I like UPS... never had a problem with it. As for NewEgg, my only issue with them, is that they are in CA. Since I am in Los Angeles, I end up having to pay 8.25% sales tax.

Stop using UPS, pay the extra $5 and get Fedex Express Saver... both my packages from newegg this week have come within two days.

I think it really sucks that the FedEx price is so much higher than UPS now. UPS screws up every order going cross-country (CA to MI). Here's my UPS tracking for my order placed on 12/30:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 01/05/2006 4:14 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
01/05/2006 2:47 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN
01/05/2006 2:04 A.M. A FLIGHT DELAY OCCURRED BECAUSE OF MECHANICAL REASONS
ONTARIO, CA, US 01/04/2006 7:59 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
BALDWIN PARK, CA, US 01/02/2006 6:12 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
US 01/02/2006 10:02 P.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

I think it's a bunch of ****** and Newegg sucks for switching to UPS. MWave here I come.

btw: i ordered a 6600GT....time to upgrade the old tired radeon 8500

UPS constantly delivers my packages to the opposite side of town. I am on the SW side, and they deliver to the NW side. Besides that, I swear the driver uses the package as a seat in his truck. One time I got a case that was completely f'ed up, you could even see it was broken through the box, but they delivered anyways.

I think it was a very bad move for newegg to offer UPS shipping, fedex has always come through for me, normally a day early.

I'd like to take this opportunity to make it clear that I claim sole dominion over any phrase containing the words "foiled again" in that order and context. Please refrain from future use of my phrase, or I'll be forced to make more petty posts whining about it.

Well, now I regret not choosing Fedex on the RAM I ordered yesterday.

I was thinking about it, since UPS can't ever find my house until it's a day late, but went with it anyways. /sigh

Hopefully it'll arrive Monday since they get the weekend to transport it.

Why dont people just stop buying at newegg? I mean come on they were great. But to rape customers buying experience just to save a buck, well thats just not a company I am going to continue to use. www.zipzoomfly.com offers free 2nd day shipping on everything. So I am switching to using them.

I complained to Newegg via email because my package was late and they said they would refund me the shipping cost. That was nice. We'll see if it happens.
