On the fourth of July, I ordered the parts to my PC. I ordered some things from Newegg and some from Monarch to save some money. I ordered the cheapest shipping avalible from both, 5-7 day FedEx Saver. The Newegg order got here on Thursday, two days after they shipped it. I live in Virginia, so I think that's pretty good. The order from Monarch, however, took much longer. I emailed them after I didn't get a tracking number for a week, and they said there was an inventory issue with the motherboard that had now been corrected. They said it would probably be shipped on Tuesday by FedEx 2-Day. When it was Thursday and I hadn't gotten a tracking number yet, I emailed them again. The responded on Friday saying that it would probably be shipped that day. I still don't have a tracking number though, which means they probably didn't ship it, so it won't ship at least until Monday. That means I will have waited at least two weeks for it when I ordered 7 day shipping. From now on, if Newegg has what I want, I'll order from them. Their quick shipping is worth the slighly higher price.
 
Sorry about that. I'v never had a problem with Monarch. They usually have great prices and have fast shipping as well.

Newegg is the shiznit for shipping, I'll admit, but they're prices tend to be too high nowadays to order anything from them.

Next time, try ZipZoomFly - prices are usually the same or lower than Newegg and they usually give you free Fedex 2nd Day.

They are a bit high....
 
Yea, if you get a newegg part that is the same or higher (remember shipping) on monarch or ZZF, I'd jump on it. Newegg shipping and return policy is STILL very good, even if their prices aren't.

ZZF has all that fedex free second day stuff, and monarch has free shipping to on a lot of stuff. I would at least get my hard drives from ZZF (newegg sucks at packaging them), and maybe some other stuff.
 
Well, it turns out the order was shipped on Friday. So I should get it on Tuesday I guess. That will be excatly two weeks after I ordered it. I only saved about $30 by splitting my order between Newegg and Monarch, so next time I will probably just use Newegg so everything gets here in one box.
