Who do you buy from?

I've always used newegg for my computer parts but I've seen some people switch to using Amazon.

Figured I'd ask to see if people use one over the other and why.

NCIX usually, since there's one close to where I live. Sometimes order parts from Amazon if the deals good.

Newegg is my preferred choice, but Micro Center is great as a brick and mortar store, Best Buy is good if the price is right/you can get them to price match and Amazon is Amazon.

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

Microcenter.

 

Sometimes I'll buy from Best Buy if they have a deal or something that I need quickly, since they are a lot closer than anywhere else.

Thanks for yalls replies. I mainly asked because I received this from UPS the other day and wasn't sure if it was newegg it UPS' fault. I was thinking of Amazon since I thought I could choose which shipping service I wanted (I prefer FedEx) but they don't allow you to choose the company anymore.

Luckily the parts weren't harmed, it was an ssd and wireless pci-x card.

Ebuyer, most of the time the same or similar prices as amazon. But they actually package things, instead of throwing them in a box.

Disclaimer : I might be wrong.

That's what I figured. A few air bags inside popped and let the box crush in. I figured it had to be them throwing a heavy box on top of it. I've never had a problem with newegg and will continue to use them, especially since I love getting cheaper next day service lol
