Thanks Newegg!

Hurrah! Thanks Newegg!

This is the first time I've even won something like this :giddy:

Yes definently, thank you newegg!

Thanks for your support, guys!

We're just glad to be given the opportunity to offer this quiz to the awesome TS community. We hope to offer more Quizzes like this one in the near future!

Hey agissi, we've generated your gift order for your prize. It will either ship out today or first thing tomorrow via FedEx 2 day Air. Enjoy!!

What would happen i managed to win something??? I live in the UK!!!!

Do you have any friends in the states that could ship it to you?

Do you have any friends in the states that could ship it to you?

Nope, which is why i have never bought anything from newegg either!!!!

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.

------
Thanks to everyone who participated and we hope that everyone has an enjoyable weekend! :)

thankyou newegg!!!

Awesome we even get 2Day air treatment! I cant wait, I've been needing a new set of speakers and a mic all together! Score :D

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.

Aww, but that means us fast people won't have as good a chance :p

But us slow people will have SOME chance. :) And your chances won't be any less than anyone else's. Besides, you've already won one. No need to win them all, although I'm sure you'd like too. lol

Rik, that's kinda lame aint it, mate? I won a contest in Australia on a internet station out of Sydney, and couldnt get the prize, 'cuz they only shipped in country... I'm in the southeastern US...

Thanks Newegg for this incredible support to our community! Hope to see more of these (free goodies) in whatever form you come up with :)

Yup, I just got my DVD burner in the mail, they didn't have the one they offered in stock so they gave me a better one. Thats what I call good customer service, especially seeing that it was a free gift :).

Thanks Newegg!

Jeez, it just keeps getting better and better.

Rik, that's kinda lame aint it, mate? I won a contest in Australia on a internet station out of Sydney, and couldnt get the prize, 'cuz they only shipped in country... I'm in the southeastern US...
ya know.. you could send it this way :D

In regards to the prizes, we’d love to hear from you…
Feel free to respond to this thread with suggestions of potential Prizes (item# on our website) for future Quiz prizes. We’d love to get some suggestions from you guys and gals!

Do keep in mind:


our allotted price range for the prizes:

we want to offer prizes that would "cover" the majority of readers



Congratulations to the winners--we hope you guys enjoy your prizes! :)

Would you ship to Canada if someone in Canada won?

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. :)
