Did Newegg release any official press release regarding this?

where's the need to do that?

If NewEgg opens a branch here, they will certainly release an official PR.

no official news and you guys accept it wholesale ah? that's very wise.

that's a bold assumption.

until the site launches, no one can claim that it'll be cheaper, have more rare stuff and such.

from a job search, seriously? I'd wait to see an official statement from Newegg itself.

Even back in the 90s, I've for countless times thought of buying from the USA. Their price is sooooooooooo much cheaper but the killer is the shipping and warranty issues.

Anyway, one site that ships to MY is http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/

ok. at least we have some official correspondence and contents already.



yeah i clicked before. What I didn't realize was it's scrollable!

Thanks!

yes. Let's wait and see. I won't be jumping for joy until I see their catalog, shipping charges and warranty policies.

competition? oh that one has been long going on within LYN members what. same goes to Lelong and others..........

but guess what, we who buy online are often enthusiasts and are just a small portion of the entire market.

So before we say Newegg is a COMPETITION, let's see their catalog, price, shipping conditions and warranty policies first.

If come out same / similar to what we already have, then what competition we talking about?

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.

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.
