Newegg is scaring me

[alextheawesome]

I just bought a Haf 932 because it looked like a good deal. I checked out and everything and it said the whole "order confirmed" thing, but i have yet to receive an email. My recent purchases doesn't show it. Could it be because it's midnight?

I recently purchased a hard drive from newegg (a couple of days ago), and it took several hours for them to send an e-mail and update the status. My guess is that they're really busy right now.

It's Black Friday... If you don't get an email by tomorrow, then you should be worried.

Black Friday is the start of the Christmas shopping season in the USA. It is also the busiest shopping day of the year. It is not unusual to experience delays in credit and debit card processing.

Last year I went to a Fry's Electronics store on Black Friday to purchase a television that was on sale. It was a bargain basement deal. The store was swamped with customers. I visit Fry's quite often and I had never seen so many customers in the store. I had a very long wait in line. Transaction processing was definitely slow. It didn't show up in my bank account until the following day.

Yesterday I woke up at 4:00 AM Arizona time. I went to the newegg web site and ordered ink cartridges for my printer that were on sale. No problem. Three hours later I went back to the web site. The web pages either wouldn't come up or came up very very slowly. Newegg and other online vendors must have been flooded with bargain hunters. They were back to normal last night.

Bought a Laptop through Newegg on Black Friday last year and it was Monday before the order was complete. Still got the laptop on the following Wednesday which was a pleasant surprise.

Don't panic. It's newegg. They wont screw you. I once received my order before I got my email with a tracking number.
