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. |

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. |

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. |

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.) |
