Used to use Newegg, no more though
I used to order from newegg all the time. In the past, I found them to be a bit more expensive than other places, but you can't necessarily trust those fly by night places anyway.
I won't be using them anymore though. Last year I was ordering a bunch of parts around Valentine's Day and was dismayed by their shipping policies. I was ordering a bunch of things, including 2 cables. Each of these cables bore an excessively high shipping cost.
When I called to inquire whether that was accurate, the lady at the call center was incredibly rude. It wasn't just that I wasn't hearing what I wanted to hear...she was rude from the very begining.
She explained that the cable may come from a different place than, say, the motherboard - this is why each item gets its own individual shipping charge - or whatever. The conversation went something like that. Well, I decided not to place my order and won't again. I much prefered them when they just had fedex and did the free-supersaver on everything.
On a sidenote, the replacement I found for newegg was tigersdirect. I don't think I'll be ordering from them anymore either, especially after reading all the negative posts on here about TD. I never had a problem with them, but the few times I ordered from them I got what I ordered and no rebates were involved. I probably of had a headache if I got the wrong stuff or it was damaged, not going to take that risk again. On reflection, shipments did take a long time.
