I order about 75% of all my computer supplies, parts,
hardware, accessories, etc, from NewEgg. The other 25% comes
from ZipZoomFly.com, TigerDirect.com and the big 4 retailers
(BestBuy, CompUSA, Staples, OfficeMax). From NewEgg, I've
ordered video cards, RAM, hard drives, computer towers,
printers, CD-ROM drives, etc. I've never once received
anything defective from NewEgg. From TigerDirect, every time
I order a tower from them, at least the first one comes in
broken. Several times even the replacement came broken. But,
that's TigerDirect. With NewEgg, nothing has ever come
broken.
The only bad thing with NewEgg is this: if you have a
defective item sent to you, YOU are responsible for paying
for postage back to them.

Thanks Troth,
I've ordered at least a dozen things from TigerDirect,
motherboards,
drives, RAM and monitors. Haven't had a single problem yet.

Hi all,
I've also ordered from TigerDirect for four years without a
problem.
The staff is very accommodating..just call.
