“Highly recommended for computer parts and electronics...”

Jun D.
12/1/10

Highly recommended for computer parts and electronics in general. Much wider selection than Best Buy, and better service than Fry's. Very quick standard shipping, usually arriving within 3 days. I've even purchased a few refurbished items, all of which continue to work.

Top Critical Review

“Canceled order - No communication”

rich R.
2/14/24

Placed an order on NEWEGG, they billed my credit card and without any notice they canceled my order 7 days later. I only found out after I went to my PayPal account and saw it was canceled. I will never buy from them again. They also allow resellers on their site so you never know if the merchandise is legit or new. Buyer beware...

After buying several items from their marketplace sellers and submitting reviews, I have found that they are never posted. I depend of the reviews to but products. I have been a long time customer of Newegg and they have built a good reputation for service and support. Newegg has sold us out by making it appear that the marketplace sellers will give the same service and support. Beware as the marketplace sellers do not provide any real customer service. I have been a long time customer and they are very helpful the few times I had problems with orders. They have sold out to make a little more money from third party sellers. I will no longer do business with them because I have to always check to see if it is Newegg of just some fly by night third party seller. The product listed below is what I have switched to not the item I have problems with. The Seller is Anran and have lied about the ship from location and the items specs. On the item page it clearly states "Shipped from the US" but tracking states it was shipped from Hong Kong China.
Update: I canceled the Newegg order and they shipped it anyway. So now I have to refuse shipment and dispute the charges with my card provider.

Tip for consumers:
If you want to have some support and service just go to A or E web sites

On Newegg always check "Sold and Shipped from Newegg" and you should be fine

I replaced the Anran with a Dragon Touch K4W10 from Amazon

You basically have no idea when a product is arriving. They give you a tracking number but is useless. They just don't care when they do get hold of them. Will never order from them again.

I stopped using newegg.com a few years ago and never looked back. Why? Well it all had to do with their shady returns. They would not offer returns on certain items unless it had the newegg iron egg guarantee, which you had to pay extra for.

I ordered a pair of headphones and was disappointed with how they fit. I tried to return them for another pair but newegg said I could only return them if I ordered a pair that was the same price or MORE expensive. I ordered a $150 set of headphones and there were no other options at the same price range so I could only buy a more expensive set ( the next pair of headphones were about $225-250. I asked if I could purchase a slightly cheaper set and add additional item to cover the difference so they did not have to issue any refunds, they said NO.

Why exactly would I shop at newegg if I can't return anything?

Newegg is great UNTIL you have to return something.

I would like to state that I used Newegg for both business and personal use for many years, spending thousands of dollars. Newegg makes it seem like they are doing you a favor by returning a product, whether it be due to recieving a DOA or just a POS item. Newegg changed sometime after 2005-2006 and their excellent customer service suffered greatly and now it just sucks. At one time I would have never even considered purchasing at any place other than Newegg but now I only use the site as a research tool for parts. They do have excellent pictures of items and complete descriptions of all product details.

Hi Matt,

We’re terribly sorry to hear about your return experience.

Our return policy varies between items and isn’t required to be (Iron Egg) Price Guarantee to be returned. You can find the return policy for the specific item in the Warranty & Returns tab on the product page.

We’d like to take a further look into this for you and provide you with any available options, so please feel free to email us at wecare@newegg.com with your order details.

Thank you,

The service was horrible. Totally terrible i do not recommend to purchase things on this website. I had purchased a freedompop sumsung phone on cyber monday, i got a great deal on it, but my credit card wasnt go through. On the following day i realized, then i change another credit card to pay it. But the void my payment. I been on HOLD for 1 hour for calling customer service.
After calling, they said that they could not help me much, and ask me purchased it agin. I asked what problem was the transaction, and they told me that I included my first and middle name wrongly. I can confirm that i did not insert may name wrongly. And they already void the payment. So they cant do much for me and ask me to purchase the item again.
But the deal had increased from $130+ to $350. Is wasnt fair for me. But they do not make any effort to make any changes for me. And the most the willing to give me an offer of $300. Before cyber monday the deal was only $140, on cyber mon it self the deal wasnt much different but they added free items, now the raised the price from $140 to $300.

