    depends on your location, their two main warehouses are in california, and tenesee (i think)...

    anyway, you should get it within 3-5 working days.

    I bought many times from them, got everything I ever bought..

    I`m going to take a guess and assume you`re Canadian, if so this
    applies.

    NewEgg has always been a safe bet for myself. One of their warehouses is located in Central new Jersey, everything I order arrives at my door within 2 business days regardless of the shipping I pick.

    yes, except their products are just as high quality as everything, as aposed to wal-marts products and other supermarkets.

    Nope, but it happens. They have no control over it.

    I cannot buy from Newegg because I am Canadian, but I would guess that if a part were to be defective you would send it back to where it came from, although there are probably more instructions on the website.

    typically between 1-5days in my experience, twice i got it in one or 2 days and once i got it in 5(apparently either the opteron 165s, antec TPII550W, or Ultra-Ds are only stocked in their memphis warehouse) from halfway accros america.

    worst experiences are minor, I didn't get included software with ym GFX card(expired 2 days before i purchaed and they didn't update their site) and I missed a 15% rebate on my ram. the exceptioanl stepping i got on my opteron more than make sup for both.

    remember, newegg only ships to america.

    in terms of pricing, they are cheapest for me after CA's 7.75% sales tax 90+% of the time, even mroeso than other sites without tax being applicable.
