I'm really only doing this for an entry. I'm sure they're legit though the rest of this is all filler because they wanted one hundred characters.
Wide selection and fast delivery but bad customer service. Ordered a PC on 10/24/17 for $1299 and on 11/19/17 it went down to $1099. I chatted with customer service and they told me to send it back and to order another the new one at the lower price. They sent me a RMA and call tag and I thought at this point my experience was awesome but then I read that there was a 25% restocking fee which the rep forgot to mention. I called again asking to get some kind of refund and the best they offered was a gift card. I called the next day and spoke with a manager who recited how their price match policy says "only within 14 days" but I reminded her that policy only stated for competitors and not their own merchandise, since this was sold and shipped by Newegg. In the end she wouldn't budge. Then there was the $500 monitor that I bought through Newegg but was shipped by Pixio and had crackling noises, lots of screen clouding, and had issues with the displayport. I asked Newegg for an RMA but never got a response, emailed again never got a response, and finally live chatted with them and they said there would be a restocking fee! I contacted Pixio (BTW they are great) and they said they would replace the monitor for free and said they normally don't do this but they understand how Newegg can be very difficult (how did they read my mind). Overall I got the items I wanted but Newegg's customer service and return policy are very lacking. Next time I will probably go though Amazon or pay the premium and go big box store for the security of returning/exchanging an item and price matching.
The platform is pro-seller and anti-buyer. I had an issue where the seller shipped a completely wrong item.
One of my favorite places to buy electronics. Always had fast delivery and always nicely packaged. No complaints.
My history with Newegg dates back to my first computer build in 2003 with many builds and components since. I remember orders being shipped the next day with fast shipment times. I'll admit that in the last year I've become an Amazon junkie because, well... If I don't get stuff the same day, it's 2 days max. Incredible. However, I decided to give Newegg a shot with a new motherboard and CPU last week... What a mistake! I ordered Sunday 12/6 with 3-day shipping (Newegg 3 day) specified. The order didn't get shipped until Tuesday 12/8 and they incorrectly shipped UPS ground versus the 3-day I paid for. The package won't arrive until 12/14! That's 8 calendar days after the order was made.
This was the last order I will place with Newegg. To put things in perspective, on Thursday 12/10 (while I'm waiting for my package from Newegg that won't arrive until the following Monday), the same components on Amazon have a Prime member option for delivery by Saturday 12/12. That's 2 calendar days from order and 2 calendar days before the Newegg shipment will arrive which was ordered a week before! And, good luck trying to get in contact with anyone from Newegg to get your shipping refunded. You'll sit on the phone for hours and the live chat is a joke. When you first log in to chat, you're greeted by a message saying it will be a 42 minute wait. After the wait time counted down to 29 minutes, it reset to 45 minutes... LOL...
Hey Newegg, listen closely, UNLESS YOU RADICALLY CHANGE YOUR DELIVERY BUSINESS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT, AMAZON WILL PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS. GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK.
Hi Kevin,
We appreciate that you brought this to our attention, and I apologize for any difficulties this may have caused for you.
Orders are typically processed within a 1-2 business days time frame prior to being shipped, so if the package shipped on Tuesday, it should have been delivered no later than Friday with our Newegg 3 Business Day shipping.
We'd like to further look into this for you. Please feel free to email us at wecare@newegg.com with your order details.
We look forward to hearing from you, and we hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you,

Just placed a big order for a new computer from Newegg. Prices are very good and the shipping quality and speed is excellent. Can't wait!
I have dealt with Newegg a number of times and have been satisfied with their service. During the COVID-19 virus I ordered
A hard drive and a webcam for my computer. I got the hard drive in a reasonable time frame, but the webcam I did not get. After
Looking on the Newegg website, for my orders tracking, the only information I could get, was that a tracking label was created
And the item was in transit. So I contacted to company by phone and was told that the order is coming from over seas and that it
Could take up to 15 days. She told me that she would contact the company and get me an update to where my item is. I didn't get
The update, and after another week called them back, for an update on where my item was. I was then told that they didn't
Get a response from my last claim, and that the only thing they could do was to refund my money, which I would have to wait for,
Since they had to put in a claim. So in conclusion, I didn't get my product, and I have to wait for my refund. I am not happy
With the way they handed this problem. I will not be doing business with them anymore. If I had known up front that the
Product was coming from over seas and that it would take more then a couple of weeks to get, I wouldn't have ordered it
In the first place.
Hello Ross,
We're saddened to hear about the shipping issues you had with one of our Marketplace sellers. Sadly, when it comes to Marketplace orders and claims, if the seller is unable to provide the item ordered, since Newegg does not have the ability to fulfill third party orders as far as replacements go when it comes to the claims process, and it is not a direct item sold and shipped by Newegg, but the seller instead, a refund will be issued on behalf of the seller if they fail to assist further.
While we are glad to hear we were able to issue the funds back, I do want to apologize that the seller was unable to process the order in a timely manner.
If there is anything more we can look into for you, please let us know.
Thank you,
Louis [Newegg Support]
AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID
- search tools often work better than at the competition
- less choice than at the competition
- prices are good at Newegg, sometimes better than at the alternative
- shipping is fast
BUT when you try to return:
- get ready for huge RMA fees
- get ready to be scammed: we paid $400+shipping for a product. We ended up with $320 less shipping after all the scams (and that's for untouched unopened packages of items that are returnable and were returned promptly)
- don't bother calling customer service: you will be on hold for ages and then the system will simlply respond with "good-bye" and cut off
Hello Bob,
Thank you for writing and bringing this to our attention. It is distressing to hear that we have caused such difficulty for you. Be advised that there are (2) two processes that must be performed manually by a customer service agent when returning an item to Newegg. Depending on the reason for the return, a customer service agent must manually remove the 15% restocking fee when a refund is requested and the agent can issue a prepaid UPS shipping label to be used in returning the item to Newegg at no cost to the customer. For this service, you need only contact Newegg customer service directly and we can provide the services as indicated.
Please email us the details of the call in which you were hung up on at wecare@newegg.com as we would like to look into this a review the system.
Thank you,
Mike (Newegg Support)

