Newegg high level rudeness!

The worst about Newegg is their customer service, these people are terrible and extremely rude. I will not use Newegg is the future only because of their service, I hate being treated like garbage. I was their customer but received nothing but rudeness and disrespect. They refused to help with my issued and one of their nasty employees even said that I was interrupting their work with my calls. I hope they'll lose all of their customers.
How dare they talk like that? Where do they find these terrible people and why are they hiring them?
Supports are company representatives and Newegg rep clearly showed that they don't need my business.
Avoid this site, and don't even try buying from them!

Newegg msi laptop

I purchased a computer from Newegg in December 2016. I also purchased an extended/accidental warranty from them for $175.

The computer stopped working in March, 2017. I contacted Newegg and the service rep, Martina L, said:

“The Newegg return period for this item is 30 days from the original invoice date. I apologize, this item is passed the return period. You can take advantage of your end user warranty by contacting the manufacturer for a replacement. Their phone number is [protected]. If they refuse to help you, please contact us back with reference number or case number from manufacturer.
 
I apologize; we cannot accept this return. If we did it would be a complete loss to our company. We recommend taking advantage of your end user warranty with the product manufacturer. I am certain they will take good care of you and if you do run into any trouble, just let us know. This is also for your reference: http://us.msi.com/service/SupportIndex/ & http://us.msi.com/“

I contacted MSI. They tried to diagnose the problem over the phone but they were not able to do this. They said I needed to ship the item back to them and gave me RMA NRW17011681. They also advised me that I would be responsible for any damages incurred during shipping.

I took the item to the UPS store and shipped it back to MSI. It cost me $120 because of the insurance. I opted for the insurance because I would be responsible for any damages during shipping.

MSI received the laptop, inspected it, and Grace Liao said that it would cost $320 to fix the problem. They said the problem was:

“The LCD has internal cracks that caused it to leak inside. This is not functional failures. These type of damages is when excess pressure was applied on screen itself. That is what we mean by it was induced damages.”

There would have been no way for me to know whether these damages would have been a manufacturers defect or accidental damage.

I called Newegg (like Martina said in the first email) and spoke to Ramon L DeLuna. I spoke with him for about 30 minutes. He said they would take care of the issue and he would contact me again later that week.

I was never contacted, so I called Newegg back the following weekend.

This time, they said there was nothing they could do to remedy the issue. But they did offer to refund me the shipping cost to MSI which was $120. They said that this is more than any other retailer would have done. I disagreed and said other retailers I’ve purchased from (Dell, Apple, BestBuy, Amazon, etc) would have replaced the item by now.

I contacted the extended warranty company online. According to the FAQ online, there's supposed to be a button next to my warranty that lets me start a claim. There is no such button. I had to call them on the phone. They said they would ship a box to me and that I had to ship the computer back to them.

I've told MSI that I need them to ship the computer back to me. I’m now waiting on MSI to get back to me with the next steps.

This has been over a month and my son does not have his computer.

I also filled out an online review on Newegg.com. They would not post it on their website because the review had to do with Newegg customer service. They said they only post reviews about the items they sell. I feel this is very deceptive.

Here are the specific reference numbers for my issue:

Sales Order Number: [protected]
Item Number: N82E16834154292
MSI Reference Number: NRW17011681 CID K1607N0031036
RMA: NRW17011681

Newegg rma fraud

Purchased a Samsung M.2 SSD from Newegg.com. No matter what I did, the performance of the drive was terrible. So I requested an RMA and was approved.

I packaged the drive back in the original retail packaging and returned to Newegg with their shipping label.

A week later I am contacted and told that they are sorry but that I returned an empty box so they cannot refund me.

Now I have no drive and am out $330.

They tell me that "there is no evidence of tampering or theft" however the box was opened, so I am not sure what sort of evidence there would be...

Now, looking around online, I see a lot of people with this complaint. It seems that Newegg is engaging in fraud.

Newegg monitor return

I purchased a monitor and paid Newegg.com directly (no third party). The monitor was defective. I received authorization from Newegg to return it for a full refund, no restocking fee. They sent me a FedEx label (their address for returns). I returned the monitor within 30 days of purchase.
Newegg does not dispute that the monitor is defective.
They refused to refund my $ because they argue (suddenly) that the real seller is Laptops4less and Newegg is just a platform. And the reason for the rejected return? The box was missing a UPC label. How in the world is the customer responsible for what FedEx does to boxes? Newegg insisted I use the original box for the return and I did so.
And the cheery on the top of this fraud is that Newegg has attempted to return the defective monitor to me to dispose of. You have to pay to recycle stuff like this. Are they serious?