Please think wisely before you purchase item at this website.

Their customer service is HORRIBLE. They wont help you at all. DONT hope they will help you.

Tip for consumers:
compare price before you make purchase

SEVEN attempts and FOUR DAYS spent trying to place an $1800 order for a laptop computer all voided or cancelled by newegg. Credit card used has 20K limit and credit is stellar. Tried to call newegg, no response. Emailed newegg, no response. Placed order with AMAZON WITH NO PROBLEMS. STAY AWAY FROM NEWEGG, they are incompetent knuckle draggers. I'll never deal with them again or recommend them to anyone.

I bought GPU international purchase and a problem happen in the customs they did not want to solve the problem to get the package back and refund me untill I used a US attorny to make them refund me. I tried all ways with customer support but they rude and hangup the chat on my face

Verified purchase

I purchased a CPU around 9:30pm and called to cancel in the morning at 9:00am... I was told they couldn't cancel because a tracking # had already been assigned to the order, but the order was never picked up by UPS for 11 more hours, plenty of time to cancel that order. I noticed they immediately charged my account the $307 for the order. A customer service person said he would have the order intercepted, but that didn't happen, then he told me to just refuse them order when UPS showed up with it. I refused the order when UPS got here. So instead of refunding me my money for a package that should have been cancelled or intercepted, they are making me wait until the package is returned to them, which happened yesterday, it took a over a week for it to get back to them, and now they tell me it will take 2-4 days just to process the return and another 3-5 days for the refund to happen. They have been using my $300 for 2 weeks while I wait for them to refund my money for an item I never touched. Amazon has these guys beat big time. Screw Newegg.com, I will buy any where else but from them now. At least Amazon refunds my money immediately after getting a return package scanned by UPS.
PS, I had been doing business with Newegg.com, prior to this for at least 15 years... they have gone to hell!

Tip for consumers:
Use Amazon instead of Newegg.com or buy in your local area.

I ordered a pair of speakers from their website 16 days ago. The seller was actually a private one but there were no indications of this in any of the emails I received, and it was not clear in the item webpage. Package never even shipped, I contacted the seller but thephone number is not active any more, never replied to my 3 emails. I then contacted Newegg's customer service 4 times, they did not know what to do but sending the seller an email. This happened 8 days ago, no answer yet. Even to obtain a refund newegg has first to contact the seller who needs to agree and reply to the customer, which has not happened yet. The worst web shopping experience I've ver had.

UPDATE: newegg customer service immediately contacted me after posting the review, telling me that the sellers provided for a replacement and the item would arrive in 24 hours. I would be ok, except that two days before I had asked for a refund and the newegg's agent told me they would have processed the refund quickly and internally. Thus I replied to the email explaining that I had asked for a refund and I did not want the item anymore, given that in the meantime I had bought it from another seller. More 36 hours have passed and no reply. These guys do not care about customers, but they seem to care about bad reviews. More updates will follow.

I have never and will never order from this site. I had someone use my Visa/Debit card to make a purchase with them. Very long story short is: I find the fraudulant charge and gather my own info to determine where the item was being shipped to. I notify the not so friendly or helpful customer service to advise them to stop the shipment because the purchase was a theft. They do this which only helps them out (I know, very nice of me to alert them). But when I try to get the info as to what was the purchase for totaling over $170.00, they tell me they can't give me any information because I don't have the thief's e-mail and password. So I ask them, "so it's ok that someone uses MY credit card, with My name, and MY phone number to make a purchase, and they can call you to get info about this transaction but I can't?" I was told yes, because it's their Newegg account... go figure.

Anyway, I have the police detective call them because two people in customer service tell me that the detective can get the info... but when the detective calls, they tell them they can't give it out and they will have the fraud dept. call them. Well so far no call from fraud (not surprising).

