my item was received, working well now rclxms.gif

though i waited 3 weeks for it, and the packaging wasnt packaged securely to my satisfaction. just a thin wrapping paper. hopefully theyll package it better next time, if not might have some subjected to physical stress

You just filled up the enquiries, copy and paste the website link of the Newegg product you want into the textbox only, right?    hmm.gif
*
yep

just fill in blanks and wait for their response

frankly, their response aint that quick. i complained about the lack of confirmation of payment but it took them nearly one week to reply to me doh.gif

I wonder when Newegg MY starts setting up their warehouse and their headquarters here so that they can help reduce the cost of transportation (RM35-80 for heavy stuff) and shipment delay (2-3 weeks). Otherwise, newegg malaysia is seens as a middleman instead of being official - just an alternative method to purchase items which are  not available in MY. Currently they could not compete with the local shops here with their current method of dealing (long wait + high shipment cost)
*
i doubt theyll have a warehouse here

Newegg USA doesnt have a warehouse as well. they rely on distributors for the items. from what i know, (these are pure speculations) Newegg USA operates like this

1) receives order for item
2) head to their local distributor, order item for customer
3) item received by Newegg USA, which later they send to the customer using UPS or any courier. (or the distributor sends it direct to the customer)
4) customer receives item within several days

Newegg have always been just a middleman imo hmm.gif

most likely no. Even being middleman now also not much people using their service, I went to their office to collect my stuff. Very small room & few people in charge, by looking at the number of items around there I can tell there isnt a lot of people ordering through them.

Its possible also that on that particular day shipment was little & other days might be more...not sure
*
they go by batches as i recall from reading in this thread. i suppose the lack of confidence is due to people still not used to online orders

ah well, as for me. i think a lot of time before ordering through newegg just because of warranty term. As we need to bear the postage fee after 30 days of purchased which mean it going to cost you a lot imo :/

always wanted to try ordering through them but the warranty term is bugging me too much.
*
same here, i had to think and rethink carefully to confirm my purchases. in the end, i deduced that the risks of DOA is lesser than the satisfaction of procuring an EVGA card (which is not available in Msia)

There are many reasons why EVGA has failed many times in Malaysia. It is something that end user will never understand. Things are not as clear cut as "ok evga is an awesome brand in USA so it should be as awesome in Malaysia and every reseller would be overjoyed to be able to sell it".

Most distributors and resellers also won't care that end users are buying these cards from Newegg.my.
*
yep, theres a reason why they said EVGA is #1 in USA not worldwide nod.gif

but i bought it for mostly aesthetic and reliability reasons smile.gif
have yet to be disappointed too

I just calculated Asus 760 almost 1k + Shipping  sweat.gif
Might as well get Zotac 760 AMP

heh ASUS as usual, my rule of buying from Newegg is simple really

"if you cant find it in Msia but available in Newegg, get it"

those easier to find like ASUS, Giga, MSI ill usually go local, easier to deal warranty too. but if lets say Powercolor, HIS or EVGA... whistling.gif

no brainer, buy it if you think its worth it