Newegg defective video card

I was repairing my computer and bought some components from Newegg website. Everything arrived in a timely manner and I had no problems with delivery.
When I finished the repair job my computer wasn't working. I could not understand what was going on because I thought I did everything right. Anyways, since I could not figure out myself I called an IT specialist who arrived to my place to help me with my computer. He said that video card was broken and that's why it did not work. I contacted Newegg the same day and demanded a full refund and told them that I wanted to return everything but they did not reply. These people are terrible and they are not to be trusted, they sold me a defective product!

Newegg parts hold on lenovo thinkpad

Hi, I bought my Lenovo think pad off of Newegg.com back in August, and it came with a 1 year warranty. 4 weeks ago the screen had temporary stopped working. So I ran a diagnostics test on it failed. I sent it in to be fixed. It has been 3 weeks now since then and has still been waiting on a parts hold. I am a college student, and I have been barely making ends meat without a computer. I was initially told it would take 5-10 business days. But it has already been past that, and I am predicting it to be even longer. Is there anything that could be done for me? I truly can not wait without a computer much longer, and I do not want to have to spend money to rent one out.

Newegg Extremely late and I feel cheated

I ordered a mouse pad from this company through Newegg.com on 11/28/16 and received it 1/20/17. Newegg's customer service was great, but I bought the item from Onlytek so they were the only ones to talk to about a refund or return. Their customer service was awful!

I bought the item for an Xmas present, but could not find the tracking information as USPS said my tracking number was invalid. When I contacted them around 12/23, I asked for a refund because it seemed the item was lost because it was late and I couldn't track it. Somehow, they were able to make my tracking number work and it said the package was processed through a facility in China on 12/14. They asked me to please wait a little longer because it could have been delayed by the weather. When I bought the item, the estimate said it should have come a week before Xmas, but I was nice and said that I would wait a little longer.

I was patient, and on 1/15 there had been no change in the tracking info and I finally contacted them again requesting a refund. I decided to order a similar item off Amazon and it would take a week or so, but at least I knew it was coming. Two days later, they respond with updated tracking info saying the package was finally State-side and could not be called back. They refused to refund me because the item would deliver. I said ok, but please at least refund these shipping fees as the wait has been beyond ridiculous. No response. I was so upset because they asked me to wait the first time I asked for a refund, when it was still in China according to the tracking information. I just felt like I had been too nice and should have demanded my money back then. They probably would have refused anyway.

Anyway, I get the item and the really cool image that I had bought the mouse pad for had been cut off a lot on the sides! Yes I get you have to fit it to the shape but it would not have been hard to do it better, it was just a careless job. I contacted Newegg about a return and complained about Onlytek's service, and they were very sympathetic and tried their best to fix it, but ultimately the return policy was up to Onlytek, who wanted to charge me a 15% restocking fee and return shipping! OMG I am so angry about it. Anyway, I am just done with this mouse pad and after this complaint I'm just gonna let it go and try to find a home for this thing I don't want (because I already ordered a different one off Amazon to give my sis). I just had to vent and I really hate this freaking company and want them to go bankrupt.

In conclusion, didn't get the item until 2 months after ordering, a month and half after the advertised delivery date. Their customer service were butts about cancelling the item and refunding me, and even worse about returns. They can burn in hell.

Newegg false claims serial numbers are missing to avoid refunds

Newegg.com is lying saying that serial numbers are removed from products in order to avoid refunding money on defective products.

I recently purchased a video card that was doa. I installed it soon realized it was dead. The same day I packed it back up and returned it to newegg.com
They drug their feet, and finally after much pushing they said they would not refund me anything because I had removed serial numbers.
This was a lie. I removed nothing. Everything was intact exactly the way they sent it to me.

I started searching google for "newegg scam" and found hundreds of other customers they did this very same thing to!
Warning! I would not buy anything at newegg unless you never intend on returning it even if it's broken on arrival.

I have been a customer of newegg.com for over 13 years and I was lied to, accused of something I did not do, and treated like garbage.

