I've found some equipment on Newegg and the price is much lower than other places. Seems to good to be true... Has anyone used this site with success or failure? I just don't want to get ripped off.

Thank you.
 
I've built two entire computer systems and bought a ton of stuff from them. Excellent prices and customer support. just avoid using UPS if your buying OEM harddrives as recently the padding on them has not been very good.
 
I've used them for at least 7 years and have bought everything imaginable. Been very happy and highly recommend them. Tigerdirect.com is another good source.

I use them all the time.

Very reputable, and have great prices.

As someone else said, do watch out for the UPS shipping. The extra 2 dollars for FEDX is well spent.

12 years ago they were the best bar none. Now they're only one of the best.
If it's too good to be true, it could be a typo, a demo, a return etc.
Nevertheless, read the fine print.

So what is it?
 
I've used them many tmies over the past several years. I think I've spent clost to $9k at their store.

I haven't used them, but the reviews are quite mixed. If it's too cheap to be true, it usually is. Cheap stuff often costs much more than retail.

Mixed? The first page has nothing but positive reviews except for the first one, which is actually a review of UPS:

I had planned to have it before the Easter long weekend. The UPS tracking had a date of Thursday. I waited all day and checked the tracking which stated"out for delivery". After 9pm it got rescheduled for Monday. Newegg is great, but UPS sucks!

I agree with the prior suggestion, check reseller ratings:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Newegg -- 9.74 for Newegg
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/B_H_Photo_Video_Pro_Audio -- 9.71 for B&H

Yes, I`ve used them once for a non-photographic product(Vornado fan).
No problems with the purchase and included the manufacturer`s warranty.
It was on "sale" at a much lower price than other sources. From time to time
I`ve tracked items there on "sale". They usually remain on sale for a couple
days and then it`s gone. YMMV of course. Good luck with whatever decision
you make.

I don't actually trust "reviews" being a White Anglo Saxon Protestant myself. The business world is so competitive why wouldn't a business just hire someone to post positive reviews to drown out the negative ones?
 
Although it may have just been a fluke with a customer service rep, I had a Newegg employee raise their voice on the telephone while accusing me of returning a different item than I had purchased. Six phone calls later I had my money returned on a memory card that was defective on delivery.

I might have spoken to one bad apple, but I will never deal with them again.

It's a negative scanner. And I want it! At this price it would greatly help me with my presence on the computer. This is about $150 less than I've seen it anywhere else. Could this be right?

It's $5 less than the one being sold here:

Though that one is back ordered.

In fact, googling for that model, 60-A29-BBM310, doesn't give me very many results at all. I'm not sure where you see them for $150 more.
 
Have used them for many computer-related purchases and prices and product have always been very good. I'm a satisfied customer.

half of our computers are from parts there, and maybe a quarter of our kitchen too!!
