I was just wondering if Newegg.com was a safe place to buy computer parts from.

I think it's the most linked to computer parts business here
Yep I'd say it's ok

Thanks ive ever bought anything off the internet before and it kinda sketches me out lol

Newegg is easily the Amazon.com of computer parts, so yes, it's a good place to get started.

I've bought thousands of dollars worth of computer parts from them over the past few years. It's as safe as it gets.

Someone new to buying on the Internet needs to know 3 things:

(1) Use a credit card. Credit cards are your friends. If something goes wrong, the credit card company will back you up unless you've done something outrageous. Don't use a debit card unless you are certain of your company's policies. The chance of losing your number to hackers is minuscule compared to the chance of having someone off line swipe it improperly, but nothing is 0. PayPal is good, too, but. if you have even the slightest concern, have PayPal charge you credit card rather than your bank account. Reason: Many (most? all?) credit card companies will view Pay Pal as the seller, so you don't have to worry about the seller skipping. Check with your company if you are unsure.

(2) Check out the seller (as you are doing here!).

(3) No matter how glowing the recommendations, READ THE SELLER'S RETURN POLICY CAREFULLY! New Egg is generally pretty good (I've made many purchases from them.) but they do not accept returns on laptops, for example. Some companies charge high restocking fees, to name another thing to be on the lookout for.

Once you start shopping on line, there's no going back! Whatever you want, it's all there!

I've bought about $10K worth of stuff from newegg and never had a problem..

Hi,

I also bought loads of components from them and the shipping is excellent and so is there customer service, i recommend them too without doubt good luck

Newegg is great.. Even better than credit cards and what I use is paypal. As a matter of fact I prefer sites that accept paypal as you never have to give out you credit/debit card online, hell all you need is a checking account to get a paypal account.

NEWEGG is my favorite place! i buy most of my hardware there. Very Reliable and great prices!
