Yep, I gave them 75% of my PC hardware business before. This will bump it up even more.

Yeah good to hear about NewEgg, I do most of my online shopping with NewEgg and Amazon for customer support and price reasons, but good to know there's even more reason for NewEgg now.

Good for them. Newegg deserves a hand for this.

NewEgg is a great company to deal with.

Now there is even more reasons to use them.

I built my last two computers from exclusively 'New Egg' parts.
Returned many of them for an exchange, sometimes just changed my mind, never had a problem.
They're very fair, good prices, and have great customer service.
I wouldn't shop anywhere else, no reason to.

Love 'em.

I use Newegg for most of my PC and electronic purchases as well. I go to Amazon only if I can't find it anymore on the Egg or it's something the Egg will not carry.

Been a regular Newegg customer for a few years now. I live about 160 miles north of their NJ warehouse and 9 out of 10 times I order something in the morning and depending on how much I spent I choose free 3 day shipping, I get my product the next day. Yesterday I ordered memory, paid $5.99 for 3 day shipping and Fed-EX delivered it this morning at 8:30. That's incredibly fast even for Newegg.

It's the same for me, but to the south. The Edison NJ warehouse rocks. I have ordered a bunch of computer parts to put a computer together for my son, placed the order at 3 PM and it was delivered the next afternoon and I also paid for 3 day shipping.

Hopefully more companies will take this position now that NewEgg won their case.
