Still waiting on Egg Saver
Beware of Egg Saver Shipping
Just a word of warning for my computer repair friends.
I am a huge fan of Newegg.com and have been a loyal customer for many years. I have always been more than pleased with their customer service and the speed at which I receive my purchases. Only on 2 occasions have I felt the need to rush an order and use a faster shipping method. Most often I chose the default option and always had my packages in several days.
Although this is not to do with Newegg directly, I thought I would share this experience so you do not make the same mistake I did. The bold is directly from the tracking report.
1/2/2009 9:19 AM ET ORDER PLACED WITH NEWEGG
MEMORY CARD AND READER, $X.XX, $3.99 Egg Saver (3-7 Days)

1/15/2009 4:34 PM ET KILLINGTON VT, CLIENT CALLS AND CANCELS
1/15/2009 4:42 PM ET KILLINGTON VT, RETURN TO SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS
Now to be fair, I contacted Newegg Customer Service via email and received a timely response and an offer for $5 off my next order. It was my mistake for not noticing the basic shipping method had changed. I will also say however that I have received things from Hong Kong and Alaska in much less time via the USPS. I think the thing that bothers me most is that someone was counting on my word that it usually only takes a couple days.
Update: I have since been contacted again and told I will receive a refund and a credit on my next purchase, time will tell.
