Ok, so we know newegg rocks. www.newegg.com = teh awesomeness

But how can they get better?

I suggest that since they have multiple shipping locations, they should be able to tell you where your product will be coming from so that you can then better determine what shipping method to use.

Example: I just placed 2 orders on newegg.com on sunday. By now, tuesday, both are showing a FedEx tracking number. One order is coming from New Jersey (really close to me) and the other is coming from California (that means far). If I knew the 2nd order was coming from California, I would have selected a faster shipping method. Why? The first order is a SATA hard drive. OEM. No cables. I realized this several hours after I placed the first order. So the 2nd order is for the cables. Effectively, my 1st order is useless untill I recieve my 2nd order. So even though the hard drive is coming from NJ and should be here tomorrow, I can't use it untill Friday at best. Maybe not even until next week.

 

pitty post.

 

thanks :reechy:

 

I agree, they should stock the same items in the NJ depot as they do in Ca.

 

maye nj is not in stock

 

Doubt it. I've counted 42 seperate orders looking at my Newegg receipts spanning 2.5 years. Orders shipped from NJ, 3.

 

or you could just go to the store and save on shipping charges all together.

 

one way is to not charge tax for californians like me...

 

Western Digital 120gb hard drive (apx prices within the past month)

Circuit City - $115 + tax(PA 6%) = $121.90

Newegg -$89 + $4.99(s&h) = $93.99

Savings = (apx) $27.91

 

off topic kinda, but...

I recieved a email once from Chiefvalue.com... and i looked at the email headers and the email originated from one of newegg's servers :eek3: Whois shows identical DNS info for the two sites :eek3:

some stuff is cheaper at chefvalue
