I ordered everything on Friday. The bulk of the order shipped out from Memphis, TN, and it's still in Tennesee. Just left Knoxville earlier today :(

It's scheduled to get here on Monday, December 1st. Is this normal for online orders?

I've ordered plenty of stuff online before. Wasn't expecting that it'd take 10 days. :confused:

So much for spending Thanksgiving break with my new computer
 
No Thanksgiving breaks for shipping companies just so you can enjoy yours. ;)

If it's Egg-saver, it can take awhile. UPS Ground will take a few days, tops, but Egg-saver tells UPS to take their time. Hell, Directron's shipment to me is from Dallas to Columbus, OH, yet it's going to Maumee, OH first, which is like 2.5 hours north of me. Go figure.
 
Yah, I wish you could pick and choose which warehouse they ship out of. In fact, I wish I didn't have to pay CA sales tax if it ships from TN or NJ, lol. In any case, its holiday season, so I'd expect delays. If you wanted it in two days, you should have paid for it. ;) I know, I expect egg saver to get to me next day, too... but not if it ships from an out of state warehouse, lol. Like I said... I wish I could pick and choose...
 
Vendors and shippers are slammed this time of year. Amazon and other on line folks I do business with are also moving a bit slower as of late.

'Tis the season, my friend....patience will be required.....:cool:
 
Newegg is so fast, that once I ordered in the afternoon, and it arrived in at my work the next morning before I got there, this was when I lived in San Diego. (and yes I was there at 10:30am - oops!)

I just didn't expect that it would take 10 days. I didn't want it to come today because nobody would be home all day today, and I didn't want $800 of hardware sitting outside my apartment.

So yah.. I figured.. Order it a week in advance and I should get it within a week. Nope hehe... 10 days to get here :(

BTW the tracking still hasn't been updated since it left Tennessee:mad:


Should have just bought everything at microcenter. Would have cost me a $100 more... hmm maybe not. meh
 
Hmmm The package is now only a few hours drive away from my house... And it's still scheduled to arrive on Monday of next week? Any chance this will arrive on Friday?
 
That does seem like a long time for Newegg. Even when I order stuff and it ships from the other coast, it usually only takes a few days.

Think positive. :) I've had them arrive early as well.

Well it's business days though... so technically you ordered Friday... nothing happened Sat, Sun. And with the holiday... thurs and Fri this week are a wash... basically its only really been Mon, Tues, Weds which is 3 bus days. Wrong week to order something I guess :) If it shows Monday thats only 4 business days which is pretty good for Egg Saver.

Ya... I was counting last Friday too... Even though I ordered late Friday I think Friday afternoon/evening and Sat Sun should count as one business day...

But I wasn't counting Black Friday, and actually just found out that UPS doesn't ship on Black Friday... Fair enough. I was actually thinking that the busiest retail day of the year would be paired with other normal businesses in operation as usual, but was wrong. So this is more UPS's and Black Friday's fault than Newegg's

So yah... Oh well, whatever
 
No, the worst is when you order something on Thursday, it arrives here on Friday, and you have to wait till it moves from the shipping center to your house on Monday.

How is that worse than ordering something last Friday, and watching it sit in the 'shipping center' for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
 
Oh my god this is driving me crazy: The tracking number says it's being shipped to the next town over (10 minutes away) at the moment. It's probably there right now, all sitting boxed up, ready to sit there for another four days before being delivered... NOOOO :(
