    I recently purchased all the components for a new computer. The Asus ROG Maximus IX Code LGA1151 mobo (**) was one of my purchases and was broken when I received it. They shipped me a physically broken motherboard. (A screw on the back of the mobo connecting the back to the front had been over-tightened, presumably by the manufacturer, and broke the plastic housing it was in.) As such, I went through the RMA process and returned it.

    First, they say, "Please allow 2-5 days for processing once Newegg.com has received your return." It took 10 days and multiple follow-ups to get it processed, double their promised "maximum." Second, Newegg rejected the RMA saying, "Unfortunately, the item(s) was physically damaged and beyond the applicable Newegg.com warranty coverage as indicated in our Standard Warranty Policy." They shipped me a physically broken motherboard and now want me to deal with the manufacturer? How is this acceptable business practice? That's like Target telling me to go talk to Sony because Target sold me a broken TV! They make you wait double their promised RMA processing time and then tell you it's not their problem they sold me a damaged product?

    Additionally, I had to pay to have it shipped back! While I haven't had a problem with Newegg before, I've never received damaged product before either. I now know what other people meant when they commented on Newegg's customer service. I would recommend steering away from Newegg. You can find almost all the same products for less money on Amazon, your local store, or other retailer. The same motherboard was available on Amazon for slightly less. Additionally, Amazon's next day shipping charge was $8.99. Newegg's is over $40. Part-way through the RMA process I just bought it off Amazon because I needed a working computer right away. I still can't believe "it's not Newegg's problem they sold me a damaged product."

    I ordered a product from Newegg for my son in Tennessee. Newegg stated shipping in 1 to 3 days. The product was not provided by Newegg, but by a Marketplace supplier 123Stores subcontractor. I had no notification that the product had shipped. When I contacted Newegg they disavowed responsibility but said they had canceled the order. The next day Newegg sent an email saying that my credit card had been charged. I contacted Newegg again to get a tracking number. I still have no proof that the item shipped and will file a fraud claim if it has not. I will not use Newegg again.

    Ordered 2 internal pci cards for my home computers from Newegg (Kingsmore). Little did I know at the time that this was a 3rd party Newegg China company. Needless to say 6 weeks later my order still showed as "shipped" and no evidence of such a tracking number or item. Finally had to go thru refund process (over a week, really Newegg??). NOT the way to do business. After 7 years of purchasing thru Newegg I have lost any confidence in them. Amazon and Best Buy will now get any future business of mine.

    Newegg has issued a refund.

    Original Review: March 28, 2017

    I ordered a M.2 SSD from NewEgg a while back. The performance of the drive was terrible no matter what I did. So I requested an RMA and was approved. I packed the drive up in the original packaging and returned via UPS with their shipping label. A week later I get an email from NewEgg stating that I returned an empty box and that they would not be refunding my money. Now I am out the SSD and $330. After researching the issue on this and other consumer protection sites, I have to say I am shocked at how unethical NewEgg seems to have become. I am very much not alone in my issue. I recommend cutting all ties with this company.

    I purchased a monitor from Newegg and it broken within 3 weeks. They send me a FedEx label to return it for a full refund (got that in writing). They rejected the return because the box was somehow missing some serial number (presumably by being shipped twice). HOW CAN A CUSTOMER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR that? They then argued there was a 3rd party vendor (Laptops4Less) and that Newegg wasn't the seller even though I paid them (my credit card receipt reflects this).

    They send the defective laptop (the fact that it's defective isn't in dispute) back to me to dispose of! So on top of being stolen from, I'm supposed to pay to recycle the thing. I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will sue them in small claims court if those folks do nothing. I should say that getting the shipping label and written assurance that the return would be accepted for a full refund took hours. This company is slimy. I didn't want to give it even 1 star. I give it a negative 5 stars!

    What's to like about Newegg? Nothing. I ordered a cat tree from Newegg almost a month ago. It was supposed to be shipped within 5 to 7 business days. No sign of it yet. I checked their website and all they show is "in transit". The USPS site shows that a shipping label was created, but there is no tracking information beyond that. I'm very familiar with online shopping, and I know that the tracking information should be there, indicating the item was sent to a sorting facility, out for delivery, etc. I have been ignored during chat sessions. Customer service is terrible! NEVER buying from Newegg again. I will get a refund through PayPal. Thank goodness they watch out for buyers!

    3 weeks after order was placed, I contacted customer service to inquire about/cancel the order. Upon cancellation, an email from a 3rd party supplier was sent to notify me that the order had just shipped. Spoke with another agent at Newegg the same day and was informed that it was up to me to cancel with supplier, which I did. Minutes later, I received another email from 3rd party with tracking information. Spoke with yet another agent at Newegg who made it clear that the onus was on me to cancel order. Received (cancelled) order today. Contacted Newegg and was told there was nothing they could do, and once again had to contact the supplier for an RMA. Was told there is a 15% restocking fee. After speaking with agents, I knew in my gut that this would not end well. Super sketchy. Do NOT purchase anything from them.

    So I am building my pc and some of the very last pieces I need are my ram cards. I saw they had some pretty cheap but good ram cards so I ordered them from here. I'm trying to get my build done as soon as possible so I figured I'd pay for 2 day shipping so I could try to finish up. 2 days come around and they still aren't here so I go to check on the tracking and they hadn't left the facility. I started wondering why they hadn't left or anything until I was informed after the fact that Newegg's "2-day shipping" isn't that whatsoever.

    In the support page, they state that it's 2 business day shipping but for some reason they don't put that out there when at the checkout screen. And it's not even two day shipping! It's 2 day shipping but you have to wait a day for processing! So you are paying $15 dollars to get scammed out of shipping as fast as possible, have to wait a day for your order to process, and then you can order it in Thursday or you won't get it until next Tuesday or Wednesday! This is an absolute scam of a website. I was always told to order everything from here but I will never do such a thing again. They may be cheap prices because they scam you in the shipping and handling. Will never order from here again.

    After an exasperatingly large number of wasted hours dealing with this, both NewEgg and the vendor eventually did help me and made everything right. They were nearly impossible to reach, and every problem took many, many emails, phone calls and arguments.
    At this point it is what it is. I withdraw my complaint- but also warn that Newegg might be ok at getting product to customers, but they are not well equipped to deal with problems. At least they did the right thing in the end - - but no one can give me back my wasted hours and energy, which is a problem for me as I am a one person company struggling to make ends meet. Time is as precious as money.

    From the beginning, dealing with this company was impossible. FIRST PROBLEM: They emailed the invoice but I was unable to open their weird attachment, and so I could not print, and I needed the invoice for taxes. They refused to include the invoice in the box, and they refused to print it and put it in the mail. NEXT PROBLEM: Defective products. NEXT PROBLEM: They gave me a return number, but no shipping label. Because I am not a big company, I can't get the same shipping rates and return shipping will cost as much as the product.

    NEXT PROBLEM: I tried repeatedly to contact them for shipping label. They have no phone contact, and never answered email. NEXT PROBLEM: I finally got customer support on a chat window. They said they are a marketplace and the seller had to send the label. I asked for seller contact info and they closed the chat window. NEXT PROBLEM? I just filed a dispute with my credit card company. We shall see.

    I bought my daughter a refurbished laptop for school work in Nov 15 with a 2-year service plan. It was advertised with Windows 7 professional. It came with Windows 7 Home edition loaded. The unit had issues out of the box and completely died by Feb 2016, still under vendor warranty. I had complained and sent reviews to Newegg about the false advertising from day 1. They blocked the review and did not respond. It took a couple weeks of prodding to get the computer replaced when it failed and I got stuck with paying partial shipping, as Newegg capped shipping reimbursement at $15. The replacement also came with Windows 7 Home.

    The hard drive failed again in February 2016. I had to dig and make phone calls to Newegg to get the extended warranty coverage as Newegg does not share it with you at the time of purchase. I found out Mywarranty.com was the actual service company. I called them, got a return authorization and mailing label on the spot. They will not repair the computer, they issue a replacement credit with Newegg to replace the computer. I was ok with this seeing the first one is junk. They said the credit would be issued 2-3 days after the Laptop SHIPPED.

    I contacted Mywarranty.com 2-3 days after the unit was RECEIVED by them as I had yet to receive my credit. I got a response back stating it takes 5-7 business days. I shipped the computer Feb 16. They received my computer on Feb 20th. It is now March 2nd, with no credit issued and neither company will give me an update on the status. I had service warranties from a major competitor in which they would repair and return laptops with 5 day turn around and all shipping paid.

    Newegg failed to deliver the same item 2 times. The item not delivered was part of a promotion, buy the item and receive another item free. However, the original invoice split the charge erroneously. When I refused to have the failed delivery item delivered for the third time, they only issued credit for less than half of the value, by their voodoo math. I offered to return, at their expense, the free item, unused, but they refused to accept. Now I'm out my original cost, plus I don't have the missing items from these thieves. The use of voodoo math worked in their favor. Last purchase from me for Newegg and I will seek restitution through the Attorney General for them and shout their bait and switch attitude from the rooftops for stealing my money.

I returned the computer in the original box and condition the next day after receiving it. They took $100 as a punishment for returning a poor quality computer. That's why I will never order anything from them anymore. It was my first time to order any item from the company.

