I live in California so I get taxed for ordering stuff from the egg. Are there any reasons not to order from Amazon? (And I mean from Amazon, not from someone selling stuff on Amazon.)
I think the prices on Newegg are cheaper than on Amazon. I think thats one of the big points about Newegg.
Not for the OP obviously, as he gets taxed. lol
I would say no. I would not hesitate to order
direct from Amazon. Just watch who you're
buying from, like you said.
That's exactly the point.The only problem I have ever had with Amazon was not receiving an order and it could have been because of the seller never shipping the item or the post office lost it. Either way I got reimbursed by Amazon so thats a nice plus.
Depends ont he price difference really. I've only bought books from Amazon, so I'm not personally sure. If it's in anyway possible to order from newegg cheaper or for the same price, I'd suggest it - shipping and service are the best there. How much is tax there?
But as far as reliability and returning defective products go is Amazon still ok?

The prices are great but my main reason for using them to begin with was the excellent customer service.
Not really on subject with the OP but I just had to throw that out there.
