Newegg CANADA? Looks like....

[b1lk1]

I hope you're right SKYMTL. As I said, I am merely speculating and the thought of some real CS has me wanting to see this up and running now instead of later. I won't crap this thread up with my negative thoughts anymore, I will just monitor it for the good news to come.

[SKYMTL]

Hey, if you have negative thoughts please post them. I happen to like hearing people interjecting a bit of caution into the air.

If there are others then I will eat my words but from my experience, other out of Quebec etailers that are more than happy to ship nation-wide, couldn't give a hoot about the 8 million+ francophones who live in Canada.

In all reality, if this possibility of bilingual customer service is a sign of the things to come, then we may very well get Newegg's great service here as well.

Wow.. CSR at a computer etailers.. imagine the mind numbing idiocy you have to deal with there

"Hello??!?? I posted my order at 11:59PM on Saturday and it didn't get processed until 8am Monday.. WTF??!?!? GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES, LOOK ON THE SHELF BEHIND YOU AND GET ME MY PART!!!!"

ahhh...

Heh, the same Skymtl from NCIX forum. That's most likely going to be what most ncix's "loyal customers" will do just like we do most of the time with DC. The only reason I would order on DC instead of price-matching through NCIX, would be to use the bonus of having free ground shipping on a order of 300$ and over, cause on NCIX its ridiculous to pay 2500pts and often the shipping is more expensive. Like they don't have the "Ground Shipping Promo 10$" that DC have.

Exactly. So I'm always going to buy on NCIX and price-match, unless there's an item that only NewEgg have, or if they offer cheaper shipping for an item at the same price.

dc = ncix = tddirect = plus one more business oriented storefront.

At least newegg doesn't make their business complicated from what I can see - one company, one price, good service (from what I have heard).

Can any Yanks on the forums tell us about their service experience with NewEgg?

Once this comes to Canada I guess its bye bye to NCIX and DirectCanada.

Why? We can just price match from the egg and laugh in spite of them never shipping to Canada before.

If you read the thread few pages before, I think that was the puzzled question that many had, which most of us think that ncix may not accept PriceMatches done on the egg, that is they may allow or may now, time decides.
