I've fallen for Newegg's slightly lower prices a few times, last two new items i ordered, both were opened up. 2nd one missing crucial parts that someone poked all of them out through the bag inside of the device's box.

2nd item was through a reseller though.

I don't use Amazon too often these days, but Newegg's lost me from these last few experiences. Their support basically said "meh" about both cases.



For a really long time (over a year) I was trying to get my oders to be shipped to an address in California, Daly City. I had 30% success rate. I have called Amazon several times but they gave me bullshit. I figured out that the delivery guy was stealing all of the shippment and I could prove it. Amazon did not care. After a while I just stopped ordering anything because it is impossible to get delivery there. All of the shippments were arriving to a different address few miles from that one. Funniest part that the shipping company was actually owned by Amazon.


Were your orders being stolen or were they being shipped to another address? You comment was a little conflicting.


Being stolen. Reported delivered all the time. Once I went and followed the delivery truck and checked when the guy reported it delivered. When I confronted the driver he said he got lost.


you missed the item condition?

on Amazon it's the same if you buy from anything that doesn't say "sold and shipped by amazon". quality and return policy is a crapfest.


Condition was listed as "new", via Newegg. Both times.
