The only reason for rush processing is for periods when Newegg has a much higher than usual volume of orders such as the holidays. Newegg would be stupid not to have to staff to handle day-to-day orders on their usual timely basis.

For the reason because they don't want to have to refund that rush fee.

BTW, Becareful ordering Harddrives from Newegg. I am now on 4th failed drive (different make and model) that failed within 30 days of purchase. The just wrap the drives in bubblewrap and throw in a box. Maybe paying more to ship drives air will get handled better...

Newegg- great prices, fast shipping, bad drive packing.

kfsutops : I am sure it works for some. For me, it has never worked. For some reason anytime I have ordered from Newegg with the rush option, it still takes two days for the stupid thing to leave the warehouse.

I will admit, it's been about a year since I ordered from them for this very reason. So things may have changed.

I think you are going to wait anyway since both UPS and FedEx observe President's day as a holiday.

No they don't, at least in terms of suspending delivery. Only the US Postal Service is closed and even then certain high level deliveries are still made (USPS even has Christmas Day deliveries). UPS and Fedex both have normal deliveries on Pres day.

Fedex Ground Residential I don't believe delivers on Monday's anyway, they include Saturday as part of their normal delivery week (Tues-Sat, off Sun and Mon).

Interesting to know. I've gotten two things on a Saturday from Fedex and was surprised since I didn't pay extra for the Saturday service.

I've used Newegg rush processing once but they seem to be pretty quick about processing orders anyhow so I don't use it. If I know I am going to order something I usually try to order before noon my time and I know for sure it will be sent that day. I ordered stuff on Friday at 2:30PM EST and it was shipped that day.

The UPS standard 3-day seems to be pretty quick. I think it may have something to do with the fact it goes through their hub in Louisville, Ky. So from CA by plane to Louisville and then a truck up I-71 to me takes usually only two days. TN and NJ orders usually get here in two days too.

The UPS price is also a lot cheaper for whatever reason. The last order I bought was about 11 lbs and it only cost $7.63, but Fedex shipping was $22. I don't think I've used Fedex since Newegg began to offer UPS.

Dream Killer : Rush processing never really made it quicker for me. I usually order Thursdays or Fridays (after the paycheck :D). I either get it Tuesday the next week if shipped from NJ/TN or Thursday if it's from CA. The occasional times I do order Monday/Tues, I always get it before the weekend.

XPAMD : I've generally used RP when I've made a high priced order.

There have been two times in which either UPS dropped the ball or had issued.

The first time it happened a shipment was routed to PA for whatever reason which resulted in a delvery delay, and the 2nd time I had selected Next Day the UPS jet had a mechanical failure which delayed delivery by 1 day.

Both times Newegg refunded my money without question.

Re: Newegg's Rush Processing

simmery : I've never had a problem with NewEgg, but in my case the rush fee has never made any perceptible difference in how the order is prioritized. I've tried various order-timing strategies (place the order at 5:00 A.M. on a Monday, etc.), and it's hit-and-miss whether the California warehouse has it ready for UPS the same day. I keep adding the rush fee because it's insignificant and because my heart is full of hope. I'm sure they love customers like me.

kadar : I did have a problem with rush order once.
I ordered on a Sat. morning. 8am EST. UPS invoice was 3pm Sun. UPS picked up 11am Mon.

I negected to remember that I paid for Rush and asked about it 2 weeks after delivery. Was told I had to request the refund within 7 days.

I saved more than the Rush fee in the sale and free shipping of the 2 items so it wasn't a big loss.
I'm still happy with their service, do order from them, but won't do Rush any more. There really is no need for it.

u475700 : I requested rush processing for an order that I submitted in the afternoon and wanted to ship that day. As best that I could tell the only difference in processing was to pocket the extra fee. Although the order was processed and my credit card was charged, it didn't ship until the next day. I believe that Newegg releases orders destined for the northeast to the same distributor in Pennsylvania that fulfills orders for other vendors.

Packeteers : I would rush process only on your very first order from newegg, simply because most online retailers take extra time to make sure your credit card and shipping information isn't bogus. but once you've ordered with your login account a few times, I doubt rush processing will matter unless you order from them late in the work day.

Not for me it doesn't. While I live in TN, I have never gotten ANYTHING from the TN warehouse, it always comes from CA, yet I have to pay the darned 10 percent TN taxes! I don't shop from them now because of it, and because there are so many other great dealers too.

Will Newegg's Rush Processing speed up my order?

I have ordered from Newegg for years now, and I think I've done it once. I don't think it matters. I've ordered stuff as late as 2PM eastern, and it's been shipped out the same day.

Assuming I take the standard UPS shipping, if it's from PA, I get it the next day. If it's from TN, I get it in 2 days. California, 3 days.

If you really need something super quick, change the shipping method. I don't think the "rush processing" has any effect--they are quick little devils there at NE. ;)

Newegg's standard shipping is 3-day UPS. If they ship from a warehouse close to you, you can get it sooner. Once your order gets further into the process, you can view it and it will show the warehouse it will ship from.

catdaddy63 : I've placed many orders with Newegg over the last 6 years, as has been said, if you order early in the day the order will almost always ship the same day anyway. I did have an order that I needed pretty quickly a few months ago that I paid the fee, and used UPS second day delivery. It didn't ship that day, but, the 'egg shipped it overnight and it was received the day it should have been received. And, the RMA process is the simplest and most painless of any company out there. You can even buy a UPS prepaid label for your return from them at a fair price.

However, Once your Order is put in the hands of the Shipping Company (UPS, FED-EX, etc.), then it's really Beyond NewEgg's Control... I've had orders come in the *Next Day* (having ordered it in the Early AM on the day before), but I've also had orders that ended up in the "Black Hole" (AKA the UPS Hub in Chelmsford, MA.) for 4-5 Days or more... :p
