or some other sites simply because of the great interface. Browsing products on ZZF SUCKS. I click on Athlon 64 and am brought to ONE PAGE with every single type of A64 chip on it.

Yeah, I don't know what's up with ZZF. Such a horrible interface.

ZZF price is better then morachcomputer but service really horrible then Newegg.com.
(I love Mwave.com & I hate ZZF)

it hurts every time i use it. Newegg has by far the best searching and interface of any online retailer i've ever seen.

Heh, they're trying to drum up business; I just got a $10-off code from them the other day.

Same here. I've recently discovered a couple other stores, but none have the great selection that NewEgg has. I recently ordered a heatsink for my processor from NewEgg, and it cost me $25 to ship it. That's just ridiculous.

Seeing how you are from alaska what do you expect?

Oh brother. A couple more fanbois tools. :roll:

Here's a clue, tools. Put a $20.00 stick of memory in your NewEgg cart and go to check out. Shipping: $4.99. Add another stick in the quantity and update. Shipping: $9.98. Add a 3rd stick and update quantity. Shipping: $14.97... Get it?

Oh brother, another Newegg hater troll. :roll:

Here's a clue troll, When you add up the cost of items and the shipping at other e-tailers Newegg is still usually cheaper.

Just about to place an order:

• Buy.Com
  • 
    
    $ 39.99 SanDisk 512MB Cruzer Micro
    $ 50.99 Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth
    $ 00.00 Shipping
    ______
    $ 90.98
  
  NewEgg
  • 
    
    $ 37.55 SanDisk Cruzer Micro 512MB Flash Drive
    $ 68.00 Microsoft M60-00006 Blue 5 Button Bluetooth Optical Mouse
    $ 09.80 Shipping
    ______
    $115.35

 

[PhaZe]

thanks for the comparison. btw I have that exact cruzer micro. it's badass. don't worry about the cap, I lost it the second day and its worked fine.

i think I saw it cheaper with a MIR if I'm not mistaken. if its worth it to you check hotdeals , slick or gottadeal.

 

[s0ssos]

well, i think a long time ago, when it was googlegear, newegg and googlegear were pretty much neck and neck. then, googlegear dropped out (it was more than just the name-change, it seemed. their spirit died with the lawsuit?), and i guess that gives newegg free go to do whatever they want

 

[Ornery]

Damn, I missed a serious stacked rebate on that for March.

Oh well, rebates will be kind of a pill, because I'm sending this to my son instead of here.

NewEgg also has the best real-time inventory system. And phenomenally fast packaging and shipping.

When you order something at the Egg, it is in stock and ready to go. None of this 4 hours later "We're sorry, that item is backordered..." crap that other vendors pull.

This is what I love about Newegg.

Plus, they made a customer for life out of me when they stepped up and honored the rebate for a Soyo motherboard I bought from them - a rebate that was supposed to come from Soyo itself. Not many retailers that would do that.

Wow a blast from the past. I'm glad you found a few products to back up your claim.

If it makes you feel better I have been moving abou 45% of my business to ZZF because it saves me $25 on every system built. I emailed Newegg and let them know about it but their response was a nice canned message. They claim to reduce shipping on multiple item orders but I keep track of that and they do not. I emailed them back to refute their claim but got no response. This is from someone who spent over $50,000 with them in the last 2 years.

*chuckle*

"$129.99 EATX Case with Powersupply and 45 pound sandbag" = FREE SHIPPING!
"$54.99 256MB stick of PC3200 = $15.99 FEDEX SAVER SHIPPING!"

 

[acemcmac]

I can't believe how long it takes them to get from the time I click to my sh!t on a truck. I used to be able to order monday at lunch and have my crap by wensday.
