Newegg
 

I ordered some items from Newegg and noticed that one item is coming from a
reseller. I tried resellers on Amazon and generally (99.9% of the time) had
bad experiences. I learned that if Amazon isn't sending it then order it a
different way. The resellers on Newegg are also on Amazon.

Newegg also outsources its cell phone business. All very disappointing ...
but I guess the good times can't go on forever.

When searching at Newegg, I always select the option to only show items
that Newegg sells. If I wanted to find someone else selling the item
then I'd go somewhere else. When I go to Newegg, I want to buy from
Newegg and deal only with them.

If the item doesn't come from Newegg, you aren't covered by their return
policies. I was about to buy something from Newegg a few months back
but noticed it came from another vendor, not Newegg. I didn't think
much of it except I noticed in the reviews that users noted that returns
had to be dealt with the other vendor, not Newegg.

Be careful at Walmart's site, too. They also sell stuff from other
venders and similarly you'll have return problems.

you'll have return problems.

I ordered a book from Amazon one time and a reseller sent me a used book but
charged the new book price. I sent the book back and after a lot of back
and forth, Amazon finally refunded my money. The reseller closed then
opened again under a slightly different name.

The item item I ordered from Newegg is $7, so, I've written it off.
Assuming it even arrives, it'll probably be broken. The reseller model is a
nice scam for the resellers.

I've had the opposite experience with Amazon resellers, having
returned several items without any problem (other than paying for
shipping back). The most expensive item was the screen for a Motorola
smart phone, which I bought but couldn't install, and returned, which
was promptly refunded.

I've had only two bad experiences with resellers on Amazon.

In the first case I don't think they knew about the problem. I
specifically asked about the different appearance and was assured it
was nothing but a packaging change. Nope--the company that produced
it also nerfed the product when they changed the packaging. I would
have been happy with them simply taking it back and paying the return
shipping, they wouldn't agree and Amazon sided with me.

The second is currently ongoing--the company that "produced" (the name
on it, there's an outsourced supplier) it was unaware that the latest
version appears not to be compatible with XP. They have managed to
reproduce the failure with hardware in their own office and are
dealing with the supplier who says it works with XP. Since they seem
to be trying to solve the problem I'm giving them a chance to before
returning it.

Love my plug-in Induction StoveTop NewEgg plates. Updates to the pots
and pans, lots more stainless steel, including a SS pressure cooker.
And, it all began with a third/half off, at $50US, and a NewEgg link
transposed into Singapore;- something nice in comparative magnitudes
of thousands of dollars for an American "no jobber" brandname, by way
of integrated Induction stovetop updates.

Sent several out as gifts to people, matter of fact, to give them a
taste of nifty/neato technology (some didn't even "get it," induction,
until I'd explain/show what those upscale marketed American brandnames
were going for.)
