“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.

“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...

While many of my geek friends like this site for their prices, and yes, the prices are good... forget about customer service. I bought a coffee maker at a great price. It arrived safely. Since it was brand new and was a gift, I set it up as a surprise and ditched the box but kept the upc for a rebate. Bad idea. The coffee make was defective and didn't even work. So I called customer service about getting a refund or credit, whatever. I knew the return policy required the original box and I owned up to that. I at least expected something. I was told no that without the original box they wouldn't take it back. So I escalated to a supervisor and got the same answer, even told it was my problem. I emailed my discontent and was ignored. I tweeted my discontent and was ignored. So I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and they took my coffee maker back with no receipt, knowing I purchased it elsewhere. Turns out the unit was discontinued and had been pulled from all BB & B shelves and wasn't even on the manufacturer website... hmmm? I get it now. BB & B found me a better unit, gave me a hefty discount to offset the price differential and I ended up paying less for a more expensive unit and ended up with $80 in store credit ta boot! Too bad... so sad Newegg! When I tweeted what BB & B did, Newegg decided to respond - with an HOUR tweeting back that they'd be glad to look in to the problem if I'd forward the original email to so and so. So I did and they still ignored me. Twice they ignored me. So I tweeted that. And they still ignored me. Guess Newegg doesn't want my business. Oh hey! They won't be getting it! Boo Newegg. You smell rotten

On 10/30/2018 i ordered PlexDisc 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 50 Packs Logo Top Disc Model 632-810. They arrived on 11/06/18... tried a few of them and not 1 would burn. So i wrote them on an online chat, explained my situation.
Annie, is whom i spoke to, who was very helpful. Issued a refund. Here is where it gets ugly. On my CC statement, it looks like they are trying to charge me twice.
So i opted for another online chat today(11/10/18). Spoke to Hayline this time, who was disrespectful and argued with me stating my money was issued back to me. Now all the while looking at my cc statement and it still shows -6.98 instead of +6.98... i know this doesn't seems like alot of money. But the issue isnt the money, its the principle. You buy something, you expect it to function as advertised. When it doesnt, you want a refund right? Well, so do i and that is how i see it and what i bought did not function like it should have. So i got the run-a-round while waiting 40+ minutes to even be acknowledged in the first place.(you are placed in a queue when you start an online chat)... anyhow... i won't be shopping at newegg.com any longer and Hayline is to blame.

Now to all you potential newegg.com shoppers out there, be warned, if you purchase something and it does not work as described... good luck in getting on your refund and you may also be charged twice for it. You would be better off shopping at an accredited place of business with good customer serve like amazon.com instead.

If i do end of finally getting my refund, to which i will not hold my breath on. I will amend this review, until then, it is true and i stand by it.

Hello Christopher,

I want to apologize for any troubles you have experienced in regards to you not receiving your refunds. This definitely does sound odd as I am showing on our end that a refund was issued back to your original form of payment. Nonetheless, I'd like to ask you send us a private message to further look into this matter for you. I look forward to your response.

Thank you,
Louis [Newegg Support]
