Newegg Now Owned by Chinese Company

Today, Newegg's e-mail deals include the MSI GTX 1080 DUKE, which according to the announcement here on TPU, was a card exclusively designed for the APAC market. Just found this interesting. Nice price at $560 after $20 MIR.

characterized by a large triple-fan cooling solution that's optimized for the tropical climate of its target market

Virtually everything I've ever purchased from Newegg has had a rebate. This is nothing new. What is new is how many items now have a shipping charge, no matter how much you buy.

Yeah i will not be buying from newegg for a long time after the crap i am going though right now.

Placed a order of a item from Newegg them self's and it's actually being shipped from China, had no warning of this what so ever until shipping label was made, would of been much better of going though Amazon or even ebay at least i could of picked were the item was being sent from so.

Screw newegg it's dead to me now.

Was the product made in China? Was it brand new and possibly not in Newegg's warehouse?

I've had plenty of laptops over the years ordered from the manufacturer's website ship straight from China.

Still should of had a warning, it should of gotten to me within 4-7 days as i was not going pay the 2-3$ for 3 days which MAY of come from the US then. Either way it's already a day late and it's still in frigging China.

Could of gotten it else were and had in my hands by now.

A few years back I used to buy everything from Newegg. Then we had to pay tax in our state and their competitive advantaged slipped away. And if that wasn't enough Amazon now beats the heck out of them with free and faster one day shipping. Add in the third party vendors they have added now and I generally don't even search there any more. Even retailer Best Buy now tends to have more attractive deals as Newegg seems to struggle to keep up. It was great while it lasted!

A month ago Newegg dropped the Premier accounts. I just paid shipping for some parts for the first time in years

Good bye, Newegg! Hello Amazon! You were once the GREATEST until you sold your soul.

Guess they couldn’t compete on the free shipping with Amazon Prime. I ended my Newegg premier earlier this year and haven’t gone back to them for anything.

As much as I hate Amazon’s organization of parts I will stick with them.

Say what you will. They still get the parts first
Plus Prime is so expensive

wait till amazon is a Monopol and then we all pay the price

I haven't bought from Newegg in a long, long time. I get free shipping on just about everything on Amazon without Prime as long as the total order is $25 or more. I just have to wait a few more days to get what I ordered.

But Amazon's search engine is a mess. I sometimes go to Newegg to search for choices and then copy/paste the item in Amazon to buy.

Back in the film days anyone deep into film photography would buy mail order from a NY company called SPIRATONE. It was started by Fred Spira in his parents apartment bathroom where he developed film. Spiratone had its very successful days in the 60's, 70's, and 80's until competition and a company buyout ended it. My basement darkroom was filled with purchases from Spiratone. Nothing stays the same. And today we have a similar evolving climate and the successes of yesterday may not work tomorrow. I sense Newegg under new ownership may continue changing to their detriment. My focus is narrow (being just my own personal experience) but where I always started with Newegg I find they no longer top the list. Cheap prices, free shipping, and no tax were the primary reasons for Newegg being my sole go to online seller.

And it's STILL safer than giving money to Jeff Bezos.
