| Re: Newegg's Rush Processing I've never found it to help.
If you order before noon their time, chances are pretty good it will ship same day whether you choose it or not. If I order something after 12 and before 2, I'll choose it if I'm in a hurry but I've found I have about the same chance of it being shipped that day regardless of whether I choose it or not. I usually place 3-4 orders a week. | |

Here is what e-mail say's -------------------------------------------------------------- IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, Newegg.com's MAXIMUM LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THIS RUSH ORDER FEE ONLY. WHILE NEWEGG.COM CANNOT GUARANTEE SAME DAY SHIPMENT FOR ALL ORDERS, NEWEGG.COM WILL PUT FORTH OUR BEST EFFORT TO SHIP THIS ORDER ON 2/18/2008, OR YOUR RUSH ORDER PROCESSING FEE WILL BE REFUNDED. -------------------------------------------------------------- | |

| Re: Newegg's Rush Processing It being ordered this early, I say you have a 95% chance of it shipping Monday WITHOUT paying the additional fee.
Also, if it is something fairly standard, chances are it will ship out of Memphis and you may get it Tuesday. Most of my stuff ships from Memphis these days and I get it next day. | |

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. | |

| I've found NewEgg Itself to be VERY Reliable with getting your order Shipped out Pronto... 
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...

1 edit | All those big stores like Bestbuy,Office Depot etc.. will charge you arm and leg lets say you need USB cable for your printer it's $20 (without tax) in store. Newegg's price $10.00 with shipping.
I know someone who does not like to order only and buy's his stuff from Office Depot he got a computer for $1500 when you can get one online for $900  | |

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.  -- And so castles made of sand, slip into the sea, eventually.

| AnandTech did a inside look on Newegg a while back that was pretty interesting: »www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2694&p=1
They mention the rush processing in there and how it works. Real cool read, I love Newegg! | |

| there was a video floating around about what an order goes through at NewEgg. All the items of an order are loaded into blue tubs on big long conveyer belts. If you opt for rush processing, your bin is red and they fill red orders before the blue ones. -- I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person! | |

| *shrugs* My newegg orders have always been processed lickety-quick. Hell, I order their 3-day saver, and more often than not, the product is at my door in only one or two. 
So rush processing...I'd have to give it a pass. They're already quick enough, you don't need to throw them the extra dough to be even quicker.  | |

| 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. | |

| Re: Newegg's Rush Processing 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. | |

| 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. -- The Revolutionary War was fought over a 14% tax, what % are you paying now? | |

1 edit | Re: Newegg's Rush Processing said by Dogfather :said by grobinette :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. | |

| i just ordered 1600 bucks of pc parts from Amazon. some of those items qualified for the "super saver free shipping". what a fucking joke. the order was made 10 days ago, and i have everything but my mobo, psu, vid card and dvd drive. guess what items where the super saver items?
i swear i will never use that option again. i dont care how much it shows as saving me. | |

 |   Dogfather Premium join:2007-12-26 Laguna Hills, CA | Re: Newegg's Rush Processing Super saver = super slow. I've ordered tons of stuff super saver and none were shipped faster than 5 working days after ordering. | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |
