They are good with shipping and customer service. I usually get something from them within 2-3 days through the standard shipping.

I've used Newegg for years and have always had a good experience with them. I can't recall having a single problem over the years.

I bought from them once, shipping took a while. Prices are kinda high.

 

Whenever I need to buy some tech related thing online, I usually just buy at NCIX and price match. IDK if Newegg has a price match thing though.

 

 

I just prefer NCIX for the most part. Partly because they're a Canadian company while Newegg isn't....

In my experiences Newegg is pretty fast. Not Amazon fast but fast enough. It is essentially where I have ordered everything for my computers for the past 13 years. Where I live there are no local computer shops (cough... best buy.. cough) so online is where I have to go anyway. There or Amazon are the two places, I stick with Newegg if the prices are the same because I have to pay sales tax with Amazon (WA State).

To be the contrary opinion here, I've pretty much sworn them off after a few bad experiences me and my friends have had. They're great until something goes wrong. I had a monitor that got lost back in the Christmas time UPS/Fed-ex forgetting how to ship stuff situation. I called them the day after Christmas, and they refused to send another unit even though they awknowledged that it was lost in the mail and said they'd need 1-2 weeks to sort it out, then they could process a replacement at that time. Then, they shipped a new GPU to an old address that was still on file with them even though I had selected the one that I wanted them to ship it to. They said if you didn't remove it completely, there was no guarantee they wouldn't ship it there, then charged a a 20% restocking fee when they got the card back because the apartment complex where it was sent sent it back. a 20% fee for a shipping error where they got the product back unopened is crazy.

NewEgg has been great to me. RMA'd a few things that had manufacturing defects but overall extremely positive experience with them. They ship pretty darn quickly too.

Always have had a good experience from Newegg. Timely shipping and good customer service. I have every only had one issue with a shipment from them, and they promptly took care of it. After I called their customer support, the missing item was on my doorstep the next day). A+ in my book.

I've used both them and Amazon and I have never really had any issues with either of them. Newegg has much better searching capabilites and a larger selection but I'm an Amazon Prime member so I get Free 2-day shipping on a lot of items. I really do prefer to buy locally but that's just not feasible for me due to where I live.

Amazon and newegg are pretty much the only stores that I end up using these days for those two reasons. I'll start my search on newegg because of their better website capabilities, then compare prices to Amazon.

Newegg has to offer a better price, though (more than a few dollars) for me to not use Amazon. It's not that I'm impatient and prefer Prime shipping, but there's Smile.Amazon.com as a big incentive to fund my favorite charity with no additional cost to me. Amazon doesn't pay a large percentage, but it's infinitely larger than zero percent.
