said by eX_NihiLo  :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. |

Rush isn't worth it. I've gone regular and had the item in 1-3 days.
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. |

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 say yes it helps as they don't want to have to refund you the extra money for rush shipping. |

I also tried it both ways and never ever saw any difference in shipping time. Waste of money. Newegg.com is generally already quick. |

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. |

Rush processing never really made it quicker for me. I usually order Thursdays or Fridays (after the paycheck  ). 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. |

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. |

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. |

Super saver = super slow. I've ordered tons of stuff super saver and none were shipped faster than 5 working days after ordering. |

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. |