    I warn anybody willing to purchase any computer from Newegg to read the customer reviews first. I highly recommend Amazon because they will always refund the money without any penalties. I recommend customers to check with Amazon for any item they need to order. They will never regret. That is why Amazon is having good profits because they are trustworthy.

    Purchased a $200 gaming video card. After Newegg shipped to wrong address, they issued a replacement. It had been advertised with a rebate, so we followed instructions to clip UPC bar and send in rebate. Two days later, supposedly new video card started flickering endlessly and gave way. Newegg claims because we sent in UPC, they cannot take it back. Could I possibly be in the twilight zone? They tell you to send in UPC for a rebate but don't tell you that makes product unreturnable? Highly deceptive, can't believe this isn't illegal. What a bunch of jerks. Never will buy from them and wish as so many customers did, that I had read the numerous terrible reviews.

    I purchased a computer and the associated extended warranty for my disabled son.The computer was damaged. I contacted the warranty company, ServiceNet; they advised they would send a return box. The box did not arrive and a week later they called and told us to return it to the manufacturer, and they were closing the claim. I began another claim with ServiceNet about December 20th and was advised the box would be coming. On January 4th the box still did not arrive. I contacted Newegg and was given an RMA number.

    I returned the computer on January 5, 2017. Newegg contacted us several days later stating this was the wrong RMA type and that they would send it back and we needed to return under a new RMA #. Once the laptop arrived back, we received an email asking for further details. We responded with a phone call on January 24 and were advised that a new RMA number would be issued and they would refund the purchase. At this point, I purchased a new laptop from another vendor. Today we were advised they will not refund the purchase. I am now left with a nonfunctioning computer for which I purchased an extended warranty.

    I ordered an open box item and it did not work. I did the online RMA and it told me 3-4 months for a replacement part so I called the joke of "Premier" customer service to see how I could get the item sooner. After overcoming the language barrier, I was told to buy a new one at full cost and wait for a shipping label and new RMA for a refund vs the exchange I had previously got. I tried for months to get his label but could not break the language barrier. They hear one word in a sentence they understand and read scripted responses until you say yes.

    I finally got the shipping label and returned the item. Take is even marked by them as being an open box, and they declined my return saying that I did not return the open box item, despite it being labeled by them as an open box. They are insisting that I originally ordered a full price one and I tried to return it when I found it cheaper as open box even though their documentation shows the open box was ordered first. Nobody at this company understands a bit of English. Avoid this company, if you have a problem it will never be resolved.

    Returned a refurb desktop computer for a replacement. This computer would turn itself on daily at the same exact time, quite scary. The hard drive was noisy and from my experience on its way out. The Windows OS authorized number was not given. With the computer, I received the China made cheap keyboard and mouse. I never opened up the keyboard package. Returned all items, as well as, my wireless mouse's USB adapter still in the computer's USB port. Called Newegg about the USB adapter, and get this, they found it and returned it to me. Well, TY. But then they fabricated a story that the keyboard was missing thus "Incomplete Return". I have searched my home and there is no keyboard in a box lying around. Why would I knowingly keep their keyboard? I am overrun by keyboards as it is.

    Now this is the deal or should I say RAW DEAL, I will be receiving the same computer minus the keyboard perhaps. No satisfaction. I am being ripped off. It is in their best interest to deny my return because of the deal I got in the first place and the cost for them to fix a refurb and to send me replacement is way more than what I paid. It's easier for NEWEGG TO LIE about the package and send back the piece of junk they sold me. First time buyer at Newegg and it's my last.

    I ordered a refurbished, hybrid laptop. It's fine, but the whole experience was terrible otherwise. I paid $5.99 for three-day shipping, but once I got tracking info (which was not actually sent to me via e-mail until the package was already delivered; I had to contact Customer Service to get it), the delivery date was a whole week out. They do not mention during checkout that 1-2 extra days will be tacked on for "packing and processing." I immediately demanded my money back, and they refunded my shipping cost after trying to give me a gift card instead.

    I wrote an e-mail to Customer Service describing my negative experience, and the rep that responded seemed to think this was all okay because the extra days are mentioned in tiny text in the confirmation email.

I called them back immediately and said they never fixed it and with the courier there and back to Alberta more than 30 days had gone by despite the laptop being in my possession for about a week. They said for this reason they won't take the laptop back again. They basically treated me like I was lying saying that the laptop didn't work when it was their incompetent tech department that never diagnosed or repaired the problem.

    They told me there was no way they would do anything for me and I had to contact the manufacturer. At this stage it had been more than a month since I paid for it and I didn't have a working laptop and newegg. ca refused to assist me at all.

    I'm gonna start off by saying Newegg has great products and great service when it comes to getting your orders, making transactions, and overall punctuality with response times. Okay that's great and all, but where does that leave returns and refunds? Dead. It's a lost cause as far as I'm concerned. For Christmas I ordered a PC parts list for both my Gf and I. I wanted to surprise her on xmas and build her a nice gaming PC and also some upgrades to go along with my current system. The order went smooth as ever. All my items arrived on time. Everything I got was what was advertised. Great! This is where Newegg shines from my experience.

    Okay so after doing a boot test on the motherboard I purchased, it was dead. No post. (Which is something I've always taken into consideration. If you're gonna buy something don't expect it to always work.) So I thought no big deal. I'll go ahead a place it in an RMA pile. Next thing that happen was the backplate for the liquid cooler I purchased was missing. Again a little disappointed. But oh well. These things happen. Again into the RMA pile. To shorten this part of the story. I ended up returning three items. Mobo, cooler and a low profile power supply that didn't fit the case I purchased. AGAIN no big deal. I get it. Problems happen with components.

    So around 12/05/16 I printed my free RMA label, boxed everything and it was at the post office that morning. Great. So 3 days go by and I notice their tracking number they gave me for the RMA is invalid. Thought maybe it hasn't reached the facility yet. So I wait longer. Now a week has passed. Still nothing. The return should have arrived by now. At the least in the beginning of unboxing and processing each item. So I contact Newegg through email. I get a response 3 days later. (Again still nothing on my RMA.) I'm asked to give them screen shots of this Return because they haven't received this package yet. So I do. Another week passes. Now keep in mind... You get 14 days from shipment to receiving for the RMA to be valid. It's been over 14 days now since the item hasn't reached the facility yet! So where did my return go?! I've never had problems with the post office. I made sure the item was handed to a person there to be processed.

    Now I'm getting an email again from Newegg. They're telling me they are having trouble locating the tracking number for this Return and that it's possible the carrier had an error. Still waiting on a response now. Either way the RMA is void. The package will be returned to me most likely and I'll have to start this process all over again. From now on. I'm sticking with the manufacturer's warranty with each product. It might take longer. They might charge for shipping and labor. But at least you get something in return for the troubles. I recommend other Newegg consumers to do the same.

    Paid $25 extra for "next day delivery". Paid another $3-5 for "rush processing". 24 hours later, item hasn't even shipped. CS offers to refund the shipping fee - which is no help. If I wanted slow, free shipping, I'd have ordered Amazon. I spent extra twice to get my item quickly as the website promised. They don't know when my item might ship - or arrive. Never again. At least with Amazon I could have reliably had it a day later. I will absolutely never spend a dime with Newegg again.

The last cartridge I ordered creates a crum error and won't work in the printer. This is not my ordering error but a deficiency in the product or incorrect specs.

    Newegg will accept a return but will charge me over $15.00 for shipping and restocking. I tried to "chat" online to no avail. I asked for a call back from customer service but when it came they put me on a static hold until I finally hung up. This wasn't my mistake and they just lost my business over $15.

This in itself is a total scam as they will eventually resend this to the manufacturer now that I have stated there is a problem. So they scam the customer for 15%. Next I ask the agent if I can use the money to buy something else with Newegg, so as to avoid the restocking fee, if losing the business is what Newegg is worried about. They will not honor that request as well. I asked them can I at least use the amount to buy something else directly, without refunding to the original payment method. They decline to do that too.

    So effectively, Newegg does not care about customers or their satisfaction. They just need to scam you out of every possible cent. There is a reason why Amazon grew up to the monster that it is today. It was my mistake to take that stupid American Express Credit Card offer to buy in Newegg. I would personally stay out of American Express and Newegg.

    I decided to order an item on December 15th for my fiance as a christmas present. I got multiple emails. Order received, payment applied, item shipped with tracking number. Cool. They were pretty quick. Fast forward to the next day - might as well check the tracking so I get an idea where it's at. "Packaging" okay. So maybe UPS/USPS/FedEx hadn't picked it up. I'll check the next day. "Packaging". Five days later it still says "Packaging" and when I check the tracking number thru USPS which it says it going thru it says "STATUS NOT AVAILABLE. The Postal Service could not locate the tracking information for your request. Please verify your tracking number and try again later." I'm currently on hold waiting for a rep to answer the phone, I also have the live chat open. My current wait time is 42 minutes and 6 seconds. I will definitely never go through Newegg again. Recommended by a friend who's never had any issues. But this is ridiculous.

    Bought a refurbished Vizio TV from NewEgg. They sent a defective unit. Got them to finally exchange it. Took them 10+ days. They sent a second defective unit. Will not accept a return for the second defective unit stating their policy is that the return period starts from date of original purchase invoice (first defective TV). Needless to say by the time they send the second defective TV, the return period was over. Due to this flawed policy they are saying I must keep the defective TV. This is a scam.

