Just sharing my Newegg experience.
So Monday Feb 14 I place my order with newegg for my new comp build in the hopes that i would have it the following weekend.
Due to the shipping/billing address not being the same they withheld the processing for confirmation. I understand that this is for both parties involved protection but what i donot understand is the fact that they took 5 hours to inform me via Email there fore insuring another day wasted. Well i called and ended up canceling that order to redo the account on my wifes so they would match. Guess what they put a hold on my bank account for the original order.(Not a charge i understand but it still ties up a rather large sum of cash for 3-5 business days). So i called to get them to send a releasal notice to my bank and was told to get a fax number for my bank and send it to them in an email and they would take care of it. It has now been 4 days and they haven't sent anything to my bank regarding release of funds. Oh well tommorrow will be day 5 and should drop the hold itself.
Now concerning the new order with my wife's account/cc. I placed the order aprox 9:30 am tuesday the 15th with the extra charge for fast billing ( lol ) my cc was finally charged at 2/15 7:51 pm. glad a sprung for fast.
Now for packaging and shipping...
(Shipped from Edison, NJ)
Shipping Time: 2/16/2011 10:01:00 AM
So from order to ship it took them about 24.5 hours. Not bad if i hadn't paid for speedy service. I expected it to be shipped same day but now i wont receive my parts till after the weekend..
I have no idea what condition the parts will be in when they get here but for the most part people dont have an issue with that so I will keep high hopes.
All in all i can say that I won't be using newegg again as the simple act of buying thier Items has turned me off of them. If you are considering buying from newegg keep this in mind and also understand my experience may not be yours.
thanks
