Newegg's reputation is mixed, with a notable divide in customer experiences. On the positive side, many customers appreciate the wide selection of tech products and competitive pricing, often citing timely deliveries and satisfactory purchases over the years. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding customer service, particularly issues with product authenticity, delayed or unresponsive support, and complicated return processes. Customers frequently report dissatisfaction with how complaints are handled, leading to a growing sentiment of distrust towards the company. Overall, while Newegg remains a popular choice for tech purchases, its customer service shortcomings are a critical area for improvement.

I love the huge selection of electronics that this website has.
Their support team is very helpful.
I have built 3 gaming computers and also did up grades on several others with parts from Newegg
Best prices i can find on what i want
The reason why I think this site is so wonderful is because it is easy to order and it has all the information you need to be comfortable, for example: Date Arrivals and Payment Charges

Everything was fine until I had to return something, then all chaos broke loose, lots of back and forth, 10s of emails and chats and calls and no new and working parts. Boohooo.
Hi Remco d, It sounds like you are having some difficulty with your RMA. If you would send me an email with the RMA # and a link to this post, I would gladly look into the issue for you. Please send the email to WeCare@Newegg.com, Attn: Vickie. I look forward to being able to help you out. - Vickie
1. You promised no handling fee of the return of my item.
I was charged.
2. you promised a full refund of the *free game charge * before I sent back the defective item to you.
3. You keep saying I should expect the refund soon for this free game on top of the already partial refund.
4. you didn't send the refund for the free game charge yet.
5. Is this how a company operates in 2017 expecting to gain money from stealing 107 $ from me...
It will cost you 10 X times more in trouble, customer loss, bad review, paypal and credit company charge back. And, who knows maybe law suits, maybe also CRA (canadian revenue agency) going after your cheating revenues? You never know how bad this will turn for you to steal and not honour your words.
Hello Gabriel,

Shopping at Newegg was a nightmare. Bought a refurb laptop, but it arrived with a different hard drive than advertised. It was an absolute nightmare to return it. Called immediately to return it, ready to ship back to them in perfect condition. They insisted on store credit instead of real refund.
It took like 10 calls and tons of emails to finally get my actual money back. I had to use Google Cache to prove that they had advertised a different hard drive a few days earlier. I lucked out, without a screenshot of their product page, I would have been screwed. Compare this experience to Amazon returns, and well... this is why Amazon is winning and stores like Newegg are losing.
Hello, I'm terribly sorry that you had that kind of negative experience with your return! If you can please send me an email to "WeCare@Newegg.com" with you order number, I would like to share this with upper management. Thank you, - Vickie
Absolutely horrible company. Should anything at all go wrong with your order DO NOT EXPECT proper support.
Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you did not receive the support you were requesting! Please send me an email at "WeCare@Newegg.com" with your order number and I'll be happy to look into the issue for you!
I love this company so much for computer parts if that's what you're in the market for look no farther, I've bought all the parts for my computer from Newegg and would do it again! Nothing was damaged in the least not even the boxes were scratched.
Hi Mason,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback! We love hearing from all of eggcellent customers, especially when they've had such eggceptional experiences with us! Thank you for your continued business!
Thanks again,
Dakota
Its a great website for any one who looks for a great deals of computers, and the prices are really nice its never go above the original price for each item, but they are slow in term of processing orders and shipping, and they don't accept international visa cards.
Thank you so much for providing us with this feedback, Abdulqader. We take all feedback as constructive and will be passing your notes about our processing and shipping times on to our management team for further review!
Thank you,
Dakota
I am probably the most critical reviewer on this site and have never given over several stars to any business reviewed yet. Newegg is the exception. I build the latest and greatest systems and shop around for the absolute best prices on the internet. If I find a better price on another site, Newegg has always been able to match it. When I receive a defective product from the many suppliers on Newegg, their customer service department has always been there to resolve any and all problems. If I have paid more for an item on Newegg than is on sale a week later, they have credited the difference in the form of a gift card. If you absolutely love standing in long lines and the worst customer service, then shop at Frey's or Best Buy and pay the sales tax also for the privilege. For the best prices and customer service, Newegg has been my favorite for approximately 15 years since CompUsa closed down in my area.
Wow, Doug, thank you so much for the positive feedback! We truly appreciate the time you've taken to write this review and sharing your experience with us. We hope to share many more years with you and continue to make great memories with the service. Should you have any questions or concerns, you are more than welcome to reach us at wecare@newegg.com and we would be happy to assist you!
Thank you!