    We purchased an Acer computer monitor from Newegg. It came with flaws (pixel issues). We sent it back the way it came and asked for an exchange. We also purchased a 3 year warranty. It got damaged in shipping and they refused to send us a new monitor and not give us a refund. We contacted Acer and they wouldn't do anything either. Even with the 3 year warranty which Newegg sent us the coverage, saying the warranty covered part, labor, and even a replacement they did nothing. They blamed us for poor packaging. We finally settled on a $390 restocking fee losing almost half of our purchase price. I can't believe a company can run this way. Beware of buying anything from Newegg and Acer. They could have done the right thing and just exchanged it, but they chose to be cheap and try to keep all of our money. Go elsewhere to purchase any computer needs.

    I purchased computer parts from Newegg and was charged $59.99 for a "free gift" of a video game. They tried to explain how the charge was created as part of a discount, but the "discount" was never explained or advertised at the time of purchase. When I asked for a refund of the $59.99, I was denied. I have disputed the charge with my bank. On one order, $59.99 is subtracted from the total, therefore constituting the "discount" they believe is being applied. However, the same $59.99 charge then shows up separately under another order resulting in a net charge to me that is unchanged, all for a "free gift" of Watch Dogs 2 (a video game) that I never asked for. I asked for a credit when they said they could not refund the charge, and they likewise refused. I have been saving for over a year to build my first pc, and I was happy when I found everything seemingly affordable on Newegg.

    I have ordered many items from Newegg but have always been disappointed with their shipping. Their free shipping is 4-7 BUSINESS days which doesn't count the 1-2 day processing time. Everything I have ordered with free shipping has taken longer than I desire. I had everything built for my computer except for one item: a CPU cooler. I placed the order on 11/24 along with an SSD. I got the SSD on the 30th (fairly swift). The CPU cooler was listed for 12/3 at the end of the day. Once it didn't arrive I checked tracking to find that it was still in Illinois traveling between FedEx locations and had been there since 11/30. I should mention it was listed as FedEx SmartPost. Ironic considering the huge logistical errors.

    FedEx eventually updated the delivery status from pending to Thursday 12/8, 5 days after the original date which was already 7 business days not counting the 1 day processing fee. So here I am complaining after free shipping. But Amazon continues to impress with free 2 day shipping for prime members. While Newegg can't deliver in 7 days. Sure it's a FedEx problem but the lack of support and assistance I received from Newegg in this matter was discouraging as a customer; as if my order didn't matter. "Talk to FedEx" they said, I did and they didn't help either. So I had to wait a week before I could use my PC I built. Very sad.

    Bought Samsung UN50KU6300FXZA 50-inch 2160p 4K UHD Smart LED TV black (2016) from Newegg on Black Friday. I was very happy to get an awesome deal on it. It was delivered within 2 days. Unfortunately, when we opened the box there was a big scratch on the TV screen. So I contacted the Customer Care and asked for a replacement. I had to wait for 2 hours to get to talk to a representative and then spent nearly 3 hours discussing the issue, sending pictures of the damaged item.

    In the end I was told that they will issue a replacement for me. After 2-3 days I got email from Newegg stating that I will only be given the refund, no replacement, because the item is on back order or something. They have nothing to offer me other than dry apology. To my frustration, I now won't be able to buy that TV anywhere at that price. And I have wasted all my money, time, energy for no reason. Plus now I have to send that huge box on my own to complete the return and get my money back. I have to suffer for Newegg's deliberate mistake. This was my first purchase at Newegg and will surely be the last as well.

I have no time to wait for a new supply, so I canceled the order. Monitor # 2: In stock, but the seller (US Micro) shipped a different, lower quality monitor; and, it's cheaper on Newegg's site. US Micro has a telephone # that is useless, all of my many call did not go through from where I live. Consumer reports gave Newegg a good review, but I have written a lot of Customer Service training material, Newegg offers no support to customers with seller issues, they stay out.

    I have to recommend against using Newegg.com. I have had nothing but a bad experience with their entire process, from paying, to shipping (or lack thereof). This review does not reflect on the individuals I spoke with, as they were kind and tried to help. I ordered some computer components on the morning of TUESDAY November 29th after signing up for their premier membership. I chose RUSH processing and OVERNIGHT shipping. I needed this order by THURSDAY, DEC 1. My first issue was when trying to pay. They, for some unknown reason, use a separate website for verification of credit card payments. This started as an oddity, and quickly became an issue as my payment was declined by my bank for suspicious activity. I had to call into customer service to have them resubmit after spending much time in figuring out what exactly I had to do.

    After that got resolved, I waited a day before checking my account to see the status of the shipment. To my dismay, it still said "Packaging". I called customer service again to find out why it hadn't been sent, and they simply told me that they cannot call the shipping team only email. She emailed them and told me I would hear back in 2 days at the latest. I never heard back. Today (12/2) I called as my order still said packaging. I asked them to find my order, and cancel it if they are unable to give me a proper shipping date/time. I was placed on a hold for a few minutes before the agent came back to simply inform me the order was cancelled. I clarified with him that I wanted a status update first. He apologized and proceeded to talk to a manager. Minutes later, I got an email stating that the FREE DIGITAL GAME that came with one of my components was out of stock, so it cause them to cancel my order.

    When the agent came back on he informed me that an order has to go out altogether. Otherwise they will cancel the order if any one thing was out of stock. I found it interesting that the shipping team could so quickly email me now, 4 days later instead of informing me from the get go, or during the multiple times I called looking for an update. They have some SEVERE deficiencies in the process, and it needs to be resolved. I will no longer shop with Newegg.com.

    First time ordering with Newegg and I'd thought I'd take advantage of their Black Friday sales.

A few hours later, I received an email saying they had cleared up the issue on their end, but I could now reorder everything. Except half the items were either no longer on sale or in stock.

    Their phones were no longer running that day, so I waited an hour and a half just to chat with a lady who kept saying there was nothing she could do for me, not even make sure my future orders weren't cancelled without warning. On top of that, she even dared to imply I was at fault for not checking my order status every second to catch the moment it was voided.

    I have been shopping at NewEgg for many years (at least 15). I buy the vast majority of my computer components from them, and I have built several systems over the years. I would say my success rate with functioning components is at least 98 percent. My purchases have always been shipped and received promptly. When I have contacted reps at the company, I have always received an answer. I've had to return a few things and I got my money back without any problems.

    With that said, I just can't understand how so many people could give such negative reviews on this company. Do you really expect perfection? Hey, they're a huge organization. Not everything will go smoothly. Well, believe what you want. The best review to read is from someone like me who has spent as much money as I have, and over so many years. You can get a better idea of the quality of a company that way over someone who has made only one or two purchases. I highly recommend this company. I still price shop on their competitors' websites, but most of the time, if it's computer related. NewEgg ultimately gets my business.

    I have just gone through a week and 15 or more attempts to order computer parts from Newegg and was constantly refused because the default billing address was not the same as the one on my credit card even though I kept changing the default address to the right one over and over. It seems that when you select a different mailing address from the billing address the system changes the billing address to the mailing address and the credit card is rejected because of this. Mind you that I had made numerous purchases to the account at Newegg with the billing address not being changed by the mailing address.

    Finally, I talked to Matt in customer and he was awesome in his patience and professionalism. Also he was very knowledgeable, telling me about a little tick box at the bottom of the billing page that notifies the system at Newegg that the billing address and mailing address are different. Where is the tick box? After the credit card info box just below the screen after the proceed to checkout box. Who would look there? After all that tick box should be located on the previous page where you select the shipping address. Imagine that.

    I spent an entire week calling and attempting everything in the book to resolve this problem of the billing address changing to the mailing address and nearly pulled my hair out in so doing. Why would you ever change the billing address that is linked to your credit card and bank you use to purchase things since you can't order anything if that is changed. I do not feel stupid because I could not figure this out for a week. After all you can't find the phone number to talk to a human at Newegg. Ssssssh, it's a secret you know. For all the hype about their great service, they sure don't provide it, that is until you turn blue first. Thank you Matt for your patience and knowledge. You are a true asset for Newegg.

    I tried to build a computer with parts I bought exclusively from Newegg.com. I was extremely dissatisfied with the level of service I received. I tried to be organized and obtain my shipment as one package to save them and myself time and money, but I noticed that several of my parts came in dead on arrival (DOA). That's fine, so I submitted an RMA claim, got some packages to ship them back in, and did so using their prepaid shipping label. That worked out alright, the day after I shipped my RMA parts back they received it the day after - BUT, it took until another week to ship me back my replacement parts since they had to put it in its exact place in their warehouse. So, I'd get a text from my shipping company, stating that they received the package, but then I'd have to wait an extra week to get my RMA replacement product. Very poor customer service.

    After getting my replacement products, I just kept getting DOA parts again. I understand that this is not within Newegg's control, but with respect with what they do control, namely how long and arduous the RMA process is, it can be really frustrating if you want to get your computer build going. If you keep getting DOA products through bad luck, you have to deal with Newegg's poor customer service. You have to wait an especially long time to get the products. I could understand if you spent $10 and had a difficult time because that's such a small amount of money, but it really sucks when you spend thousands of dollars on parts for a new build, only to be treated very poorly. There should be better incentives for those who get bundled products from Newegg.

