I've had the misfortune of dealing with Newegg and NCIX customer service on multiple occasions, and without a doubt Newegg is WAY, WAY better. If these stores customer service were bands, NCIX would be Nickelback and Newegg would be any band that is not Nickelback. That's how badly NCIX's customer service sucks. While I prefer to support Canadian companies and try to buy locally to avoid the hassle of RMA's, if I have to order online I'll take Newegg over NCIX any day of the year because of their superior customer service.
I ordered from newegg.ca a few weeks ago - some verbatim blank dvds. I had four spindles being shipped to me from Canada. Three out of the four spindles were broken. The plastic wrap was partially torn off 3 of them, and the black "post" things that go through the dvds were actually snapped off from the base on 2 of them. The other one had a cracked base. When I twsited the lid off a cake box, I didnt know the post was broken off, and dvds went everywhere. I contacted newegg and customer service was crappy to say the least. The other thing was the box was in perfect shape. No dings, bumps, scratches or anything on the box. It was pristine, so I am VERY confident that damage didnt happen during shipping and happened at the source before being shipped.
The other part of my order, came from the states and although it arrived I was never given a proper tracking number that the courier could recognize.
It was my first order ever with newegg, and my last - I wont be ordering from them again.
I bought the panasonic phones from newegg and the tracking number newegg provided does not work on purolator site or newegg site. I guess that number must be kind of "internal receipt number" between newegg and purolator which can not be tracked by the customer. Newegg can probably save a few bucks in that way.
I just had the same issue, I purchased a WD 3TB drive, they email me a tracking number that does not come up on the Purolator website. I waited couple of days and still nothing, I sent then an email asking for the correct tracking number, the reply was it is correct, call Purolator at their 1-800 number. Hack of a customer service...Quote:

I won't be purchasing anything from them again, lousy customer service, to me customer service is very important, if you try to treat me like crap after getting my money, I will make sure others don't make the same mistake I made...
I recently made 4 purchases from Newegg. One was shipped from their Toronto warehouse. It showed up on Purolator's tracking site a few hours after Newegg sent me an e-mail confirmation. The other orders were shipped from Edison, NJ. The Purolator tracking numbers for them didn't work for a few days until after they entered Canada. Then they got updated normally. Here's an example of the last shipment that I'm expecting today. (It was ordered on Saturday and was shipped on Sunday.)

I've ordered thousands of dollars of product from NewEgg.ca, and never had a problem. I've even been shocked a few times at the speed of delivery. I ordered a laser drum/toner on Wednesday at 9:30am, and it showed up at my door on Thursday at 11am. Christmas presents this year were ordered on Dec 11th, and all arrived by Dec 17th. I've always been quite happy with their service.Quote:

Same here.Quote:

Unfortunately that's the RFD way, at least for some people. They have a bad initial experience and immediately jump to the [wrong] conclusion, condemning the seller out-of-hand. However...Quote:

1. If these sorts of threads were to be believed then there would be few if any retailers that would be "RFD-approved."
2. If Newegg was generally as bad as this thread suggests then they'd have gone bankrupt years ago.
bylo, I'm in Calgary. That's part of the reason I was amazed.
Why do people continue to compare ncix to newegg? they are two different sites.
For me personally, I think ncix has a god awful ugly website, so i don't order from there. Newegg is nicer and easier on the eyes.
I've never had a problem from newegg, i've purchased 3 computers, a laptop, a tablet & a bunch of small things from them. I don't hound their tracking information. When it gets here, it does, or i receive a card telling me to pick it up at the local sports store.
I've ordered from them a few times, on 2 occasions I got my order the next day. I've never had a problem.
Why do people judge a book by its cover and retailers by the aesthetics of their website? ;)Quote:

1. Some people need need accurate and timely tracking information because (a) they need the item ASAP and/or (b) they ordered bulky and/or heavy items and thus they have to stay home on the day their purchase is supposed to be delivered.Quote:

2. Some people don't live near a pick-up outlet so having to go get the package is a major inconvenience.
