Newegg coming to The Netherlands

[Guest]

Sorry it's Dutch, i couldn't find it in English

This is from Tweakers.net.

Newegg heeft tijdens Computex 2014 bekendgemaakt eind juni naar Nederland te komen. Het bedrijf is zich gespecialiseerd in de levering van computeronderdelen en software en het is een van de grootste internetwinkels van de Verenigde Staten.

Naast Nederland zet Newegg eind deze maand voet aan de grond in vijf andere landen: India, Ierland, Nieuw-Zeeland, Polen en Singapore. De winkel was al aanwezig in de VS, Canada, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Australië. Newegg liet al eerder weten uit te breiden in Europa, maar namen van landen werden toen nog niet bekendgemaakt. Dat heeft het bedrijf bij een rondetafelsessie tijdens Computex nu wel gedaan.

Newegg zal in eerste instantie vanuit de VS leveren aan de nieuwe markten, maar op termijn wil het bedrijf plaatselijk aanwezig zijn, om aan de lokale vraag te kunnen voldoen, zo hoorde CNet tijdens de sessie op Computex. Bij de komst naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk detecteerde Newegg automatisch wie er vanuit dat land de site bezocht om een, aanvankelijk beperkt, aanbod aan Britse klanten voor te schotelen. Na het kiezen van de gewenste valuta, bepaalt Newegg dan automatisch de btw en overige kosten, zoals verzendkosten.

De komst van de grote online computerretailer betekent meer concurrentie voor de kleinere computerwebwinkels in Nederland, en voor grotere shops als MediaMarkt, Bol.com en Wehkamp. De initiële levering vanuit de VS betekent dat de dienst niet op leveringstijden kan concurreren, maar mogelijk kan dat wel op prijs: in de VS staat de winkel bekend om de soms goede deals. Ook heeft de winkel in de VS soms bijzonder producten in zijn assortiment, die concurrenten niet aanbieden.

Newegg is gespecialiseerd in computers en pc-onderdelen, maar biedt ook kantoorproducten, consumentenelektronica, speelgoed, gereedschap en keukenapparatuur aan.

Newegg has announced the end of June to come to the Netherlands. During Computex 2014 The company specializes in the supply of computer equipment and software, and it is one of the largest online stores in the United States.

 

Besides Netherlands Newegg end sets this month foothold in five other countries: India, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland and Singapore. The store was already present in the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia. Newegg announced earlier to expand in Europe, country names were then not yet published. That the company at a roundtable session during Computex be done now.

 

Newegg will initially deliver from the U.S. to the new markets, but in the long term, the company is locally present, in order to meet local demand as CNet heard during the session at Computex. When coming to the UK Newegg detected automatically from that country who visited the site to UK customers to dish. An initially limited offer After choosing the desired currency Newegg determines automatically the VAT and other costs, such as postage.

 

The arrival of the big online computer retailer means more competition for the smaller computer shops in the Netherlands, and for larger shops like Media Markt, Bol.com and Wehkamp. The initial delivery from the U.S. means that the service can not compete on delivery times possible, but it can be appreciated that in the USA, the store known for some good deals. The store in the U.S. has some special products in its range, providing non-competitors.

 

Newegg specializes in computers and PC components, but also provides office products, consumer electronics, toys, tools and kitchen appliances to.

YES, newegg in nederland

[SirRoderick]

Oh that could be nice, shipping from the northern neighbours is pretty reasonable after all.

[emistery]

finally

[LukaP]

this may bring good shipping prices to here

[Syfes]

I'm really curious to see what "exclusive products" they'll offer. The market in europe is always behind on the North American market or sometimes never gets access to certain hardware at all.  *cough* razer blade *cough*... Maybe they'll find a way to break the geographical restrictions on some products?

[Rekx]

Nice! Glad to see more hardware online retailers in europe

[PortentousLad]

Oh come on, Germany is pretty much surrounded by newegg countries now just get here too and destroy media markt they suck! Plus I wanna work for newegg germany!

[smallfat]

This is really interesting for Singapore, since the pc hardware retailers here are selling parts WAY above the msrp converted from USD

[matin94]

when they said new egg in UK ,they meant we'll ship to the UK, and now its very limited, i wouldnt be surprised if its the same with netherlands.

just dont get your hopes up, unless theres a store actually opening there.

Well it does make sense for them to start off slowly. Offering their full range of products probably won't happen right away, but it could lead the way for expansion in the future.

Whoo

[matin94]

thing is, with the UK, if you ever wanted to buy anything from US or anywhere else, you probably would pay more, because you have to pay fuck tone of import costs. i got a T-shirt from valve for $20 (£12) and i had to pay £13 import costs when it came. for a laptop worth $1000, you have to pay $350 import cost. it almost never works out. this is why them having a store in the UK would make more sense, honestly i dunno anyone who would even consider ordering from newegg while living in the UK. what you said is right, moving slow is best to start of with, but i really dont think they're moving at all. especially how its very limited and the costs are crazy for import.

they could have opened 1 store in the capital first, a small store and then open more stores, that would have worked out better in the long term in my opinion

[drok]

Well i am not hyped at all. Eu has so freagin huge taxes that i dont think they will make a major competition here in The Netherlands and there are enough online pc parts stores already, its a walk in stores that we miss.

[jvkeizer]

Oh yes please , I often see products at Newegg that I want but can't get (at least not for the same price) in the Netherlands