    The worst part is that if you just have one part that keeps coming in as DOA, you have to send in the whole shipment/bundle to get a refund, or you can only get that one part replaced. This isn't just for "combo" deals, if you choose to just get a bunch of products shipped into one order, you can't just refund one of the products in that list. If you keep getting DOA products, there isn't any kind of "no lemon guarantee", you just have to keep rolling your dice and hoping you eventually get a functional product, which is an extremely unhealthy approach that the customer needs to take.

    I know that it's the product manufacturer's fault that the products are DOA, but, I still place blame on Newegg because they don't give incentives like coupons or discounts if you have to wait lengthy periods for your order or keep getting DOA products. It's unacceptable in today's world. My online business, which relies on me using a working computer, has been set back significantly due to the sheer number of poor products I've been receiving from Newegg and I'm quite happy to say that I'll be choosing another retailer to obtain my computer parts in the future.

All this time, I have to pay for a used, damaged and defective product that does not work.

    I ended up having to file a dispute with my Credit Card Company as they gave me no choice. This is really bad business holding a customer hostage while they file a claim with their shipper.

    My experience with Newegg does not even deserve 1 star. If the product you received was not fully functional and needed to be replaced or returned, prepare yourself for a horrible return process and it might or might not resolve your problem. It will take multiple phone calls with multiple customer representatives, and multiple explanations for no immediate solution to the problem. The first call will ask you to call back within a few days, and then another few days, and next thing you know, you don't know when you will get the replacement or refund. This is the first time I buy anything from Newegg and it will be the last time.

Takes me weeks to get something 1 state away, where even any other website would get it to me in 1-2 days like actually how it takes. I've never had one on time shipment. Price changes everyday. I see something I want, bookmark it, 2 hours later it another 10 more dollars.

    This happens all the time. Overall Newegg is poorly ran, couldn't be ran any more poor. There isn't any strong points about this company anymore. It's crumbling into dust, and it's up to you and me to not shop here and watch it as it does such. Your money is so much safer and better spent elsewhere 100% of the time. Even if you don't totally agree with my experiences, just think, is Newegg.com something you brag about? Or talk about being awesome? Very most likely not ever. Years ago, it was something. It was cool and talked about, recommended to others etc. I don't hear a soul mention Newegg 2016 because it's just like any other big corporation in 2016. Just total garbage. Everything's about making more pennies and dollars, and that only equals out to us getting the worst possible service imaginable. That's just how it works.

    I went online about a month ago to purchase 2 generators totaling in over $2400.00. There were difficulties from the beginning. When I finally completed my purchase and ordered two day shipping, the purchases never came. Neither did the refund. After logging many hours on the phone, I still only have half a refund, no generator, and no explanation of why any of this happened. Worst company ever.

    About four weeks ago I ordered a AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core Processor. I received it, opened it, examined it, and put it in my PC. It started overheating very badly. It wouldn't go over a certain temp though so I monitored it closely. Eventually the temps started to rise higher and higher until it got to dangerously high temp of 83C and my PC shut off to prevent damage to it. I had had my Motherboard for a while and wasn't sure if that any anything to do with it so I went a bought a much nicer one. Then second I hooked that processor up to the new MB it started overheating.

    I won't lie... I thought their thermal paste was crap so I did VERY careful remove it with a thermal paste remover and applied my own that of Arctic Silver 5. That still didn't solve the issue. I have many friends that build, work in IT, and do specialized Computer work. I asked 4 of them and after looking at the issue they all said the same exact thing... The processor is FAULTY. I posted on a PC hardware site about the issue and they said the same thing. Look... This processor was overheating to 83-85C in less than 5 minutes. That is the most dangerous processor I've ever seen and I am lucky my PC components didn't suffer any damage.

    I called Newegg and spoke to a guy name Angel. I told Angel that I had tested it out on two different motherboards and explained the rest about it overheating. (Newegg has a "NO REFUND" on processors only a replacement) He offered to send me a new one and I told him no. I told him I didn't want the same processor and even if I couldn't get a refund I did NOT want it back and asked what he could do for me. He walked away for a few seconds came back and told me that they could give me store credit for the item and all I had to do was ship it back and would get the credit once it was received and all the parts were in there.

    So that's what I did. I shipped the item back, got the e-mail that they got it and it was being sent to inspection. Couple days later I get an e-mail telling me they are sending the processor back and I don't qualify for store credit for the following reasons: Item had been installed into a PC, Item had thermal paste on it, Item had bent pins.

    Let me explain. There is NO way possible to know if a PC part is faulty or not until you hook it up. It's impossible. NOT to mention I had told Angel on the phone that I had installed it into not one, but TWO motherboards. Now, for the thermal paste... Yes I do admit I did replace their thermal paste thinking it was bad but I had still tried it out first. All they said was "It had thermal paste on it" First off ALL processors come with thermal paste. Of course there is thermal paste on it! You can't use a processor without it! Third, the bent pins. I am by no means stupid and have done work with computers a few times now. I checked for bent pins when I hooked it up, I checked for bent pins when I took it out. I checked for bent pins BEFORE I shipped it back to them. I used a magnifying glass and found 0 bent pins! So unless it got crazy while shipping there is no reason for it to have had bent pins.

    I am extremely unhappy about this whole situation. Not to mention I told this Angel guy what was up on the phone before I shipped it because I didn't want all of this to even happen. I have told several others my story and a great deal of them said "It's messed up" and some said they will back me up by not shopping there either.

    I ordered a graphics card from Newegg as their website claims "Trusted and Certified" along with "Low Prices on Quality Products". Well that might be true. Just not quite how you'd think. I'm certain they're trusted and certified. Trusted by the owners to make them money, and certified to be a pain in the ass when you need something fixed. Live chat is a joke, as it's quite clearly a chatbot that is responsive based on your choices leading up to the chat opening. Things that a human would easily understand are misunderstood due to the identification of keywords that are programmed into an algorithm that seeks keywords and generates generic responses that are slightly tailored to the current user.

    I happen to get very sarcastic when using these services but that's actually okay, since bots don't actually have feelings to hurt. Ever wonder how on earth they have a 24/7 Chat Service? There you have it. Bots. They don't have to sleep, and Newegg doesn't have to waste their shiftily made profits on wages for representatives with both good personalities AND decent computer skills. That's the wrong kind of efficiency.

    Now for the calling service. What fun! After about thirty minutes of having my call lost, I managed to get through the menu. Yes, it took me 30 minutes to get through the menu. Then came the hold time! I stopped keeping track after 45 minutes when I launched Skyrim and left the phone on speaker. An entire questline later, the representative picked up. I took the phone off speaker, and began explaining my situation. The rep never gave their name, by the way, good job on that. I can't call you out now.

    In Customer Service, attitude is everything, and the customer is not always right, but attitude is everything. Apparently this representative was the embodiment of that. Not the whole principle mind, just the attitude. The sass, disinterest, and utter disregard for what was going on quite frankly pissed me off. I've been in Customer Service, and I have never talked to a Customer as rudely as this person, whoever they are, did to me. No matter how bad my day was. I've never encountered anyone so disgustingly rude to a Customer in my life.

    I know working with people who are angry and potentially rude is stressful, but this level of unpleasantness is never okay. Most memorable of quotes is: "Do you have a higher up I could speak to, please. And what's your name?" "My name is Felecia, cuz byeeee!" They hung up. They hung up on a customer. I honestly could do nothing but just sit with the phone in my hand and just listen to the dial tone. I was just stunned. There is no other word for it. I was dumbfounded. Complete loss for words.

    I'm no longer at a loss for words, because I'm writing this, but I cannot believe they have someone like that as a representative. It's appalling. If they end up not giving the refund, fine, but they had damn well better send that graphics card back, and I'm NOT paying for shipping. All I had wanted to do was link the package to my RMA, and I got this. I will never shop from Newegg again. I don't even care if not all representatives are like that. I'm just sickened by this whole thing. This was the first thing I ever bought from Newegg. I guarantee it will be the last, too.

    On 8/22/16 I placed an order for two items: a CPU @ $319.99 and a CPU Cooler @ $39.99. The order totaled $359.98, and I paid the total amount with PayPal. Almost immediately I received what I've come to know as standard emails from Newegg and from Paypal - Newegg confirming receipt of my order and PayPal confirming that I had placed an order with Newegg in the amount of $359.98 and advising me that the money would not leave my account until Newegg processed my order.

    The Newegg 'order confirmation' email revealed that Newegg had broken my order down under two, separate order numbers; #** for the CPU and #** for the CPU Cooler. Shortly after placing the order, I received another email from Newegg advising me that payment for order #** had been charged and so order verification was complete, but still another email from Newegg said that authorization for the charges for order #** had failed. That didn't make sense because the total amount for the order ($359.98) was authorized for payment by PayPal when I placed the order.

