omg... good news to us
next time i can buy latest stuffs from there

pricing aint going anywhere....just the rebate makes u worth shopping with them or maybe free shipping till doorstep is the reason for you to shop online

yes! Finally, i could save some money on pc hardwares and not going to the stores and bargain.

I dont know but the price diff between here and US is soo big,

take corsair Hydro H100 = here is selling RM479. OFFICIAL site & newegg say USD$120 = RM366 as of the exchange rate now. even I buy from newegg now Shipping that part over here wont cost me RM110.

I mean how would shipping things from China to here more exp than to USA? Thats a full 30% more exp. We got tax 30% on these thing?

then nid godbless

Wow, this is crazy!!

I was in the dispute corner and noticed how some of the "big" sellers over here are quite rude to their customers. Posted a few comments as well and told the customer to not bow down to them. I told them of the difference between our Malaysian sellers and those who are in the west. The only difference is , the westerners are always polite to their customers. Being rude to 1 is a huge risk of losing their business entirely.

Now that newegg is in Malaysia, lets see who is going to step up their game. A really good news indeed!

Added on February 17, 2012, 5:10 pmIt doesn't have to be a competition in prices only per say. Read my post above . Everyone that i know in the USA who are enthusiasts gets their stuff directly from newegg. Why? Because of the customer service which is next to none.

Maybe the price is the same, but if the malaysian version of Newegg is anywhere near as good as the one in US, i am sure pricing wouldn't be so high on our list of demands. Customer service is there! The ability to receive support is there. As of this moment, we have been dealing with individual business owners, small store traders. They may close their doors anytime they want and they could also choose to ignore you with your request for support / RMA.

With a major corporation, such situation would definitely improve.

I for one, welcomes newegg wholeheartedly to our land, Malaysia.

Added on February 17, 2012, 5:35 pmWhy not? They have existing businesses in the USA, Canada and China. Those markets are billion dollar markets. Factories would be dumb to not source directly to newegg. At the end of the day, everyone wants profit. True distributors may have the power, but what if newegg buys most of their hardware in China and stores them in their warehouse in China, and then ships them to their businesses at Canada, USA and Malaysia? The factory is now getting a large order of purchase and do you think they're going to say no?

I cant wait for Newegg

lower the price damnit bring it on!

Still skeptical...

When are they going to open door?

competition and options are 2 totally different things.

more option isn't always good, that's why I said below.

if the new option doesn't even come close to what's available now then the option is as good as none.

In case you guys didn't get it - my point so far is that many of you are praising Newegg too soon, the egg is new and not yet hatched.

IMO you guys are better off being neutral and see what they actually offer before praising them, rather than having high hopes and later if disappointed, probably come here complain sky complain ground.

1. read my post - I said catalog, price, shipping conditions and warranty policies. not price alone, basically whole package.

2. Newegg USA may be good but that's not for anyone of us to assume Newegg Malaysia will be good.

erm......... i donno how small is your world but there are many that are NOT SMALL traders and even traders, many of them actually do provide good support.

you can even RMA directly with distributor.

IMO you're just painting the whole IT / Tech component industry until it looks so bad when it's not.



of course, you're probably one of those that are fed up with lack of options.

guess what, I've been building rigs for more than 15 years. used to the lack of options, have explored Newegg and others since the 90s.

even so, I'd wait for the egg to hatch rather than putting so much hopes on it.

Guess I am the only one here think nothing change, other than having extra option that the distro doesnt wanna bring in due to low demand. Such as SFX PSU, Certain mobo models, coolers, some super factory OCed GPU etc.

I am still in dont know will newegg charging the same price for example some item like Corsair Hydro H100. There is a good RM110 diff there, but on the other hand, more common things like 2600K are selling the same price here vs the US price. So people who think they can get much cheaper price may need to think again because not all item here are exp.

I'm not saying it will be good, but I want to see more online retailers here to give existing ones a run for their money. There is a possibility that newegg can bring more options and to me that is good. Its not a foregone conclusion, but the possibility is there.

A good service is not competition itself, its the result of a competition. We don't know the results, but we do know that newegg presence will bring competition.

Hell if their presence make those bigger sellers here think twice about their choice of words, I'm all for it. As I've mentioned earlier, and another user posted above too, some sellers here are very rude especially in the dispute section. Maybe they wouldn't be that egoistic if there's a competitor to keep them in check.

Right now, there is no any such online retailer in Malaysia (as in a big company that focuses on online retail) This is the problem.

Two things:

1. Has this be verified as the real thing? The official new egg or 3rd party or agent? In addition, anyone can create a URL either for scam or prank. 29th February is coming, it is not as bad as 1st April, but 29th Feb is only once in 4 year kind of thing.

2. It is very possible to sell things cheap even to the tune of same pricing as in US (imagine that the shipping from TW or CH to Malaysia is cheaper than to US, for example). No Malaysia company is doing it, perhaps because it means lesser margin (lambat kaya!) or perhaps the logistic and warehousing requirement that surely only few big companies can do!

Cheers!

erm, waffor you need Newegg to check them small sellers? those small fellas in the dispute section already have plenty of other "good service" competitors to keep them in check already.

There's news on newegg.com.my page. Click on the eggs, the pop up is scrollable.

as for the price, the price of goods in Newegg China is quite high.

My thoughts is as this article http://www.lowyat.net/v2/index.php?option=...d=6253&Itemid=2

Going by Newegg China - the price isn't cheap and there are other places cheaper. So we'll just have to wait and see.

Until the site is launched and all details laid out, there's only hope. How high anyone want to hope is up to them.

the only way for them to success is to hit the USA pricing style, otherwise I cannot see how there gonna convince local to buy online. After all it is the money that talks, if u they are a lot of cheaper than the retailers, I dont see why even most traditional consumer will neglect to buy online.

But then it is not like local distro gonna allow this to happen, if newegg sell a lot cheaper distro makan apa?

Sure import from NewEgg China.
