Newegg or ZipZoomFly?

For people who have shopped at both Newegg and ZipZoomFly, which one do you prefer and why? I'm trying to decide where to buy parts for a new system build and to save me some time I'd like to get them all at one place.

I have shopped at both but when ZipZoomFly was known as googlegear. I really like NewEgg though there customer service is outstanding. I am always amazed when I order an item from them that it is always on time but usually a day early. If I have a problem with any part I order I can count on being able to return it with no hassles and have my new order to me ASAP. I have built a number of machines with parts I have ordered from NewEgg and I have never been let down.

Google changed their name because ppl thought they were associated with google.com? lol

Have ordered from both, never been let down by either.

I go with newegg more.

Thanks for the replies.

I noticed that ZipZoomFly has free 2-day air shipping for a lot of their items, but I don't think it makes a difference to me because I live in CA. Are there any votes for ZipZoomFly?

Newegg has done a great job for me in the last year. Between Newegg and MWave, I don't even mess with anyone else.

Stay away from zipzoomfly. Run like Hell!!Several people inclding myself had real bad problems with them returning stuff. They also send out bad items, returned items to customers. They rotate returns around. They are nothing but liars and just want to 'zipzoomfly' with your money. The worst online merchant ever in my experience. As long as your product works (if you get a good one) its fine. Otherwise you're screwed. Don't run with merchants like this to save a few bucks. You can't even be sure if they shipped you a bad product.
Read all the bad reviews about them (good reviews are sometimes faked) and see the nightmare stories. I'm taking them to BBB and claims.

Zipzoomfly, run, walk, just get away

I bought a motherboard and processor for my computer from zipzoomfly. It never worked, so I sent it back for repair/replacement. They told me the pins on the processor were bent (I didn't do that!) and refused to refund my money. I have a complaint in to the BBB, and I put a stop payment on my credit card. If you look at their report on the BBB under their old name of googlegear, you'll see they have an unsatisfactory rating.

Because of zipzoomfly, I bought from newegg. The processor, ironically enough, was sent with bent pins (I checked before opening it). I sent it back and had no problems with them. They were nice, courteous, and easy to deal with. The cost difference was minimal, and more than worth the extra few dollars to have the company correct a problem. Also, they are a member of the BBB with a satisfactory rating.

Go with newegg. Just zip, zoom, fly, run, take a train, anything away from zipzoomfly.

I hear more good things about Newegg than ZipZoomFly. I think I know what company to go with....

I have shoped at both companies regularly and have never been let down by either. Both have great service.
