If your order goes through without problems, you'll be satisfied.

If your experience is like my current one, you may want to consider another retailer.

I ordered an new Samsung flat panel monitor with 3 day shipping. My order was promptly LOST! All I could get from Newegg was UPS 'Billing information received'.

Called Newegg on third day (still no tracking data on Newegg or UPS) and got hold of pleasant person who promptly blew me off, said 'Wait another 48 hours'. So I waited another day.

Day 4 checked tracking, still lost. I went on line chat method this time (at least had a copy of the conversation). Nice enough rep placed an internal order to replace my LOST monitor and told me thanks.

Day 5 checked tracking, still lost. Replacement order still in step 1 (the rep didn't mention any DELAYS!! Went on line chat again, new guy says 3 to 5 business day delay on replacement order processing. Okay, I'm now 5 days into a guaranteed 3 day shipping. Asked new guy for options. He suggests canceling the replacement order, I place a new order (old order is still lost) and the rep tells me that he 'Requested a refund for my 'lost' order'. Whew! Think things are better NOT!

Day 6, new monitor arrives (rush, next day shipping). I'm a happy guy.... NOT! No credit to my account for the 'lost' monitor! Well maybe I'll have to wait, all too true.

Day 7, lost monitor shows up on my porch! TROUBLE REALLY BEGINS!!! Contact newegg on line again to return 'lost' monitor. Nice enough rep emails me an RMA (fair enough) but does not include shipping (I didn't notice until I had concluded the on line chat).

Sooo contacted newegg AGAIN, nice enough rep says will credit my acount $15 for shipping, okay, I ship the monitor back to newegg.

STILL NO CREDIT TO MY ACCOUNT FOR THE MONITOR OR SHIPPING!!


BE VERY AFRAID IF YOU HAVE A LOST ORDER WITH NEWEGG!!!!!

Sorry for the long post, just needed to vent.
If UPS lost the shipping what is NewEgg supposed to do about it? They can't change the laws of physics. Lost shipping is UPS fault.

There was no reason not to wait like the rep asked... nothing wrong with that.

It is not like they can keep your money if you used a credit card. You will get your credit but they will probably wait until their monitor is back to issue it... for all they know you could try to keep it without sending it back and then charge back on them. Did you ever think of that?

Let us know if they refuse to issue your credit after they receive the monitor back.
