Can any1 explain this 2 me, i order a simple wifi adapter yesterday about 7:30 pm, its now over 24 hours since i bought the item on the site, why after 24 hours they cant seem 2 have gotten it and packaged it and sent it out, any1 know wt....is taking them so long?!!!

im just very annoyed right now 🙁
 


yea but i mean cmon i buy things from amazon and in hours they have the thing out and on the road, especially if i buy something for either 3 or 2 day shipping, with newegg its 3 day shipping + another week just to get the thing package, and yes amazon also has tons of orders why cant newegg move faster!!??
 


true but when u buy something and it says 2 - 3 day shipping i take that 2 mean it will be delivered to my house in 2 - 3 days, newegg its not, i bought hoping ill be able 2 use over this weekend, disappointingly looks that might not happen🙁
 
the thing is some staff AMAZON keep in UPS werhouses thats why u get staff faster it all depends.

 


*stuff, not staff. but yeah thats a good point i didnt know that.
 
If waiting 1-2 days before they ship the item is too much for you there is always the option to pay $3 (i think that's what it is at) for Rush Processing. They will make every effort to bill and ship the package by the next business day.
 


Slow down, cowboy. You only ordered something a whole 24 hours ago and you ordered it after business hours to boot. Shipping takes a few days. They have to process all of the orders in the order queue ahead of yours, then go retrieve your item from their massive warehouses, package it, and then get it picked up by their shipper. You won't usually see that it was picked up by the shipper until the shipper updates their tracking which is often delayed by a day or so. I've had more than a few things show up at my door before the tracking said it was shipped.

I remember back in the day when it took weeks to mail-order something from a dead-tree catalog. There was no commercial Internet before the mid-1990s. You had to look in Computer Shopper if your local computer store didn't have what you wanted and they usually didn't. You had to call or (usually) fill out an order form and snail-mail it into the company and then in a week or two your order would show up at your door IF the stuff wasn't backordered which things often were. Or more likely your order would show up at somebody else's door because they mis-delivered it (there wasn't civilian GPS or computer mapping programs) or if you were lucky you got a "you didn't sign for this so it's imprisoned at our facility in BFE and you have to retrieve it between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm" sticker on the door because computer parts were much more expensive back then.

So sit back, pour yourself three fingers of bourbon, and relax. Your part will get here before you know it.

There is actually one thing wrong with Newegg. They seem to have a lot of trouble with tripping the fraud detectors with Visa credit cards. My card has gotten locked and my order denied by Newegg on multiple occasions due to this. I've had to call Visa to unlock my card and it's a bit of a pain in the butt to do. Ironically the one time somebody did steal my credit card number it wasn't after a Newegg order as I hadn't ordered anything from them in a year or so. I'm guessing somebody at a restaurant skimmed the card.
