Yup, well i did. thinking most other do too, i guess some were hoping that the worse would not happen, but looks like it's started sadly.

Chinese purchase of Newegg broke many months ago.

I use amazon.com since newegg got bought by china

Its always been China or close enough. They take care of me for some reason, maybe all the parts I buy. No complaints. Just two weeks ago i left some negative comment about a part adn they send me a refund without even asking

I use amazon because my prime subscription comes with free shipping, many times free same day shipping.

pond pump died last april in the morning, was worried about my koi as all I could do was toss in an aquarium pump for surface agitation. Amazon had a new pump there by mid afternoon.

discovered my cable modem was docsis2.0 which wasn't going to cut it on my new cox connection, amazon had a docsis3.0 modem there by 3pm same day

that really trumps all. Sure I could try and find the item cheaper elsewhere, but how much is your time worth? or how much are your koi worth? or reliable connectivity? (docisis2.0 modem was giving erratic performance). I guarantee that when they are more expensive, it's only going to be a few percent, 2-5% typically. Sometimes the faster shipping alone more than makes up the difference in price. Do you want it next week or this afternoon? How much is that worth to you?

Wow, so companies started by a Chinese person in the US are considered Chinese companies? Never knew that. I guess all those "US" companies are not really US...

yet another Glorious example of newegg quick, and expediant shipping/order processing.

i had a few bucks in newegg Gift card balance kicking around, and i saw a TPU member in need of some help aquiring some items, so i ordered that member what they required, I placed the order on the 3rd, the order shipped on the 7th (hows that for processing speed?!) then the order is scheduled to arrive at the destination on the 9th!. now if this doesnt seem like it is a ridiculously long time from order to delivery, please take into consideration the fact that the item is shipping from a starting point that is 51 miles from its destination!

seriously, if anyone has trouble seeing the issue with that example (which is 100% real) then that person is straight up broken. just to sum it up.

ordered on the 3rd
Ships FOUR (4) Days later on the 7th
arrives on the 9th

all of this for a 51 Mile trip. :shadedshu:

5.6 miles/day :laugh:

newegg might need a hand in the warehouse.

Nothing ships out on the weekend from Newegg. It's always been that way.

And, which warehouse was the actual item in? All the same items are not replicated across all warehouses. 2 days to you says it probably came from the Memphis warehouse or possibly NJ.

Meanwhile, to counter that example, I ordered a 4TB HDD Sunday, Feb 5th, because I know Sunday night they start processing orders again and packaging to ship the next morning. I just received said HDD this morning, February 7th at 9am.

Didn't have time to do anything else with it due to the tornado warning and had to take shelter.

Anyway, that's pretty typical for my Newegg experience. 36 or so hours.
