I've bought several things from them now (two hard drives, one motherboard, one CPU, a heatsink, etc) and all of it has gone smooth. Just recently I got a checking account through my parents, so I now have a debit card that I can use online. I just recieved one of my new hard drives and I only ordered it 3 days ago! Quick, easy, and great prices on refurb'ed items. Got two 40gig D740x Maxtor drives for $162 shipped (one refurb'ed)

Anybody else have any experiece with them? How was it?

Newegg has been great for me too. HT be very carefull using your debit card online. That is one of the first things security expersts will tell you is a no no.

Tried to order from them but they refused my cc because it was issued by a 'non US bank'!

Wasn't wise of them to put that on hard copy as I sent that to Visa Int'l and they confirm its illegal to refuse their card based on country/bank or whatever.

Very unhelpful when I tried to sort it out before turning over to Visa. Not very flexible but have a great site and selection of products.

Wish I could order.

Newegg.com is a good solid site. I recently ordered a USB 2.0 PCI Card & (1) Case Badge.
When I cheked out, the shipping came up to like ~$20.00 which I felt was Out of line. After I
questioned it, the sales dude at first gave me a canned response which didn't apply. I then replied and pointed out that he was wrong, he promptly issued me a credit of 50% of the original charge for shipping. That was cool that they actually checked it and not raped me for the original cost.

This is true but I never have much more money than is necessary to buy the item, in my account.

Positive experience here also =)
I ordered some rounded cables from them on Wednesday, they shipped them Thursday and I received them Yesterday. The thing is I only ordered the cheapest fedex shipping, yet I got them overnight. Great prices also, and unbeatable service.

I get everything Express Saver and i've never had anything take more than 2 days to get to me... Course their in Cali and i'm up in Washington State. Only had to RMA 1 thing with them and that was the first 1700+ i got but i don't think there was nothing wrong with it now... It was my motherboard.

Newegg has been great to buy from with good pricing and fast shipping.

Newegg has caused me a lot pain, sorrow and heartache.

But being a part time idiot, I will buy from them again. The one thing I do not like about Newegg is you have to eat shipping on rma items. That ain't right.

Most places i've ran into d_b are like that... Now in your case they should have paid for shipping but if a part goes out i don't have much problem paying the shipping costs as long as i get "new" stuff back i hate refurbed garbage...