    I contacted Newegg via their website Chat feature. The lady nicely told me "they didn't know why PayPal didn't authorize the full payment". That statement, of course, is preposterous because PayPal in fact DID authorize payment of the full amount (and told me the money would not leave my account until Newegg processed the order). So it is very obvious that Newegg did not process the order properly. Nevertheless, the Chat Rep took no action (that I know of) to determine what went wrong and rectify the situation - she just gave me the option to pay for the item by credit card or cancel and reorder. I had no desire to change the payment method I had already chosen and executed, and I had no desire to reorder something Newegg had messed up. But I also had no use for a new, expensive CPU without a suitable cooler to go with it. So I asked the Chat Rep to cancel the entire order, which she did.

    Today I received an email from PayPal stating that I had received a $319.99 refund from Newegg. Interestingly, and confirming what I have said, it shows that the purchase amount was $359.98 and that $319.99 was refunded. There still is no explanation as to why Newegg refused or failed to process the $39.99 portion of my order.

    This unprofessional service incident follows an earlier incident of a few months ago wherein I ordered Tubular, LED, Fluorescent Replacement Light Bulbs that were advertised on sale on the Newegg website. My order was accepted by Newegg but then the third party vendor cancelled the order without explanation and failed to reply when I inquired about the cancellation. I contacted Newegg Customer Service because, after all, Newegg is who I ordered from and who took my payment and accepted my order, but Customer Service didn't seem to care that a long-time customer had been sluffed-off. They (Customer Service) said it was a pricing issue, but I never bought that because the light bulbs were advertised in different varieties at sale prices with a 'braggart clause' claiming that buyers were saving ** amount of money.

    I never knew why my order was cancelled, and I see no justification for it. In fact, it would be illegal in a brick and mortar store in my state to do such a thing without full disclosure of any limitations to the advertised sale price. Customer Service insulted me with a $10 discount on a future order and considered the matter closed. Because of that incident, I refrained from ordering from Newegg for some time but eventually went back because of the convenience of using PayPal. But that convenience is now being offset by poor service. I've been a Newegg customer for a long time. I 'cut-my-computer-teeth' with gear bought from Newegg and, back then, their service was great. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for them now.

    Stay away from Newegg based on internet reviews and my experience. I have been in a battle for near 30 days trying to return a defective product sent via a firm they use. All goes through Newegg until a problem arises then not their concern. After multiple emails stating a refund was issued I get confirmation it was issued today and for the incorrect amount. They ignored early requests I sent as to getting a authorization number for return.

    Their rep. had no clue as to their own return policy and then gave me incorrect information. They would ask the same questions and delay away. One email would state they issued a refund and another would say we send your return USPS tracking number so we can review for such refund. I called them and was given a problem resolution number then the same questions would be asked. The incompetency is overwhelming.

    I only wish I had looked at their online reviews as many have similar problems. They state they USE to be a good company but not anymore. I will never use them again. I am trying to alert all the sites I can as to my and others being treated poorly. My order number is under my name so look it up Newegg. I still need $9.45 from you.

    Just HORRIBLE customer service. I ordered a desktop PC which was supposed to be delivered in three days (and which I paid extra to have delivered in three days!). Tracking number was sent to me but there was never any tracking info available on FedEx's website. Now, the day prior to the original scheduled delivery, I get an email stating that the delivery won't be until next week, which is over a week after the initial order. This pretty much screws me, as I needed the computer NOW, not next week. Called Newegg who said there is nothing they can do, and blamed it on their "third party off-site shipping vendor warehouse" or some such crap.

    Same computer is about $50 more on Amazon; I think I should have paid the extra and bought it from Amazon instead, since I never run into this type of situation with Amazon. Guess that's what I get for trying to save a buck -- but I'll certainly know better in future. Never had a problem with Newegg in the past, but after reading some of these other recent reviews, it is obvious that something has happened and their customer service has totally gone downhill.

    I have purchased a great deal from Newegg over many years but recently I've decided this will be no more. I had ordered a motherboard awhile back for an HTPC project I was building. After I placed the order, I decided instead just to buy a fully assembled computer for the task. My fault, so I didn't try to return the board. I just left it with my many parts and didn't think much about it, then decided I would just sell it on eBay. The buyer opened it to discover that there were no accessories and five pins in the CPU socket were bent, so the board was trash. I felt bad not having checked it myself so I went to Newegg and ordered another, the same model as a "gift" and gave the name and address of my eBay buyer so it would be sent directly to them.

    In a couple of days, I checked the tracking info to see if he had received it and what did I discover? That they are sending the item directly to me instead of the person I gifted. Their chat is closed, their text messaging is closed, they aren't answering their phones, and their email customer service does not work. I am so upset. I have already lost a ton of money on this and now I'll probably have to re-ship it myself, at more cost and time. Newegg has lost me as a customer.

At no point did agent warned that I would have to choose between submitting rebate and keeping right to return non-functional item. When I had multiple problems with the card including failure of the fan blade, they used the fact that I have claimed time limited rebate (which required UPC code) to refuse exchange and point me to manufacturer, in full knowledge that manufacturer may charge me for repairing that type of damage, and without any hard commitment to cover costs of repair. Spent a lot of time working with support, didn't got impression that customer satisfaction was focus.

    I would be careful doing any business with Newegg in the future. I feel that the only reasonable action on getting any damaged packet when working with this company is to return it without opening package. If I did so, I wouldn't be in the position I am today.

    New Egg would not honor replacement at same promo price and arbitrarily cites my attempt to cancel order as justification. After at least a 1/2 hour on the phone with the C/S - and not until I made her look very stupid for clinging to her twisted logic - she had no other choice but to issue a refund for the difference when I ordered replacement items. After the conversation ended, I thought better of it and notified NewEgg to forget it, issue full credit and I didn't want to do business with them ever again (mainly on philosophical grounds). I immediately ordered the same item from Amazon - for $20 more. These people (NewEgg) are about as sleazy, greedy, manipulative and deceptive as it gets.

    Newegg has always been a good company for buying products. Right up until the product is DOA, defective in some way, or just generally needs to be returned. Did you know Newegg says if you try to put a piece of hardware into a computer and find out it doesn't work or is defective means you broke it. That's right every time you use what you buy if it doesn't work it's because you broke it. Because "physical damage includes but is not limited to, improper handling, permanently altering a product or any other type of damaged sustained due to irregular usage." They misrepresent the card as pci e 3.0 16x when it's 8x and I should contact the manufacturer because I can't return it now. Which is what they use to try to get you to never get a refund or RMA.

    They always try to force you to warranty the product. I have in all honesty had more troubles than I've actually had positive experiences with Newegg. Their rebates are always a scam because you never actually get the rebate. It's hard to even write a 10 year review when you stop and start having to think of all the times they ripped you off. I'm forced to think of the dozen or so times I've given them money and gotten nothing for it. I guess I'm glad others haven't had as bad as an experience as me because I wouldn't wish the 10 years as a consumer at Newegg and what I've dealt with to another living soul. My sum is I asked them to delete my account and I won't shop there out of principle anymore. I encourage others to be as careful as possible.

    Double check your products boxes, specs, everywhere. Newegg will tell you they only list the information the manufacturer gives them. They use this as an excuse for maintaining inaccurate listings through their entire website. Be sure once you open your product regardless of if it works or not that's the product you want. Because it will be yours forever. My 10 years with Newegg has given me the impression they are happy to not have me as a customer and don't care once they receive the money.

    I needed this computer by 6/25/16 but they lost my "Rushed" order so I reordered it and when I received one item it was damaged and they replaced it. No problem even though it cost me days of lost business. Now my main problem is that I order $140 Windows 7 professional CD and it never came with the product key as they claim it should've on the envelope. They told me it could be inside the box and it wasn't at all. I had to go out and buy another Windows 7 because I have clients who need blueprints done at a certain time. This is the real world and there are deadlines that have to be met. I ordered this computer about 1-2 weeks ago and I still haven't been able to use it because they sent me an operating system CD without the product key rendering the item completely useless.

    They refuse to give me a refund on the item when this is 100% their fault. I had absolutely no involvement in this error and yet it's supposed to come out of my pocket? It's supposed to harm my business and the business of my clients? They don't seem to understand that this isn't a personal computer for leisure time. It's an engineering's computer for AutoCad which could be used for government jobs. The computer now works because I had to go out and buy a whole other set of Windows 7 just so I could start working. This is completely unacceptable and I'm at a lost for words! I can't believe a "trusted" and well-known website like Newegg can't take care of their customers when the fault is solely on them. I spent close to $5000 on this computer and they can't even help me out when they messed up? This is the last time they'll be receiving my money.

    Have 2 kids going to Va Tech and they did ample research in choosing a computer that met the Engineering specs. When we opened computer to our surprise the keyboard was completely unreadable... It has black keys and dark red digits! I would never imagined a computer that did not have a readable keyboard... unless it is using the back-lit feature... The boxes are like new and nothing was downloaded but the return policy will not allow even an exchange w/out losing 85% paid, shipping cost and huge restocking fee. VERY DISAPPOINTED W/ NEWEGG WITH what I found having poor customer service.

    We ordered a HP computer and online it said Windows 10 Pro. We get the computer and it has Windows 10 Home. I finally found a 800 # to call them and they even admitted that what was advertised on their website was wrong and it was updated to the correct wording, but they still would not honor what they admitted to and just gave us a refund and a 50.00 credit to use on the next order of 200.00 or more.

