    Now, I know we all talk about Newegg for customer service. There is no doubt they are really good. Order your stuff and 9 times out of 10 you have it sitting on your front porch the next day.


    The best I've had though is from zappos.com. They sell all sorts of men's and women's apparel. Their big business is shoes though (if dy were here, she'd appreciate this). I've gotten shoes from them many times. They do FREE overnight shipping (they've changed that for whatever rare occasion it doesn't get to you the next day). Last night I decided I needed a couple of pair of boots. This was at 11pm. I got an email and they are on their way here to PA from Kentucky and they are already out for delivery!

    Woohoo:-D


    OH...and if you don't like them, they don't fit, whatever...they do free return shipping.

    Anyone else have any favorite website besides Newegg??

    You decided you need new shoes at 11pm on a weeknight. :confused Must be the woman in ya!! :p:-D

    Personally I am pretty fond of Tiger Direct myself. But like I've said several times...the warehouse is literally right down the road. But I do order online from them if it is a small enough item that it's not going to cost me more in shipping than the gas to driver there. It is actually about a thirty minute driver. The couple three times I did have to deal with customer service, they were very understanding and helpful. However...I hear people often saying to stay away from the mail in rebates!! But I do that anyway...no matter what I'm buying or where I'm shopping!! Been burned by the mail in rebates one time too many!!

    Ummmm...rog...when does one Not need a new pair of shoes?rolleyes

    Hey! I resemble that remark!

    I've ordered from them. Got a bad vid card. Wasn't their fault. Called nvidia and they gave me a number for a return and tigerdirect gave me my money back. It was all pretty smooth. Pain in the butt...but smooth.

    As far as rebates, I just have to roll my eyes. I swear they count on most of the people not actuall sending them in, or mistakenly throwing the check out when it comes looking like just another piece of junk mail.

    That and the procedure you have to go through to get it!! IMO they make so freaking inconvenient/burdensome that you will either say "screw it" or mess up something in the process and then they don't have to honor the rebate, and then they MAYBE send you a letter about 12 weeks later saying that you don't qualify for it.

    For those that are indeed anal enough to go through with some of those ridiculous rebate protocols...they should make a law that they have to tell you why you didn't qualify and give you a one time shot (within a reasonable time frame for both parties) to rectify it!! Odds are you already won't no longer have what it is you need to fix it, so they company is most likely going to come out ahead anyway.

    just my 2c :)

    Boots in the winter, sneakers in spring and fall, flip-flops during the summer. Dress shoes for weddings and funerals.
    Is that too many?:p

    Zappos is very good indeed.

    I hear ShoeBuy.com is equally as good.

    Worst manufacturer in my book is OCZ memory. I have been battling them for 5 weeks now.

    my favorite website (other than newegg) would have to be www.ecrater.com becuase its a free online store, and your items get listed on google shopping for free, plus alot of other good stuff (its also super easy and fast to add items to your store)
