Newegg's item browse/search is second to none, so I always start there. But once I find what I want on Newegg, I'm more likely to order on Amazon, because they undercut on pricing more often than not, and I have Amazon Prime for free 2 day shipping. I bet in shipping alone Prime has paid for itself.

Then there was the shopping cart glitch that added an additional ten dollars to a Fractal Design case due to an expired promo code. And on Monday they jacked a Seasonic PSU five bucks in the space of a few hours. They lost two sales and a good deal of my regard.
Sadly, they've been trending downwards for me for sometime. I don't have a real alternative other than Amazon. That said, their service is still really, really good when I've needed it. That should count for something.

I have to pay tax if I shop from Amazon so I have to stick with newegg. I am now regretting missing the Samsung 840 250GB for $150 one. :$

Yeah, upon reviewing my Newegg orders from the past year or so, I've hit several fairly good promo codes and three decent refurbs. The hat remains in the rotation. And I should know better than to expect much from the holiday frenzy.

I imagine that this will be the norm much sooner than later.
