Why does everyone seem to use newegg?

tshedmd · 07-25-2008, 01:08 AM

Hello all,
I'm a newby (obvious), Why do the majority of build ideas use newegg for pricing and set -ups? I have found that tiger direct is cheaper, has better info on the site, and better pics for components.
Thanks.

I find newegg easier to use, tiger seems a bit crowded and messy. Also newegg has really fast shipping along with over a million product reviews.

Newegg has great customer service, really fast shipping, and from my experience their prices are the best on almost everything. There are a few exceptions like cables and small accessories.

newegg is just easy for people, they can see the reviews. It is very easy to use and to find the products people are looking for.

i use it for a lot of builds i do because i can do a build in a few minis.

I have made about a dozen orders from NewEgg.com. They have excellent customer service, fast shipping, and great prices.

Once I wanted to return an optical drive that was out of warranty by about a month. They did a return merchandise authorization for me anyway. Great customer service!

Tiger does have some older things if you need them though.

I like newegg because of the reputation it has. I have never bought anything from there, but if i needed a part, i would definitely go there because of what i hear from others...
