Back on topic, I stopped using Newegg as my main buying source when they started charging sales tax in TN. 9.25% tax is the reason I go online to buy.

Also, the carrier change from FedEx to UPS kind of sucked too.

When they stopped using FedEx Express Saver as their default (and cheapest) shipping method. UPS BLOWS.

That's easy. When more idiots like yourself post more idiotic threads.

I have never had a problem shipping my items to my College address even though my billing address remains my home address. It takes longer to verify for good reason.

Seriously man, you should go back and check the form. You probably accidentally hit something without knowing it. Also flaming the crap and using the Golden Bannable phrase "Die In A Fire" is a good way to:
A. Get Flamed back
B. Get banned

You are a lifer, you should know better...come on!

ten years ago, iRONic would just be banned for beign an ass on the forums. They didn't put up with that sort of juvenille crap back then.

If you need to ship to a different address, please assist us by doing the following: Contact your card issuer and have the alternate Ship-to Address added as an authorized shipping location in your account records or in the memo field. If you choose to ship to an address other than your billing address that has not been specified as an alternate Ship-to Address with your card-issuer, your order may be delayed by up to several days as we complete verification.

You may want to do that first~. Although if you're an über nerd like me, NewEgg doesn't verify your address anymore :p.

Agreed. It's happened to me twice that a co-worker has ordered something through my account using his/her credit card number.

It asks you for the shipping address and CC number and then assumes that the CC always belongs to my account's address (my mailing address) and there are problems down the line when they try to verify the card.

In both cases, I had to call and tie up one of their CS reps for no longer than 5 minutes.

A simple "Is the mailing address the same as the billing address?" or "Is the billing address for this credit card the same as this newegg account holder's address?" checkbox would save them probably thousands of hours and dollars per year.

Ok I was here before they switched to Fusetalk (I was 11 at the time, and by the time we got broadband I hadn't remembered anything and just made a new account) and I never remember people getting banned for that.

The worst Ironic has done has been "idiot" or "dummy". Come on, you are a lifer, you should know this!

there's nothing wrong with Newegg...I've been buying from them for years without a hitch...some people just go over the edge if something goes wrong.

fact is...shiat goes wrong in just about every business...deal with it..it won't be the last time....

I never had problems with NewEgg, they are my first option and maybe they don't have the option to check or change that.
