1 Standard Return Policy

* Return for refund within: 30 days
* Return for replacement within: 1 year

This is our Detailed Standard Return Policy. Unless another return policy is indicated, products sold by Newegg.com are covered by this Standard Return Policy. Merchandise under this Standard Return Policy may be returned a) within 30 days of the original invoice date for a refund, or b) within one year of the original invoice date for a replacement of the same item. All returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number. All items returned for a refund are subject to a 15% restocking fee.
Many manufacturers offer additional factory coverage. With regard to such, you should contact the manufacturer of your item directly for information regarding eligibility and specific Terms and Conditions.


2 Processors (CPUs) Return Policy

* Return for refund within: 7 days
* Return for replacement within: 30 days

This is our Detailed Processor (CPU) Return Policy. Physically damaged CPUs cannot be returned to Newegg.com.

Improper installation of CPU fans and/or improper clocking may cause CPUs to chip. CPUs that are chipped, burnt or have bent/broken pins are considered physically damaged and cannot be returned for refund or replacement. Physical damage includes (but is not limited to) improper handling and any other type of damage sustained by irregular use.

Newegg.com encounters bent pins regularly when inspecting physically damaged CPUs. Forcing a processor into position will not solve an installation problem and may void your Newegg.com return policy. Buyers requesting a refund may have to pay a 15% restocking fee. Newegg.com will not cross-ship replacement CPUs.

Sorry Rik, we're not set up to service the UK yet :(
Hopefully someday soon we'll be able to accommodate the tech needs and desires* of our UK friends as well. Unfortunately, in the meantime, we’d only be able to ship to an address in the states.

FYI: Quick Update on the Prizes:
Agissi and Boogityboo--your packages have just shipped out via FedEx 2 day Air.
Abcd—we’ve just generated your “gift” order, and it should ship sometime today.

Good for you guys! Congrats.

I originally saw this thread about 35 minutes after contest commencement and since it seemed to have three winning answers already, I didn't enter.

Suggestion: If you, Newegg, have another quiz, I'll bet you will get a lot more participation if you, say, select three random winners from all the correct answers submitted within a specified time period. That way it isn't a race for time. In any case, please don't interpret this as criticism. Your generosity has created a welcome fun element to these forums and how you structure your quiz is totally up to you, of course. It's much appreciated no matter what.

Would you ship to Canada if someone in Canada won?

11-21-2006, 06:10 PM
Hey N1Hawk,

We love our Canadian neighbors, but unfortunately, our contracts with UPS and FedEx aren't set up to deliver to Canada at this time. This being said, if you live in Canada, and did win one of our contests, you'd have to provide us with an address within the States or Puerto Rico. We know this is a drag, and we do apologize for any letdown . . . :(

Stay tuned though--we have plans to expand to Canada in the near future, but unfortunately do not have the means at this time. :)
