60% of the hardware I get is cheapest and NewEgg, even including shipping. the other 40% comes from good deals on specific components that pop up on other retailers from time to time.

Buh? I ordered everything for my newest system from them this winter, and the total shipping cost was $4.99 for 3-day service. The case (i.e. large box) was a seperate order, and was still $8 for 2 days.

It still beats the hell out of paying sales tax for a shitty selection at Best Buy.

Anyone else notice the new shipping option from newegg? I ordered a MicroSD card from them and paid $2.16 in shipping for USPS Priority mail. Helluvalot cheaper than UPS (which was $5.XX), and I got it in 2 days :D

No problems from Newegg here.

And that is a bad thing in what way? Those deals help reduce the cost of shipping and save both the customer and Newegg money.

While Newegg is a little more expensive, their fast shipping and knowing I'm not going to get ripped off are why I keep going back.

Its the same reason I keep buying photo stuff from B&H photo.
