NeweggReviews 924

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!

I was the victim of identity fraud and I suspect Newegg is how they obtained my information. When I contacted Newegg and verified my account they confirmed that another name and shipping address other than the one associated to the account was who purchased a laptop. Not only did Newegg charge my account with them and ship the laptop but then "could not disclose" the name of the person they shipped it to to protect their privacy. I asked to speak to a supervisor but one was not available. Later the supervisor called me and said the same thing that they cannot share any information about the person who stole my identity. I am now working through the Whittier, CA police dept where Newegg is located. I will of course never be doing business with them again and shame on them for protecting their money in spite of doing the right thing for a longtime customer.

My son and I recently built a computer using tomshardware.com and newegg. It was very simple. I found that if you want a cheap computer, just go to Best Buy or something. If you want one with some ponies, you better make it yourself (or spend too much money elsewhere).

It used to be a great deal for the buyer to get all this Free software when they bought a PC. But now, you don't get anything. Anything one would like, anyway. The software they do give can be replaced by OpenSource software.

You build a computer from the ground-up, you will be surprised how fast it is without all that junk companies like HP, Dell, Gateway, etc... put on it. Nothing on it, the way God intended.

Newegg has a DIY section. They match-up a couple or more pieces of hardware and give you a discount. If you find a combination you like (I found a Motherboard, Case, Processor, and DVD drive) and select it, you will be offered other items which are bought frequently with the items. I wasn't sure how to pick out memory, Newegg said that a particular brand of Patriot Memory worked well with my MB and CPU and was on sale, so I snagged it.

It was a lot of fun putting it together this way. I am looking forward to building an HTPC next.

Oh, newegg carries a wide variety of electronics. They have a "Shell Shocker" deal like every 4 hours (similar to woot). You can get Email updates, Text Alerts, or just go to newegg regularly to see whats on sale.

I attempted to order a LitePanels 1x1 SuperSpot LED light. I should have known the NewEgg price, which was well below vendors in the cinematic lighting industry, was too good to be true.

I placed the order complete with overnight shipping options then thought to follow up and request NewEggs $3 rush service. When I went back to the product page, the "in stock" note had changed to"out of stock."

Suspicious, I chatted one of the NewEgg support personnel. I was told there was a 1-2 day "processing time" before the order shipped and that orders for items out of stock may be cancelled. I could not get a clear answer whether my order would be honored or how the "processing time" worked when a customer requests overnight shipping.

Absolutely unacceptable procedure for an on-line merchant.

I purchased a software less than $50 in price an was promptly delivered after a few days. Then later my bank left 2 messages on my phone re: suspected fraudulent credit card activity and got an alert mail re: a $200+ credit transaction attempt by Newegg. When I called my bank they informed me that at least 3 attempt was done by Newegg to charge my credit card with the last attempt about $500+ which they all declined. So I checked the review about this site and found a similar incidence:

I have never and will never order from this site. I had someone use my Visa/Debit card to make a purchase with them. Very long story short is: I find the fraudulant charge and gather my own info to determine where the item was being shipped to. I notify the not so friendly or helpful customer service to advise them to stop the shipment because the purchase was a theft. They do this which only helps them out (I know, very nice of me to alert them). But when I try to get the info as to what was the purchase for totaling over $170.00, they tell me they can't give me any information because I don't have the thief's e-mail and password. So I ask them, "so it's ok that someone uses MY credit card, with My name, and MY phone number to make a purchase, and they can call you to get info about this transaction but I can't?" I was told yes, because it's their Newegg account... go figure.

So for me, doing business with this site is not worth it!