    I received a DOA item. Upon contacting Newegg's customer service department I was surprised to find out they would not send me a replacement without charging me a 2nd time for the same item. Otherwise I could wait until they received and processed the item, then once approved send a refund or replacement. This would easily add two weeks when I paid for 2 day shipping. As this was a part I needed quickly Newegg does not see it that way, and have completely alienated a long term customer. Good luck in the future. I have no interest in doing business with a company that cares so little about their customers.

    I ordered a new phone from Newegg after mine broke. It was ~$680 phone and was due to arrive in two days, just in time for an upcoming trip (where I needed a phone). Came home, didn't have anything at my house. Called customer service. They said it should have been there. Opened up a claim and said I'd be issued a replacement or refund. Heard back a week later saying I needed to file a police report. I did so. Still haven't heard back from them and still have no refund. I dispute the charge with my credit card company and they deny my claim despite having a police report in hand.

    This company is literally stealing money. Their money back guarantee says outright they will refund your money and now I could cry, I'm out 700 and can't afford a new phone. NEVER USE THEM EVER-EVER-EVER. Always use Amazon or eBay or any other online merchant that backs their products, is good when it comes to refunds, and/or requires signature for delivery.

    I ordered a Microsoft Lumia 650 windows phone about a week and a half ago. When the phone arrives I take it out the box, it takes 45 minutes to turn on, then gets the sad face. The dumb phone was bricked, mind you it was brand new. So I tried to start a return online which just keeps putting you in circles. So I call and stay in the phone for a half hour, the guy says he can't return it because it's opened. I'm like, "How in the world are you supposed to check if the product works?" He gives me 21 questions then says he will give me store credit, I say whatever. So I get the email a couple hours later saying the shipping label is on its way. So 3 days later a different CSR writes me an email saying the phone is non refundable and they have basically the same crap the guy on the phone says but in email form. I said eff this.

    Newegg came highly recommended to me by a tech friend of mine so I decided to buy my next laptop through them. I talked with one of their techs & based on his recommendation I purchased an Asus laptop. When I received it I went through the set up process and was surprised at how slow it seemed to be. The first thing I did was set up the Wifi and went online and again was surprised at how slow it seemed to be so I opened the Task Manager and was surprised to see the CPU & Disc usage were at 100%. This was on a Sunday & Newegg was closed so I called Asus & they instructed me to do a factory refresh which I did & ended up with the same problem.

    On Monday I called Newegg & was told that the laptop was sold through a third party & that I would need to go through the third party. Newegg e-mailed Vernal Tech (the third party) and instructed them to contact me. The email I received from Vernal Tech asked me to go through the system and identify the process that were running & start deleting items. I refused to spend the time & effort to fix a brand new machine that seemed to be shipped with too much software on it. I then called Newegg again & they told me they would reach out to the third party again & that I could expect a response in 7 to 10 days, which I felt was way too long for a resolution so I waited three days with no response & called them back to check the status & they still refused to give me a Return Authorization Number or refund my money.

    So here I am 9 days later with a crappy laptop & terrible customer service from Newegg. Thankfully I used PayPal for the purchase and they have taken over the dispute but it will probably be another week or so before I get my money back. Bottom line Newegg is a joke. This has been one of the worst buying experiences I have ever had & will never purchase another item through Newegg. I recommend that you think twice before giving them your business.

    I have been a committed Newegg buyer since January 2008. Even knowing prices were cheaper on other websites I still stay dedicated because you were also reliable and trustworthy. My recent order "Order #**" change my entire opinion of Newegg and now makes me look elsewhere for purchases. Order #** is listed as "Item#: N82E16819117676" a Intel Xeon 2760 v3 (Socket 2011-3) "refurbished” for $174.00. This is obviously a great great price because this CPU sells for $1,200. I honestly thought I found the "Golden Egg" or "Hidden Gem". Along with this purchase I order supporting component like 128GB of DDR4 and a ASRock X99 Extreme4 motherboard. My goal was to build my new 24 core 128GB ram VMware workstation nested lab environment.

    On June 1st I received the CPU and to my surprise, I had a Xeon 2670. To the untrained eye this looks to be correct however, I know this is the wrong CPU which only works with DDR3 and socket 2011. I called Newegg customer service and spoke with Melanie **. She was very apologetic about the situation and immediately asked if I wanted to refund the item. I said "NO", I had it in mind to build a specific system. I paid for a specific item and would like the item I paid for. I understand there is a huge price difference, however this is not my fault and good customer service would suggest to either send me the correct item that I thought I paid for or suggest an alternative product that would satisfied my needs (other than refund).

    According to Melanie ** Newegg policy will not allow for anything other than refund or I keep the wrong item. To make things even more worse, I will not get my money about until 3 business days after Newegg receives the product back. Mind you I paid for the product prior to receiving it. All that said, I very disappointed with Newegg and how they handled this situation. I will no longer use or recommend Newegg anymore. I will look to competitors for future purchases.

    I am deeply disappointed with the service level of your warranty provider Service Net. I opened a ticket on February 5th 2016 and have still yet to receive any word on when my replacement or check will be in the mail. I do realize that this is a different company, but their actions reflects very poorly on your business. When I first submitted my claim I was going to immediately once received my reimbursement money order a new phone from your business. There is no way a simple cell phone service repair should take over 3 months. This level of service is unacceptable.

    I cannot recommend Newegg as a business to any potential customers and am making it a point to share my story through various social mediums, so that all customers are aware of the service that Newegg offers. I was contacted by Newegg customer service. Through their efforts they were not able to help my situation at all. They are hoping to have my claim resolved in the 3 weeks, giving the grand total to over 4 months. If you value anything about customer service never purchase with Newegg.

    I purchased a refurbished printer for $50 along with a 2-year replacement protection plan ($14). The printer stopped working shortly after receiving it. After spending many hours trying to get this thing to work I contacted the company handling the replacement plan MYSERVICEPLAN.com. I discovered the plan did not go into effect for 3 months because of the manufacturer' 3-month warranty (which, I also found, was already expired at the time of purchase.) So, believing the item would be fixed or replaced. I waited the 3 months for the replacement plan to kick in. After shipping the item to them, I was given a NEWEGG GIFTCARD for the purchase price of the item.

    My complaint is this: If they were not able to fix the printer and send it back to me, or replace it with a similar item (which I would have accepted), then I should have been given a full REFUND ON MY CREDIT CARD; NOT A GIFT CARD. I complained on the phone to both NEWEGG, and MYSERVICEPLAN.COM but they were not willing to refund my money. I am forced to spend my $50 at NEWEGG, even though there are other choices elsewhere. I recognize that $50 is not much money to some, but to me this practice is deceptive and devious. It could easily have been several 100 dollars I would be forced to spend where I don't want to and a practice that can be easily corrected.

    I bought and assembled my entire computer from Newegg. During my order I accidentally ordered two motherboards, and no video card, so I ordered a video card at a later date. So I return my motherboard never opened never box swapped and Newegg refuses to return the item stating it was open and in the wrong box. It has been almost a month now with no word from Newegg, so I decided to call today. They said they would return the item if I sent the other box at my expense. I told them no and that they will refund the money, it was a $600 USD motherboard. They said they will send it back and I can sell it on eBay. After holding onto a return for almost a month? I told them I will tear the computer apart and send back everything I ordered and the response was "Let's get ready to copy some RMA numbers". I broke down and sent them the box from MY motherboard and now don't have a box for my motherboard.

    In the photos below are my motherboard box being sent out to NEWEGG. What is stopping them from repeating this process? The important thing here is NEVER BUY ANYTHING from Newegg. So not am I only out 600 bucks but now another 20 USD for shipping my box to a company who has had such an awful history of doing this to other customers. I would never again. I have never had this kind of issue with AMAZON or Best Buy. Absolutely most horrible customer service I've ever experienced.

    I've placed several large dollar orders with Newegg in the past without any problems, so when they shipped a $12 cable to a previous address of mine instead of my current one, I was sure the problem would be reconciled efficiently and without much to do. I WAS WRONG. I was first forced to check in on that previous address and see if I could find the shipment before they offered a $9.99 gift card to repurchase another $12 cable. This gift card would take 1-2 business days to get, plus another 2-3 days to ship and receive (and another $2.88 of tax and shipping costs out of my pocket).

    The cable is for a computer monitor I use as work, and simply can't wait this long. This is just crappy customer service. If this purchase was made with Amazon (another company I spend quite a bit of money with), that company would simply have shipped out another cable, no questions asked. For such a low-value item, there should be no qualms about replacing it quickly and without all of the hoop jumping. If Newegg wants to compete in the current market they will have to meet and exceed their competitor's service, which in my opinion they did not do. I have spent at least $10000 with Newegg in the past and I expect to be treated as such. From now on, whenever I can I will simply shop with Amazon, someplace I know will treat me better when I run into the inevitable issues with shipping and product replacement.

They RECEIVED it last Friday and my RMA JUST went out of "Inspection" today. At this point I can wait for another week while I have over $1000 in parts just waiting for a motherboard or cut my losses and buy another board from someone else and suffer the "restocking fee."