I tend to purchase my items here. Never had any issues with my orders. Fast shipping and items are true what the description has.
Bought a few pieces to put together my new PC. This site always has a great selection and I found exactly what I needed.
Newegg = the best, I had a graphics card come dead on arrival and they overnighted me a new one. Truly great customer support!
I have used neweeg to buy spare parts for my PC for a few years now. Best competitive prices and great service. 5 stars!
Was: newegg delivers items in a few days, free shipping. Now: newegg spams my email with unsolicited adds for stuff I don't want.
Just got all my parts delieverd (rush ordered) in time to build my brother a new PC for Christmas. Great work Newegg
ORDERED 25GB BD-R ON 3 TO 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND TONER AND DRUMS FOR MY BROTHER LASER. GREAT PRICES AND SUPER FAST SHIPPING. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THANKS NEWEGG!
I've been using this site since I first moved out, I've never bought parts or a computer from anywhere else (I bought a flash drive at Wal-Mart once, so I guess I'm lying). My dad has never bought from anyone else, either, so I guess it runs in the family. Neither of us has ever had a problem with an item we purchased from Newegg. The prices at Newegg are consistently 25-50% lower than buying from Wal-Mart or Best Buy or some other random store. They provide customer reviews of every item they stock, so you have a great chance to tell what you're getting beforehand. The site is clean, easy to navigate and user-friendly. What more could you ask for?
I've used this site to make my own computers, purchase any technology needs, used it to rebuild friend's computers, and used it for a home business rebuilding/upgrading computers. Out of some 100+ items I've bought, I've had one that died on me. It was refurbished and I knew I was taking that risk, so when it failed, I sent it back. Yep, they charge a restocking fee and yes, I had to pay for shipping. But, unlike some of the people here, I'd read their terms of service and knew to expect that. IT'S STATED CLEARLY! It's not Newegg's fault that some people have not yet mastered the basic skill of reading.
I got my money back, minus the fees that were CLEARLY STATED, and haven't had a problem since. In fact, the computer I'm writing this on is a refurbished laptop I bought from Newegg. It's been the most awesome laptop, and the price was literally unbeatable.
If you're dubious about a product, read the customer reviews--the ones they have for everything they stock. All you have to do is check the reviews out before you buy to feel safer about your purchase. If there are no reviews and you're still dubious, wait for some reviews, or buy your item locally for about 25-50% more, that's your prerogative.
I have never been tempted to switch to a different computer store, these guys are awesome!
Well, I did end up getting my full refund after I wrote this review, so let me give credit where credit is due.
Hello Vanessa,
I am sorry to hear about the negative return experience and would like to look into this further. Could you send an email to wecare@newegg.com with your RMA number and reference this post? Look forward to hearing from you! -Rella (Newegg Support)
Tons of electronics including parts and pieces. Build computers from scratch or buy them complete. Lots to choose from and prices are competitive.

Answer: The reason why i gave a bad review was because i ordered a phone for my wife, An I-phone 5 and NewEgg.com only sent a box with the manual and a charger for the phone. I called NewEgg.com and explained to them and they stated i needed to wait while they investigate, they never got back to me so i called them again. The person i talked to put me on hold then came back to me and stated she was checking this what was going on and kept putting me on hold for a total of 45 minutes to only come back and tell me that i need to send them a picture of the box and contents. I have no clue what my wife or children did with the box now i am screwed. 219.00 down the drain. This was the first and last purchase i will make until the get this straight.
Answer: Amazon is much better, more reliable and customer friendly, especially if you are an international buyer (live outside U. S)
Answer: Use paypal when you buy, because if you have a serious problem Newegg will do everything it can to keep your money.The only thing they respect is getting a negative reputation with paypal.
Answer: Pay Pal will not help you. After several hours on the phone with PayPal and which ever company you bought from, you will still ultimately get screwed by PayPal or end up waiting 2 months before you get you money back, if at all.
Answer: Hello Tony! Newegg now accepts Bitcoin as payment for most order types. Here is some general information about Bitcoin on Newegg. https://kb.newegg.com/knowledge-base/using-bitcoin-on-newegg/ Kindly, Lindsay [Newegg Support]
