Newegg.com voted best of year 2005 for online computer shopping
"The buzz around the Newegg.com offices is fantastic, and we're extremely grateful to receive this award from those we work hardest for... our customers" Howard Tong, Vice President of Newegg.com, said. "We are enormously appreciative of Computer Shopper's multiple distinctions. Going forward, we've recently launched some exciting improvements to our payment and product search capabilities and will continue to strive for perfection in 2006."
Of course this makes Newegg happy, and without sounding too pro-egg, it's well-deserved credit. They've consistently been a great source of parts with an easy to use site, easy payment, easy returns and usually an understanding of the technology.

NewEgg is definitly one of the most popular online computer parts retailers out there. With low prices and good delivery rates, NewEgg definitly deserves the nod. For those Canadians out there that don't have access to NewEgg, check out www.tigerdirect.ca. It's virually the Canadian equivalent of NewEgg, with great prices to boot!

Newegg over the past year has raised item prices, shipping prices, and their customer service has decreased marginally. I no longer instantly look at newegg for items.

I just can't help but feel that we who live in asia (south east asia, to be exact) are being left out. The online computer hardwares stores here sell what little items they have at a premium, with non existent support system.

Sweet! New egg definently is on my list, the top of it most of the time. As long as my budget allows i would preffer to buy from them, they're great! And their prices aren't bad, but they're not the only place out their. Let's see, i think i've bought a mouse, mke/headset, RAM, mobo......well yeah, i love new egg. They don't take very long to get youre stuff shipped, and as long as i've used them i've never had a problem.
-
Another reason to recommend NewEgg to everyone on the forums. Good work u guys!

I just sent my first order to them yesterday afternoon -- a Tsunami case and an Arctic Cooling fan for my vid card. They have already sent me three emails regarding the progress of my order and my stuff is already on a plane. When you add in shipping costs, they have the best prices around. So with great selection, great service and great prices, I think I've found a new first place to look when shopping for computer stuff.

newegg = love... i have purchased almost every electronic item in my house from them, and I've never had a problem or hold up..

Newegg is a great website for reference. Many websites may have cheap deals or huge discounts, but their descriptions on the products just stink, for lack of better word. Whenever I shop online, I always have Newegg in a tab in my browser so I can find out in greater detail what my product looks like and the specs.Now having said that, Newegg is a terrific e-store to shop... that is, if you don't live in California, Tennessee, or New Jersey. The tax always kills the deal for those living in a state that Newegg taxes on. Nevertheless, their service and customer support is outstanding and no other e-store I've encountered can compare to the fast response and calm demeanor in which the customer help section assist me in RMA or questions. Newegg really deserves this Shoppers' Choice Award for 2005.

I LOVE NEWEGG\lordbf1

Newegg is the best online shop that I have ever had the pleasure to shop from. They get everything right and any problems experienced is almost all the time due to the manufacturer, not Newegg.

Their shipping is rediculous, if you buy 2 sticks of ram seperately...they still charge you for both.

Yup, Newegg is subpar in the shipping department. They're actually one of the few e-stores I know that does not have a discount on multiple shipping items. Shipping may not seem much for one or two items, but buy in bulk and they start to pile up. Many buyers have said that what discount or slash in prices they have, they make up in shipping. How literal one wishes to take that, it's up to him or her. Newegg's customer service is extraordinary, I just wish their other departments would be as good.

I have been using newegg since they first opened on the web. They're still my "go to" retailer when I need something PC related. As much as I like them, they really need to fix their shipping cost calculation system. It just doesn't make any sense that adding a cable to a large order should increase shipping costs by $5.
-
They have great prices and great sweepstakes too!
-
They've always had my vote. My first acquisition from Newegg was a video card I won here (hint, hint).
Actually, their service is one of the best around and they've got decent prices. You might find lower on an individual item, but across the board, they win...hands down. -
I used to have no reservations about ordering from NewEgg.com, until I tried to get a timely replacement for a cpu fan that died only one year into a six-year warranty.Since you all read their FAQ page before you ordered from them ;-), you know that they will not cross-ship replacements. This means that they won't ship you a replacement for a warranted part before they receive your defective one. But what NewEgg DOESN'T post, is that they won't even allow a customer to pay for a replacement and be reimbursed for it once NewEgg receives the defective component!So if you buy from NewEgg something like a $20 cpu fan, and it fails while under warranty, be prepared to wait for many weeks until they receive your defective component, evaluate it, and only then (perhaps) ship you a replacement. NewEgg's customer "service" will not deviate from this unposted policy. My guess is, particularly in the case of a lower cost item such as a cpu fan, most people will just opt to eat the warranty and purchase a replacement out of their own pocket, in order to have their computer back up as soon as possible.So, consider yourselves warned!
