Newegg has deteriorated in my experience and now not materially different from Amazon, with wrong items shipped and multiple dropshippers commingling inventory so provenance of stuff is questionable. Do not recommend.
I think the tipping point was newegg the store vs newegg the marketplace.
Newegg "the store" was pretty great, newegg "the marketplace" not so much. And unlike amazon at least newegg tells you who the seller is and keeps a big "only show results from the newegg store" filter present. but even despite that the store is not nearly as great as it once was.
I wonder if there is anything left of amazon "the store", perhaps if you buy a book? Or has amazon "the marketplace" consumed everything.
Totally agree. 20ish years ago Newegg was my one stop for computing purchases online. Now I just use it to gauge pricing as I find their search and filtering to still be the best.
Most of my online computing purchases now come from B&H in New York City. Super fast shipping and I’ve never had a bad order experience.
Newegg was purchased by a Chinese investment firm about 10 years ago. It's like Walmart.com reseller marketplace over there ever since. I definitely visit my local Microcenter when they have it in stock. They also have a "one time use" coupon for $10 3d printer filament.
