I too must admit that I don't do near as much business with NewEgg as I use to. They are still fantastic, if not one of the best, but what they were in the past is not what they are now. NewEgg use to be the only place to buy hardware online and get consistent results (quick shipping, great prices, even better customer service/returns). Now it is still great, but it is the following:
Code:
OLD NEWEGG | NEW NEWEGG
---------------------------------------------
Best Prices | Fair Prices - You will find the same prices at a handful of other etailers.
Best Return Policy | Standard Return Policy - They are usually pretty good about returns, but they got rid of replacement policy after 30 days
Quick Shipping | Quick Shipping* - You have no idea what warehouse something is coming from now so for us West Coasters that have been using NewEgg since inception we go from knowing we are getting it in 2 days to maybe 4 or 5 days depending on if it got to a East Coast warehouse, and because of the time-zone change if it got shipped that day or will go out the next day. Inconsistency for many items I purchase. You would think 100% of orders would ship from their CA warehouse, but honestly, it is only about 75% to me and in the back of my mind i'm always wondering when I place an order "will this be a 25% East Coast warehouse". You open a ticket and they won't tell you until after you place the order.