So... here is what I have learned. If anyone makes a purchase with Newegg using stolen identity/credit card... let the thief have the item, file the fraud form with your bank and let Newegg eat the cost of the loss... Sorry I ever stopped the shipment for them. I will never order from them, and have already told the large office I work for to never purchase from them. Their customer service stinks!

DO NOT EVER order from their "marketplace". These vendors simply steal your money, and NewEgg just assists them in the process.

I ordered products shown as in stock from a "vendor" - HotDealz4Less. So right off the bat, my fault, just look at the name of the vendor. Nothing professional there for sure.

They took two weeks to ship a package, and they shipped the cheaper version with a similar part number. After waiting a total of 3 weeks to receive this (keep in mind, could have bought from Amazon and had it in two days!), it took another week to get a return label.

I shipped it back, they received the return in 4 days. It's been two more weeks, and nothing. No refund. I've tried contacting the "vendor" directly, contacting NewEgg through every means possible with the constant "Give us the tracking information and we'll look in to it" followed by days later "Please give the vendor more time to process your return". ARE YOU SERIOUS? These people stole my money a month and a half ago, I've never been shipped the product I ordered, they received the wrong items they shipped me back almost 2 weeks ago. What could possible be the rationale that they need more time to process the return?

NEVER, I mean N-E-V-E-R again. If NewEgg was the last place on earth left to buy a product, I'd live without. They will never receive another penny of my business.

BUYER BEWARE! Look at the reviews here, I'm far from alone in this experience of absolutely ABYSMAL customer treatment.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT order from any "vendor" on their marketplace. There is no such thing as a "marketplace guarantee" - Newegg does not assist in any way, they just allow the "vendor" to steal your money.

I purchased a new Asus laptop for grad school. It had issues from day 1. I contacted NewEgg support who informed me that I cannot return the laptop because I don't have the original box. I had to send it into Asus for repair - which they replaced my motherboard.

Have it back for a couple of weeks and now I can't get it to turn on. Call Asus and have to send it back in. Contact NewEgg and can't return because it's out of 30-days. Plus I don't have the original box, plus I sent it in for repairs so that would void my ability to return it anyway (wow super helpful add).

Basically no one can help - except "great news", I can send it in for repairs through Asus. In the past 2 months, I've barely been able to use my brand new laptop for grad school.

I am extremely disappointed in NewEgg/Asus policies and will only buy macs from now on. While I know this is an exception (as my Software Architect boyfriend loves Asus and NewEgg), I can't believe this is a real situation where a company will not refund a completely defective computer. I am stuck with an unreliable brand new laptop.

Moral of the story - keep that stupid box
Real moral of the story (my version) - pay the 2x cost to buy another mac

I purchased a refurbished Hoover Quick & Light Carpet Shampooer through Newegg. Paid for extra fast delivery because I REALLY NEEDED TO CLEAN THE CARPETS DUE TO PET ISSUES. It did arrive quickly. And that is the only good thing in my experience. The box it was packed in was so flimsy and the packing material was flimsy paper. Pieces of the unit were broken off. THE DAMNED HOSE is missing. The ATTACHMENTS ARE MISSING. When I contacted Newegg their response was "Well it was REFURBISHED so the hose and attachments are not included!" You have GOT to be kidding me! Are these guys serious. Who the hell would buy anything like a carpet shampooer OR sell one and not include the hose? It doesn't work without the hose! What the!*@*! Are you supposed to do? Imagine a hose and let the shampoo just sit in the well? Do NOT purchase anything through these morons. Seriously - you have got to be kidding me! And I am out $80+ on this bull*!@@!

Jane Favor - Mukilteo, WA

Tip for consumers:
I will give Newegg props for providing pick-up at my location of the package and shipping it back to them at their expense and issuing a full refund. The process took about 10 days but in the end I received a full refund.

A caution to those buying ANYTHING REFURBISHED: I received this shampooer MINUS THE HOSE and was told that wasn't included in the refurbished unit which makes absolutely not one whit of sense. it doesn't work without the hose. For only a little more I was able to purchas