If you would like to get your order in a timely manner or at all STAY AWAY! I paid to have my order delivered overnight but becuase of the numerous order confirmation steps (phone calls etc.) you have to go through my order won't be delivered until 4 days after the date it said it would be delievered. I paid for overnight delivery and was on top of getting back to Newegg with information as to no slow the process down.
I shop almost exceulsively online for everything these days and this was hands down the worst experience I had. I now need to return the item becuase it didn't arrive in time... I can only imagine the headache I'm about to go through.
I'm sorry to hear about the experience with the shipping and I would love to look into this further to see if there is anything that I can help with. Please send us an email at wecare@newegg.com with your account information, I would be happy to assist you with the return if needed as well.
Thank you,

Bought a wireless keyboard and mouse combo from Newegg. Well I thought it was Newegg turns out it's some third party through Newegg. Well I have a tracking number from UPS issued 3 days ago for a label but nothing has been shipped. HERE is where it gets good. I called and text and emailed customer service. I was told nothing could be done until they hear from the seller. Nevermind they have called twice and can't get them on the phone. So they finally reply to the email and it says we did not sell you this check with Newegg. Now I can't get newegg on the phone or by text or email. Looks like Newegg has bad egg on their face and now I wait. It's only $44 a price that may be to good to be true. But I would like an explanation and a refund I have my doubts I get either or my merchandise. I will never do business with Newegg. NEWEGG IS JUST A POLISHED UP BAD EGG. THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF LIPSTICK ON THIS PIG!"
Hello Hugh,

I would love to look into this further to see how we can assist you in resolving this. Please send us an email at wecare@newegg.com so we can get started on looking into some options for you.
Thank you,

