Purchased a subwoofer, 6 weeks later it died. Contacted Newegg - since I had purchased their 2 Year Replacement Extension Plan - was told that since it was after their 30-day warranty period I had to deal with the manufacturer. OK, I understand, but one would think that since I purchased an entire Home Theater speaker system from them (not inexpensive, either!), they would help. Especially since this was only 2 weeks past their 30-day refund exchange date. Nope; I was told that there are NO exceptions to their policy. They gave me the manufacturer's phone number.
But wait! Continue reading, and you'll be surprised!
I contact the manufacturer, which was a comedy of errors. This was not Newegg's fault.
Lo and behold, yesterday I received a RMA return authorization from Newegg! They were going to give me a full REFUND for the subwoofer. Of course, this was AFTER I had disassembled the subwoofer, and installed a new speaker (which was sent by the manufacturer - which is another story - luckily, I'm very handy and had the tools to do this - if I was a typical customer I wouldn't have been unable to do so due to the special screws used by the mfg).
REFUND? I purchased the 2 Year Replacement Extension Plan from Newegg, so I thought that I would be receiving a new subwoofer from them. Silly me. NEWEGG CANCELLED MY REPLACEMENT EXTENSION PLAN, and refunded me the cost. WITHOUT CONTACTING ME. Seems rather unethical.
