Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I'm looking to order a 50" Plasma from them, but I wanna see what people's opinions are and if anyone has every ordered anything that big from them.

I ordered some computer memory from them and was pleased with the overall experience (price, speed of shipping, etc.). I know that's not a big item, but thought I'd chime in. Should you decide to order from them, don't forget about getting some money back through bing.com - that would really add up with the large ticket item.

Have only ordered computer stuff from them but they've always been very reliable. I ordered a 24" widescreen monitor from them a few years back which arrived fine.

If there is a problem with the display I think they'll basically have you return it and credit you - they don't to direct exchanges for some reason.

There's an old thread here:

I've ordered from them about a dozen times over the last few years and have never had a problem.

They're generally known as being pretty crappy packers for things such as hard drives. Don't know whether that would have any effect on a big screen.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

Chances are they'll send the TV in the original box. Doesn't pretty much everyone do that?

If it can make it thousands and thousands of miles starting in a warehouse in Japan, across roads to trains to boats across the Pacific, back to trains and roads to a warehouse in California, all the while rocking on the boat, shifting in the trucks, being moved from truck to train by some union guy who hates his job, etc, I doubt any company is then gonna say, "Gee, maybe we better pack the box in another box for the last 200 miles."

:p

I've ordered > $25k in the past 2 years from there. Love them.

Newegg has never left me unhappy. If something shows up damaged, I imagine they will take care of it for you.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I've ordered tons of computer stuff from there. Great online store, and probably the most popular for computer equipment.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

Highly recommended. Built all my computers via Newegg.

I ordered my receiver from them. The first came defective. I returned it, they paid the shipping. They shipped the second and I had no problems. When they lowered the price during the thirty days after I received my second unit, I called them and they credited my account. If I had known they had my tv there I would have bought it from them.

Hmm. I just ordered 2 over the past month and both were packaged too well. Took me a while to get them out of the bubble wrap and foam peanuts.

I ordered a hard drive from them last November for a Christmas present and it came with no peanuts or foam. The plastic container holding the hard drive was damaged too, not sure if they shipped it like that or the container was damaged by sliding back and forth in the over sized cardboard box they sent it in. I ended up returning it to Newegg with no problem

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I've read that their packing depends on what facility does the shipping. Mine ships from Southern California and always comes minimally protected, but I haven't had any damage. Just luck.

imho more or less...

newegg => computer parts
as
amazon => dvds

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

The largest thing I've ever ordered from Newegg was a computer case.

I like and trust Newegg, but sometimes their shipping prices can be pretty high. I don't really understand why it costs $6-7 to ship a $10 IDE cable. :scratch2:

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I've order lots of stuff from them and they also have great customer service.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I have ordered many things without problems.

I was even able to return something that was my mistake and they took it back no questions asked.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

Can't speak for large items, but I too have built several computers from New egg. Great service, fast shipping, never had a problem with shipping damage.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

Just small pc stuff myself and no issues but....I've been looking at a new hard drive and seveal reviews from a few months back told of terrible packing involving the hard drives. I t may have been fixed or just in a small time frame. If anything check all the feeback especially with larger items and take note of any shipping comments. Even with small LCDs tp full computers.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I ordered a HD camcorder from them and it arrived in very good condition.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

Ordered just computer stuff from them. Biggest thing would probably be a motherboard. Nothing in the league of flat panel displays.

Very fast shipping and great service, requested a RMA once from them regarding a Bluetooth headset.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I ordered a laptop there recently and everything went smooth. I'd recommend being on their mailing list. Some good deals pop up every so often.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I've ordered the parts for my last 2 computers from them and have never had a bad experience. Very good company and extremely fast shipping.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I ordered my 40" LCD TV from Newegg a few months ago and they just stuck a shipping label on the box. It came in perfect condition though (besides the box being a little damaged from shipping, but nothing serious) and I'm happy with the purchase.

Re: Ever order from Newegg.com?
 

I order from them frequently. According to my account history, 79 orders since 2002 :D

I've never had a problem with anything they've shipped, although their packing of hard drives leaves a lot to be desired.

So, NewEgg gets a :up: :up:
