Newegg and Fraud = DO NOT BUY FROM THERE


Recommended Posts

If anyone is still buying on Newegg, I would heavily advise against it.
They now have verified stores that are committing fraud by giving you fake tracking numbers, claiming they shipped and you received, and taking your money. I purchased a PNY M2 NVMe drive last week and they gave me a tracking number that never shipped, claimed another tracking number that I received at another location not even close to me. This seems to be a recurring theme now since the chinese bought Newegg recently.

Find another place to shop from. Ive been shopping from Newegg for almost 20 years and a top 1000 reviewer; Ive never had an issue up until recently, so please take my word for it and shop somewhere else!

Micro Center is a small US chain, of which there is a location near me that I frequent (and they have a web store). I highly recommend them. I think they also sell through Amazon but you can just use their website.

Yeah problem with that is that they are very few and far between and their store doesnt sell everything online. Trust me, I wish they did. I LOVE Microcenter.

What is there to gain by such behavior?

Chinese acquisition bought Newegg a while ago. Im convinced they destroy everything they touch intentionally.

I will also no longer buy from Newegg . Had a bad experience with inadequate packaging of a motherboard and resulting shipping damage . It's just not worth dealing with them when there are better options out there . 

I have never had a problem with B&H Photo , and will purchase from them what I might otherwise have from Newegg in the future . Unfortunately , the nearest Microcenter is about 400 miles from here....

Interesting to see the Gamers Nexus dustup with Newegg . Guess you have to be a mega-YouTuber to get treated (ultimately) fairly by that formerly-good company .

It is sad that Newegg has been in the news arena recently for the wrong reasons.
I have been watching their gpu combo sales for a long while now. Their prices seems the fairest among others beside microcenter.

With all these negative vibes, I would have to be cautious now with plans with Newegg.

I just learned of this today. I heard around the grapevine that scammers were prevalent on Newegg just recently which coincided with the chinese acquisition but just wrote it off as hearsay. Now after firsthand experience, never again. 20 years and over 10 grand spent there at least. Id rather move to a state where a microcenter was a 4 hour drive so I can avoid them from here on out.

Stopped ordering from them a while ago, the shipping part thru UPS or Fedex is a separate problem,
But something ordered Monday should not take until Friday to process, and then ship from NJ to VA on Monday and take 5 days to get here in a 2 day shipping zone for UPSG.

Then they started to push their premiere package for quicker shipping, if I order something sold by NewEgg from NJ, I dont need Premiere or next day shipping, 2 day shipping zone means I get it in 2 days normally, but they insist it's required.

Not to mention the last 3 orders, I selected and verified on my invoice that the items were supposed to be shipped to my Office, and yet I come home to the box sitting in front of my door.
So there's a disconnect between order processing and order shipping.

I've sent back multiple "Refurb/Reboxed" items one being a SSD with someone else's data still on it, another being a tablet, that also had another user's data on it (and mSD Card still in it).

I dont remember a time when Newegg was this bad, and it sucks because Id rather not shop on amazon. I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP ON AMAZON. I really wish Microcenter would expand online and take over that niche area and keep selling their video cards in store. Ive been to 5 different Microcenters and Ive loved every single one of them.

Little update - looking like a refund aint gonna happen. I can pull legit tracking numbers out my butt all day long, but aint enough to get Newegg to intervene. Really interested in seeing a class action lawsuit against Newegg for obvious fraud. Thats a train Im willing to get onboard with.

why are they asking about an Amazon Box?

 

the 9300 Tracking Number is a valod Fedex, the TBA is a reference trackimg number attached.

Such things suck !

We don't have Newegg over here but I would go crazy if that happened to me. 

Usually, when I order things of value at my usual place mindfactory.de I pay 5€ on top for Gold Service in case of RMA etc..

If the service sucks, avoid that place.

 

Hope you either get the drive or your money back

Never had a problem with Newegg until someone jinxed it for me a few weeks ago. But yeah the seller told Newegg that they shipped it via Amazon. That tracking number didnt get me anywhere.

although I stopped purchasing from them, I still know a lot of people that do and have similar problems.

The seller will be removed the same way amazon does it, but there's nothing stopping the seller from re-applying under a different name and continue the scamming, again, like amazon.

That's why I try to buy from Amazon directly if possible and not via unknown sellers. 

When I bought my board, it could have gotten it 45€ cheaper....NO...I gladly paid the extra cash to have it directly sold and sent from Amazon, just in case I need to RMA or such.

definately, always use that "show sold by amazon" filter

and if I look at my last 4 newegg invoices, they were sold through NewEgg by other companies.