Good prices, shipping rates. If you end up getting your $600 processor shipped and absolutely crushed you can expect a convo where a rep lies about having your items processed for reshipping and instead receive a refund a week later. Especially an inconvenience with a new credit card in which time limitations for bonuses complicate issues, and business relies on your shipment. To be fair the first rep offered me $10 credit which I never received. The last offered me $15 and let's see if that's real. Even if so, its far not worth all of the trouble and TIME spent waiting dealing with customer support, and wasted time waiting for nothing. All because their shipping department didn't want to use more than 1 sheet of bubble wrap.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience with your return. I know that when returning a product, our items might have the chance of going out of stock while processing the return. I would love to double check the account to make sure those payments have been submitted for you. Please send us an email at wecare@newegg.com so we may get started on this. I look forward to your response!
Thanks,
Ellia
I had an issue with a damaged packaged, which really was not properly padded inside, and I had to schedule a call back for 32 minutes later just to report the issue. When someone did finally call me back they told me they would send a replacement. The price has gone up on the item so now they want me to send the damaged memory back to them at my cost for a refund. So of course to finally get my memory I would have to re-purchase at the higher price. This is really bad business. With a retailer like Amazon for instance, this process would have taken 5 minutes and a return shipping label would have been provided at no cost to me. I used to use Newegg.com exclusively for new computer builds but will no longer.
Hi Jason,
I'm saddened to hear about this experience as you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get a functioning replacement item when the original was defective. I'd love to look into your situation further, please send us an e-mail to wecare@newegg.com with your order number so that we can work with you on ensuring you're getting your working item, a proper refund if needed as well as a price match if needed.
Thank you,
Dakota
Yes, I still go to BestBuy just to see what the newest graphics card, etc. is that is available. I never buy it from them though!: P
I highly recommend Newegg for those hardware pieces for your next computer build or rig-updating. They have great customer service and return policies, which is critical for new builders and the like since sometimes the technology just doesnt sync together properly and you have to swap out parts.
GREAT prices, great products.
Purchased a defective computer through Newegg. They wouldn't replace it, but did offer a refund. After numerous phone calls I finally have a refund for the piece of junk Surface Pro computer but a month after they received the returned product still no refund yet on the keyboard or software I purchased with the computer. It is not worth using this seller, avoid at all cost!
I have been dealing thin Newegg for the past 10 years or so. NEVER a bad deal. NEVER a regret dealing with them. ALL was always as expected and described at great price.
I (we) have been dealing thin Newegg for the past 10 years or so. NEVER a bad deal. NEVER a regret dealing with them.
Being on a fixed income, I had to purchase the components over a period of time. After two months I had a Asus Hero VIII, i5 processor, DD4 memory sticks, WD 1 tb hard drive, 750 watt power unit, Thermaltake G41 chassis, and a Asus 24 (?) inch monitor. ALL recommended by Newegg for a compatible build.
I'm not sure about the size or model of the monitor as it's in the shop being checked over. It quit after two weeks of use.
I installed all the components into my new chassis and fired up my new build. And... nothing. I checked and re-checked everything. Still nothing. The MB runs thru its diagnosis, says it's ready to go, but nothing. I took it to the computer shop. The Geek had it for a week. He couldn't get it to work.
Over the 4th of July, my Grandkid showed up. He's built over ten computers. He couldn't get it to run. I live adjacent to a private college prep high school. They have an outstanding 'Tech' center. The teacher and a couple of students couldn't get it running.
Bottom line is this. I can understand having a defective part or component. It happens. But to send all this crap and nothing works? The return policy is way over thirty days, so I'm stuck with it. Customer service is no help.
I now have a real pretty and expensive paper weight. Once I can save up some more money, I'll take it to a well equipped computer shop, and have them isolate which component is bad. Then I'll buy a replacement part. But I guarantee you it won't be from Newegg. Really. Why bother ordering from Newegg if all they are going to do is take your money in exchange for junk. Go somewhere else.
Hi Greg,
Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback. It sounds like one or more of your components may be defective which can happen from the factory. We're more than happy to look into your scenario further to provide you with additional assistance. Even with the components being past our return policy we can look into what options we have to better assist you.
Please send us an e-mail to wecare@newegg.com so that we can assist you.
Thanks,

So I used to love newegg. But today I had it with them. I created a cart worth approximately $9K from 6 different vendors because they have good prices. I placed the order with my credit card and BAM the bank calls me. They say there were 6 different charging attempts from 6 different companies so they block my account until I talk to bank's customer service supervisor. After I clear everything with the bank. BAM Neweggs user interface forces me to recharge 6 different orders.
Why would you charge a credit card 6 different times and expect any bank to clear it right away. Why cant they charge the car in one sum amount so the bank doesn't flag the transaction. And declines it. It cost me approximately 3 hours of going back and forward between newegg and the bank to complete the order. I am definitely not considering using newegg again. This whole experience should have been way smoother.
Answer: The reason why i gave a bad review was because i ordered a phone for my wife, An I-phone 5 and NewEgg.com only sent a box with the manual and a charger for the phone. I called NewEgg.com and explained to them and they stated i needed to wait while they investigate, they never got back to me so i called them again. The person i talked to put me on hold then came back to me and stated she was checking this what was going on and kept putting me on hold for a total of 45 minutes to only come back and tell me that i need to send them a picture of the box and contents. I have no clue what my wife or children did with the box now i am screwed. 219.00 down the drain. This was the first and last purchase i will make until the get this straight.
Answer: Amazon is much better, more reliable and customer friendly, especially if you are an international buyer (live outside U. S)
Answer: Use paypal when you buy, because if you have a serious problem Newegg will do everything it can to keep your money.The only thing they respect is getting a negative reputation with paypal.
Answer: Pay Pal will not help you. After several hours on the phone with PayPal and which ever company you bought from, you will still ultimately get screwed by PayPal or end up waiting 2 months before you get you money back, if at all.