    NEWEGG BLOWS. The other shoe has dropped and NEWEGG will never see another dime from this geek. Bought a motherboard last week (the last one I bought from Egg was DOA) that was supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I went to Newegg to check the status and there was NO ORDER in my account. Huh? The $83 bucks was definitely removed from my bank account... So I popped over to my email (not easy when your PC is broken) and there was an email stating that the motherboard I bought wasn't really in stock and that they will not be sending it. Newegg is closed on Sundays. My bank isn't though. So I filed a claim against Newegg to get my money back. U.S. Bank is awesome like that. : )

    Now here's the kicker: I clicked on the link to the non-existent motherboard that I didn't get and guess what? IT'S FOR SALE AGAIN!!! Feels alot like bait and switch to me. I believe they post cheap items on their site to get you in there, snatch it away, then hope you will bump up to the more expensive items. NOT THIS GIRL!

    Updated on 04/19/2016: Egg sent me a PRIVATE MESSAGE here on Consumer Affairs - and I am of the opinion that all responses should be PUBLIC. Here is their response: "We appreciate that you've shared your experience, and we're terribly sorry to hear about the difficulties this has caused. We'd like to further look into this for you and see what's going on. Please feel free to email us at wecare@newegg.com with your order number and details."

    Sorry Egg, when I say I'm done with a cheating, greedy, unorganized company such as yours, I mean it. The first time you pulled this trick, I forgave and forgot, the second time you sent me a $15 gift certificate. When I tried to use that certificate, the item that I bought "didn't ship from the supplier fast enough so we cancelled it" (directly quoted by customer service). Of course I had again spent lots of time shopping for that item, and I won't get it. So - I went shopping again. I found an item that I liked, of course it was several dollars more than the last item (the bait and switch game), and when I went to buy it, my $15 gift certificate had dropped to $11 for no apparent reason. Finally, I bought my lamp, paid too much for it, waited too long for it, and went back for more abuse last week. Hence, this complaint. GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!

Same information, same card number, again I placed one order. They told me to call the credit card which I did and they told me the charge did go through. Then I called back again and the next story I got was it was voided because the information was not correct for the second order/shipment.

    I only placed one order with one set of information. No one could explain how that happens or why. Now get this - they can't fix the order over the phone. Even though they already shipped 1/2 the order and have my funds in hand. I will never ever deal with this joke of an outfit again. Go to B&H, Tiger Direct, Amazon, anywhere.

The UPS guy assures me that UPS never has received the item and that they are waiting for Newegg to give it to them. So pretty calmly, I chatted Newegg CS and was told processing takes 1-2 business days (irrelevant, since it was already processed through the warehouse and marked shipped from Newegg site). The next day I contacted them over and over again so many times. First they gave me the same story and said they would email the warehouse. Then I asked again later that day and was told an email was sent and I had to wait for a response from the warehouse.

    I contacted later again and was asked if I would like an email to be sent to the warehouse. (Why would they ask that if they said they would do that earlier?) I then asked again later on that day, this time a little more frustrated and got a copy of a supposedly new email. (I got a copy of what seemed to be a fake email to make me feel better). This time I called later on and suddenly I find out a claim was submitted and would take 3-5 business days to be resolved. The CS agent was rude. I asked him why I can't just get my item. He said the item was lost or temporarily missing and I cant be issued a replacement or refund until after the claim is processed which takes 3-5 business days. Any decent company would just correct the mistake and send me my item.

    I feel like someone at UPS or Newegg stole my monitor because they saw the box and said "that's a nice monitor, I'm taking it". The funny thing is, I was almost certain the item would be stolen even before I made the order. The only compensation I received was 20 dollars from a previous credit card problem (mixed with some price matching for this blatantly overpriced monitor) plus 7.99 refund for my standard shipping and 4 dollar refund for my rush order. I'm tempted to cancel the replacement and go with the refund instead after my claim is accepted. Other customers who got this monitor were sent open-boxed and defective monitors when they bought the new one. Only Newegg would send customers, other customers defective returns.

    I recommend you buy from an Amazon seller that has free prime shipping. Amazon will fully back their third party sellers with great Amazon level CS (first hand experience). Newegg will barely back their own products with bad CS , you will have to pay return shipping on defective products and if you think they will remotely back their third party seller items, then you are a dreamer! My dad and I will no longer buy from Newegg and our friends won't either. Newegg has lost their ways. Having to wait business days to get a new one sent out is ridiculous. I feel like I'm being punished for someone else's mistake. Will update my review if this gets resolved with me getting a non-defective, brand-new monitor in a timely manner. If not, this review stays the same and to this day, I haven't got my money or correct working product. WHAT A JOKE.

    On 3-14 I ordered a delivery for next day via ups. I paid $57.00 for shipping! On the 15th I checked the status and it said preparing shipment. I called and was told that my order was placed after the cut off which is stated nowhere on the website. She told me that it was "understood" or "implied". No it's not understood if you fail to put it on there. FYI: She said the cut off is 12:00 pst for all shipments. (Mine was placed at 12:30pst). Fine. So she said it would be shipping out today (16th). I called and of course it still has not shipped. She said it was on hold at a 3rd party vendors warehouse!

    After waiting for hours on my call back, I decided to use the social media platform. In response to my tweet, I was given a different email, and Eugene from the social media department was able to refund shipping and $25 off my order. He also said that my email will be forwarded to the supervisor of the employee that lied to me about my package's delivery. Live support finally called back over 3 hours after making my initial call. Package arrived Monday.

    Noticed on the FedEx site that my package arrived 3 miles from my house very early on Friday morning and was marked as "package not due for delivery." Was scanned an additional 5 times before going out for delivery.

    I paid for expedited shipping on my product that would have set it to arrive on Thursday, 3/10/2016. I receive a shipping label creation stating that the product will be shipped out on Tuesday, 3/8, and will arrive on Friday, 3/11. I contacted their live chat early afternoon on Wednesday, 3/9, because my product still had no shipping information updated. The customer service representative assured me that the product had shipped on Tuesday, 3/8, and will arrive on Friday, 3/11. I checked shipping information on Thursday, 3/10, to see that the package had not left the warehouse until 4 hours after I had talked to the customer service representative. Flat out, the representative lied to me about when my product shipped, and now I have to wait until Monday, 3/14, for my order to arrive.

    I contacted support again today, and all they offered me was a $5 refund on a $694.98 order. The customer service representative told me I had to be "patient and understanding." I would be if it was the fault of FedEx, but I will not be patient and understanding when I have been lied to. Absolutely ridiculous and insulting. I attempted to contact customer service by phone and there is a wait time that is beyond an hour. I am currently awaiting a call back from them.

    I purchase an Intel hard drive from Newegg just prior to Christmas. The drive was defective so I returned it and ordered another one. Because the original drive did not have the box they have been refusing to refund my money. They claimed that Intel would not take it back without the box. I have talked with Newegg's customer service at least 10 times telling them they can't resell a defective item, thus the box didn't matter. I called Intel directly to inquire about the box. They said that has never been their policy (returning items without the box) and that Newegg was lying about it. I challenged Newegg and they still refuse and are sending the defective unit back to me (I guess to use as an $800 paperweight). I would never buy anything thing from these crooks ever again. Amazon, Best Buy, etc. would never have treated me this way.

They told me they could only give me store credit with Newegg because it was outside the window.

Upon the return, the rejected via email I could not contact anyone to explain. They sent me back a faulty machine which I can do nothing with. Worst part, terrible service.

There was no indication my order would be placed internationally. Now I have to wait. My other product never arrived. The post office said that the company shipping it filled out an "Undeliverable Address". Did Newegg or third party seller do ANYTHING? No. I have been writing and calling for days, and the best response I can get is "It's a sale from our marketplace, Newegg isn't responsible." Totally unprofessional, and I will NEVER use their site again. They could be selling new laptops for a penny and I wouldn't waste my time or energy.

    Okay, Newegg finally came through and gave me (not a refund as they told me they would) a store credit which I decided after all the fighting I could work with. What I really don't like about this whole situation is how I was called a liar about what I had told them about the product being faulty and being damaged.

    They had recorded all my phone calls and knew exactly what I had told them from the very beginning. I guess it all comes down to be careful who you buy from and fight for your rights.

    I just bought a new motherboard from Newegg. Put it in my gaming desktop that I'm building and I got a message that the graphics card was not sending a signal to the monitor. When I tried to reseat the graphics card on the MB the whole connector ripped off the MB. I called Newegg and they were all friendly and said they would take care of it, sent me a call tag so I could return it. I had EVERYTHING I needed to return it. Every item that came with it went back!! At first I was going to do an exchange (of course they were happy with this), then as time went on I wanted a refund. Called and that was okay too. I started reading reviews from Newegg customers having the same issues I had had. New items that had been opened and sold as new, bad customer service, and having a load of trouble returning things. I decided to buy from Amazon whom I have a great relationship with and know if there is a problem things WILL get taken care of.

    Okay got the new board from Amazon, all is said and done on that front. Then I get an email from Newegg. They tell me the motherboard I sent them is damaged and I will have to deal with the manufacturer and they are RETURNING the MB to me! I call them to find out what is going on. First they tell me they have no notes pertaining to anything that I told them about the motherboard having damage and being faulty. Then when I told them whom I spoke with and he said he would take care of it, they said no one by that name works there. Really? That's how you work? I can't believe anyone still buys from this company. I sure won't any longer!

