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.

Very solid shopping experience. Never had a problem with payment or reciving the item. 5/5 stars services^^
I purchased a defective wireless speaker from Newegg. The would only issue a store credit because the product was sold out. The product was returned on day 30. I won't do business hear again. Low quality with poor service.
New egg was great when it was JUST new egg. Now with 3rd party vendors, the service has went WAY down. IF you want another choice, try Micro Center. Better customer service and they have really good prices. Stay away from new egg.
I tend to purchase my items here. Never had any issues with my orders. Fast shipping and items are true what the description has.
Even on sale, often cheaper on Amazon.com.
Challenging web site, difficult returns, slow shipping.
Prices unless on sale are way too high, many items on sale cheaper elsewhere when not on sale.
I was a big fan of NewEgg several years ago, now rarely buy anything.
Too many hoops to jump through, often sale promotions are not available for 1 reason or another. Out of stock or color is other then what I want, not on sale.
If you live in USA, that's fine but they don't give a thing to people outside their country AKA, yellow people like me. They're most racist seller in this whole world.
Hello Pattarawut,
When it comes to the promotional game codes supplied by nVidia we are given NA region locked codes which is why they're only offered/bundled on our North American websites. We apologize if you feel this is discriminatory as that is definitely not the case. We appreciate your understanding in this situation.
Thank you,

This company will be a continued source of my shopping needs. They are always willing to help out with your order and questions. Just recently something had gone wrong with my order. All I needed to do was call them and, without hesitation, they fixed the issue perfectly. Great customer service and great deals too!
Nothing to complain about. When I need something, first of all I visit Newegg and if I don't find for what I've came for, only then start to find anywhere else, but it happens not too often.
New Egg still too high. Same printer: New Egg $549 STAPLES(!) $399
Riding on a good name for how many years, now? Too bad for the customers who don't shop around or read reviews.
Hello Robert,
Thank you for leaving this feedback. We would love to look into this matter further for you to see why there is such a dramatic difference in our price vs the specified competitor. Could you please send us an e-mail with a link to the item at wecare@newegg.com.
Thank you,

We're in Canada, bought a smartphone online. They sent us a U.S. phone which, unbeknownst to us, annuls the manufacturer's warranty. Totally unethical business practice.
Hi Simon,
We apologize for the way this transactions has left you feeling, we make sure to list whether items have a specific warranty or lack thereof on the item page. If you'd like to return the item we're more than happy to assist you in getting that set up, simply send us an e-mail to wecare@newegg.com with your order info.
Thank you,

I ordered iPhone 6s on eBay from them they cancelled the order the reason is my PayPal does not have a conform address for me. Weird never had issued ordering from newegg previously and all orders shipped went to new egg website and my order was accepted
Bought a new Galaxy s7 Edge from NewEgg for over $600. After 6 months, it died. I called Samsung Tech, they told me to call NewEgg since it's an International version. It refused to power on. I called NewEgg, they said since I do not have the original case that came with the phone, I am out of luck and there is nothing they can do. I told them I have a sale order# and customer receipt from New Egg, still they insisted that there is nothing they can do without the original phone case. Who in this day and age keeps their phone case after they open it? It's absurd and ridiculous. In the past, I have spent over thousands of dollars on this website. I do not recommend buying anything from this website with their policy you buy it you own it, no return policy.
The worse eComerce Customer Support Experience EVER!
You have been warned!
Ordered the majority of my pc parts from newegg and they all came very quick and working great! Very happy with my purchases!
Despite of the fact it was a bit better before - the shop is still reliable and good. And accepting multiple e-currencies which is also a great plus.
Get a new customer service team. They are awful and rude. Marie is the worst and gives you attitude when you are simply trying to resolve your issue. Since this company has been bought out, the services have gone completely downhill. Customer service treats you like garbage and then when you call them out on it, you get a measly 20 bucks as if that's the magic wand to fix the problem. Thinking that you can provide dog crap tier customer service and then buy back the customer is silly and would not be necessary if your team treated people like human beings. I have unsubscribed from all promotions and will not be a return customer. The only reason I will return to newegg is to further tarnish neweggs image for their laughable attempt at getting return business. Amazon happily took my money and will be getting me what newegg couldn't on time. Been a customer with newegg since 2012 (sadly) and have literally watched as my used to be favorite retailer dropped like a pooh in a toilet. I will do everything I can to make sure people know not to shop newegg anymore.
After many years of me trusting them solidly, it is clear they are coming under new management. It appears their policy, to save money of course, is to simply resell returned/defective products (as openbox) to have customers review, diagnose and determine whether it works. I have now received power supplies without 110v pins, RAM with damaged connectors, and motherboards that don't LED ON for self diagnostics (cause: fried capacitors). Purchase the tools to better diagnose these events in the future, and suddenly it ships from China taking 7 weeks to arrive to deal with problems that are immediate, and their fault.
I just made 2 more purchases with them to customize and repair some PCs, which I usually provide the receipt to customers so they can see the costs and labor. Newegg placed a discount from the first purchase, on the second receipt, making it look like the parts cost $30 less than what I paid for. That was very weird! Charges/refunds coming off from one order, and showing up on another!
Then they sent me the tracking number for these orders, and they were tracking from -other people's shipments-, -last month-. I now have no tracking, and less valid receipts for my business and customers to work with. I now have to come up with excuses for Newegg. And do they expect me to fabricate these receipts an tracking and function fraudulently to maintain proper paperwork appearances?

I'm having a difficult time simply updating my credit a card and address change page. It didn't work properly and calling Customer Service was a waste of my time! The man didn't fix anything and I could not speak to anyone above him.

I ordered something on Newegg and they wrote saying they needed verification of info. I called and gave it to them, but they still didn't manage to verify the info with my credit card company, so they simply cancelled the order and never told me, not only that they blocked the account. When I realized my order was not delivered I called to find out why--the same problem--no verification. I personally connected them to my credit card company and they still couldn't manage the verification, simply, of my address and phone number. I have outstanding credit and have never had such a problem in my life. I stayed on the phone with them for quite some time, finally gave up, and ordered the item from Amazon, which I should have done in the first place.
Hello Kate, We thank you for your interest in purchasing from Newegg. I apologize for the experience you had with your most current order. All orders would need to go through our Order Verification. This is done so our Verification Team can contact your card issuing bank to ensure it is you making the purchase. I would like too investigate your situation and see what information I can gather for you on future orders. While we don't call the bank with the customer on the phone for the process, I would like to see who you spoke with and see what we can do to have things run smoother during our processing time frame in the future. Would you mind emailing us at wecare@newegg.com with your order number?
Thank you,

Its a good platform as for me. Everything found in one place, the prices can be sometime higher than those of the other stores but again - its all in one place. Be sure to use tracking of your parcels - those are easily lost, or thats me who is unlucky =/
Bought a phone but the merchant didn't want to return the money I paid. I had to call up NewEgg to get the refund a few times. It took a while, but NewEgg finally refunded my money. I would recommend everyone who returns something to make sure they keep their tracking number, otherwise there is not proof you returned it.
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.
Answer: Hello Tony! Newegg now accepts Bitcoin as payment for most order types. Here is some general information about Bitcoin on Newegg. https://kb.newegg.com/knowledge-base/using-bitcoin-on-newegg/ Kindly, Lindsay [Newegg Support]

Hi David,
Thank you for this review. We can look into your return and see if we can get it changed to a regular refund but with the product being out of stock we wouldn't be able to provide a replacement.
Thank you,
