In reply to the discussion: TigerDirect -- STAY AWAY FROM THEM! Going out of business while taking $1250 of my son's money! [View all]lpbk2713
(43,282 posts)7. NewEgg will screw you too.
I bought an HP 4-in-1 printer from them because is was rated high in Consumer Reports magazine and because it was on sale for $222. I started installing it the next day after I received it. It worked OK on the first two PCs on the SOHO network. But it died about two hours into the setup. No sign of life after that. To make the long story short ... I sent several emails back and forth. They would take a few days to reply to mine and some of their emails just didn't make any sense, I found out later they had their reason for that. One thing mentioned in the ad that I ordered it from said "30 day no questions asked replacement guarantee". They kept asking for info I had already given them and wasting time in various other ways. They used up the 30 day return period with obvious time wasting nonsense. The one thing NewEgg didn't waste any time on was letting me know the 30 days was up and "sorry" but I would have to return it to HP. That would mean I would have to pay to send it to them and there would be no assurance they would repair or replace it at no charge. So now it sits in my garage in the original shipping box, good for nothing more than a $222 paper weight. I have bought many things from them in the past over a period of about ten years but now that I have learned my lesson I will not be so eager to buy from them in the future. That will teach me about buying anything from NewEgg in the future. Apparently $222 is a high enough price to them to make them consider ending a business relationship.

since they didn't deliver the product and cancelled the order, no sale took place.

that's the problem here. Not that no sale took place, but that they are obviously in trouble

I never had a problem with New Egg but I think you have to call them at that point.

You might think of one of those prepaid debit cards. Works like the money order you load it up

Wow. Not that I'd give them cash, but figured I'd check out the site to see if there were any deals