    We ordered a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (refurbished) through Newegg. It arrived and the LCD was cracked, apparently in shipping. We contacted Newegg, and after several weeks and much runaround, were told that the supplier was Etech and that they would forward our complaint. Etech then replied, without seeing the unit or speaking with anyone directly, that they would not replace the unit. We then asked Newegg if they would stand behind the replacement, and they said no, that it was up to Etech. Upon further research, we found that Etech has a long history of defective product reviews and it is easy to assume that Newegg was aware of this. We are now researching which company to sue but would advise any consumers to purchase with a company that stands by their product and that would not be Etech or Newegg. As long-standing, previous customers, we could not be more disappointed with Newegg.

    On Black Friday we ordered $1,100.00 in computer parts to build a new system for our son in college. They shipped via UPS who then left this package on our front porch and no one home. The package was stolen. We contacted Newegg and they contacted UPS to do an investigation, which 3 days before x-mas was still not resolved. I got very impatient and tried to get this resolved so to have the gift for x-mas. One of their customer service members talked me into doing a whole new order (which I paid an additional $1,100.00 for; they in turn paid for 2 day shipping to have this under the x-mas tree). They told me that once UPS would complete their investigation, they will refund the money. Too bad it was NOT THAT EASY.

    The Newegg idiots then sent this shipment to a totally different address even AFTER they confirmed my mailing address. I managed to get that money refunded but the initial shipment made in Nov., they were dragging their heels. Needless to say our son never got his x-mas gift. It is now Feb and this issue still has not been resolved. They refuse to send new parts or refund our money because according to UPS they "delivered the package to the correct address, and therefore will not cover the cost." Newegg then decided not to refund my money nor ship out the computer parts. They claimed that the 2nd shipment they made and refunded because they shipped to wrong address was the refund, and therefore the issue was resolved. They were not even considering the fact of the initial shipment from Nov. They seem to think that initial $1100. was a present to them I guess.

    Now Newegg claims after 2 months that they want to see a Police report. Sure why not report something stolen 2 months after the fact. After forwarding this police report, and now DEMANDING money refunded, I am still waiting for their reply. I went to the bank to dispute charges as well to get my money returned. I don't care if I have to pay 4 times as much for computer parts by shopping somewhere else; I will NEVER buy anything from Newegg again. After this great experience they can kiss my ass!

"Why, for a defective unit, would you need that?" Get no real answer other than "it is policy". I have ordered from Amazon for over 10 years. This has never been an issue once.

    Similar to many other reviews, I ordered a refurbished iPad 4 without realizing it wasn't being fulfilled by Newegg. I received the wrong model which was severely damaged. After several attempts to contact the seller, Newegg finally got involved. It has been nearly a month and I still haven't gotten a refund even after returning the iPad to the seller at my expense per direction. Fortunately, I paid extra for signature confirmation which proved the seller received the package. Newegg has permanently lost my business and I have removed them from my companies approved vendor database.

    On December 6, 2015, I purchased a computer and a MS Office 365 subscription. Immediately after placing my order, I tried to change the address for my shipment. But Newegg made it impossible to do so. When I tried for online chats, I was repeatedly told that the wait would be long (the first time, over 29 minutes at 11:59 pm EST; the second, during the day, over 49 minutes; the third, over 55 minutes). No one replied to my emails and I only received a response once I posted a negative review on SiteJabber. But even then, the response was slow and unhelpful. I tried to post a follow-up after my most recent problem, but SiteJabber is pasting over my original review with my new one and backdating the new review to the first one.

    So here's the latest: I am now getting an error message that my Office 365 program is not licensed. So, I tried to start another chat session with Newegg. Here's the message I received: "5:49:05 PM undefined CS Team: You are next in queue... Estimated wait time is 0 hours 0 minutes 5 seconds.' It is now 6:19 (30 minutes later), and no one has come on to start a chat. So now, instead of telling me that it would more than 30 minutes to even start a chat with me, Newegg has apparently just decided to lie outright. Stay away from this company. What good does it do to get something at what seems like a good price when the company deliberately hides if there's a problem?

    I ordered a complete computer system on 12/22 using standard shipping, as I have done from Newegg for at least a decade. All of the parts I ordered (several order numbers) were shipped out the next day and all but one arrived as expected (within 7 days) except the $900 motherboard/processor. That item arrived at the second shipper location on 12/23 and there it sits. A day or two after I placed the order, Newegg put a delivery date of 1/5 on this item in the order on their website. Newegg knew they would miss their delivery promise but failed to notify me (I had looked it up just to see when things would get here - other items had begun to arrive).

    OK, I was unhappy but not really irritated - that is, until I chatted with a Newegg customer service rep today. I patiently laid out the detail and his response was "It's with the 4 - 7 business day window." which it is not. She could have given me some better response, or explained things or whatever. I have been a very loyal Newegg customer for as long as they have been online (and before when they were in B. Dalton bookstores). Why did my other 6 or 7 items for this build arrive more than a week before this item is *scheduled* for delivery (that was my question). In this Amazon-defined online world where I place ~70 Amazon orders/year with zero problems (returns are immediately handled and questions answered properly), Newegg is falling behind.

    I entered a satisfaction survey response today on Newegg's website. I have one outstanding order with Newegg, and it will be my last if I don't receive some reasonable response to my satisfaction survey comments. If they are willing to treat poorly a decade-long customer who has purchased quite a few systems from them, then I will no longer trust that they will do their best to meet my needs in the future. (Note that this system was spread across multiple orders on the same day (12/22) not just the one entered below.)

    Order $150 monitor for Xmas on 12/13. Tracking says it should arrive 12/15. Miss Xmas. Didn't come by 12/29. Reached out to support 4 times. No response. Call in, call drops, no follow up. Utterly awful customer experience. Newegg woulda kept my $.

    We mistakenly ordered two printers; when I asked about returning, I was given an RMA, but not an RMA label, which meant that we were responsible for shipping. Shipping would cost us $33 for a $60 printer. Newegg is a joke; will never purchase from them again.

    To make a long story short, Newegg shipped me two items in one box (water cooler and a processor) and when I received the box and opened it only the water cooler was inside. I filed a claim with Newegg and after a painfully long process of our long wait times to speak with customer service several times, we were told our claim was denied and they couldn't help us. I was flabbergasted. And since I told them the box didn't look tampered with they said pursuing a claim through UPS would be futile. I was out $374.99 because they said all of their stock was accounted for and they would do NOTHING to help me. I ended up filing a claim through the BBB, my bank (Regions) and filed a police report just have all my bases covered. Regions came through for me and returned my money to me after investigating the situation and is now pursuing a resolution with the company directly I suppose. I will NEVER order from this company again.

    I first bought from Newegg in 2001 and have been a loyal customer, off and on, for a long time. Recently bought a new TV, arrived with half dead pixels. "Ok, no problem" I thought because Newegg was a good company, right? Oh man. It's now been over 2 weeks, I received the following promises: 1) "Your return label is 2 day." - lie 12/7/2015. 2) "Your RMA will be expedited." - lie 12/7/2015. 3) "I will set your RMA to be expedited and 2 day shipping back to you (other customer service rep, noting that it was standard)." - lie 12/18/2015.

    I just got off the phone with "RMA specialists" - they were rude and hostile. I explained I was upset about this process and the rep noted "It will take 2-5 days to process your RMA. We just received it Saturday" (now Tues). I asked about the expedited RMA - "I don't see anything, well I see one thing here - I guess it might be faster than 2-5 days." Seriously? Not only will I not be able to give my Christmas gift that I ordered almost a month ago, but I hope I get it before New Year's... Pathetic process, pathetic customer service. I can even understand laziness, but for employees to get hostile with customers is beyond a business mistake - it's unacceptable.

    I ordered a hover board from Newegg and found out that they were catching on fire the next night. I reached out to the seller 4 different times to cancel the order with no response. So I contacted Newegg chat support thinking I am just going to tell them that it's been 14 days and the tracking number has no activity and they will see what's going on and I will get my money back. I was wrong though. NewEgg wanted to contact the seller one more time on my behalf and give them 48 hours to contact me back. So I waited 48 hrs and then they wanted to contact them one more time. And now they are telling me they want a special marketplace representative to reach out to the seller and contact me. So another 3-7 business days to contact me back.

    It has already been 17 days since the order. The tracking number still pulls up absolutely nothing, not even a scheduled pickup date. Even if I did get a response back from the deadbeat seller that is going to be after Christmas and I am going to refuse shipment anyways because I am not interested in giving my 10 year old niece a product that catches her on fire. I thought every company waits until the product ships to charge you. Newegg not only charges you before it ships. They hold you hostage to a seller with defective products that has shown absolutely no effort to even fake legitimacy.

    I have wasted 3 hours with Newegg support and they are still siding with a ghost seller that doesn't even respond to them. I asked for a manager and they said they do not have a manager present. They can get one to contact me on the next business day. Like I can just answer every call while I'm at work and spend 3 hours while I'm on the clock telling Newegg for the 8th time I don't want a replacement. The product catches on fire and the illegitimate company that sold it on your website has not even sent me one to replace. Are you kidding me? I'm in awe of how horrible this company is.

    I ordered Nexus 9 from Newegg during Black Friday. I got an old used device and that also after almost 10 days, although I had ordered a new one. I have been following up with the Newegg customer care for the last 3 weeks just to get the refund. They still need time to look into the issue. I never experienced such a horrible customer service ever.