Be warned! Avoid newegg! You will not get your money back if you return a defective product. And if you do, it will take months of head aches, phone calls, emails, and long wait times.

Someone needs to file a class action lawsuit against newegg.com for their shady, and dishonest business practices.

I'm currently working on a documentary supported by crowd funding, exposing newegg from the inside and their dishonest business. Everyone I can find who have been denied a refund under false accusations from newegg is being interviewed.
This will get out! They will pay for dishonesty.

Newegg samsung s health activity tracker promotion

On 2/26/2016, I submitted all of the rebate information (all required documents, rebate form, UPC, etc. ) to Newegg for a $25 rebate for the Samsung Activity Tracker. By the way, I am 60 years old, and have submitted a lot of rebates. I know, and always do, make a copy of everything I send.

I received a response back on 3/21/2016 indicating my rebate submission was received and being processed. I never heard anything from Newegg.com after this.

I contacted Newegg around 5/2/2016 about the status of my rebate, and was informed that they did not have the UPC code. I told them that was impossible, I knew it was included (stapled on the paperwork). I had to scan my copy of the code and send it to them, and they confirmed it was received.

I called again today, 5/31/2016 to determine why I still don't have my $25 rebate, and now am told to wait till 7/4/2016, and call if I don't receive it by then.

This is absolutely the worst customer service and rebate program. I purchased this item in February, and have to wait till July for my rebate?

Newegg the worst place to shop at.

I have purchased a MacBook from www.newegg.com and received the wrong model. Immediately contacted customer service and told them that I want to send the wrong one back and get an exchange. I told them that I never opened the box and they agreed to give me a replacement. So I sent it back and later was contacted by someone from Newegg and was told that the box was opened so they could not give me an exchange. What a scam! Then they sent it back to me and refused to refund the price difference. Terrible service!

Newegg seems like a scam

Ordered a gadget from Newegg and the one I received was defective so I decided to return it and they said that I have to send the defective item back and promised me a refund. I did as they said and sent it back and they keep telling me that they did not receive anything yet. That is strange because I was already contacted by the shipping company and they said that package was successfully delivered and received. Newegg are quite nice, they always reply to my messages, but it seems like they are trying to scam me and just pretend to be nice.

Newegg refurbished macbook pro

Bought refurbished pro in march 2015. First one did not work and was sent back. Second one worked, unreliably, for three months then completly crashed.in october 2015, I contacted newegg and asked for a refund or an credit over the phone, they told me no. They told me I would now have to deal with vt services, their warranty company. From october 2015 until march 2016 I have sent the computer to vt services, three times, never getting a computer that worked. These computers, are old, very dirty internally with lots of dust bunnies inside, and old electrical tape on fraying wires inside. They also do no support any apple os, that apple currently supports. So you have no protection, no safari or anything else apple. Vt will not do anymore for me. They told me to contact newegg, telling them the macbook, they sold me is too old to support any apple os, that is current. I called newegg today and again im told no refund or credit.

Newegg rebate never received

I purchased a monitor from Newegg and submitted the rebate in October 2015. The tracking site listed a date that came and went (Feb 7th) without a rebate arriving. After contacting Newegg I was told that they would resubmit my rebate request, and IF it was accepted they would mail me another one in 6 weeks. When asked if the process could be sped up since 6 more weeks seemed excessive, I was told that it was automated and no one could help me beyond submitting the request again. I have very little confidence that in 6 weeks I will have my rebate since the process seems to be FRAUDULENT. This isn't the first time being burned by a newegg rebate, but it will be the last.

Newegg mail in rebate & customer service

I bought product with mail in rebate. After mailing all required documents there is no sign of rebate coming through. When I enquire customer service they only redirect to same page in their website from where I registered and took document printout to mail them. In spite of repeated contact their response is pathetic and im running out of time to get the rebate money. I was very reluctant to buy in this site and my concerns proved correct.

Newegg ordered computer monitor, received computer case

Ordered a computer monitor for 110 and some change from newegg.com received a computer case instead.

They will not ship me my monitor without first providing my credit card information again *just in case another mistake happens* so they can charge my account for their ungodly screw up.

How you mistake a 22" lg monitor box with a brown diy pc box is beyond me.

Customer service gabriel m. And his subordinates kept giving me run around, wanting me to place my credit card information on file, so I would be charged the cost of the computer case if they did not get it back, and they would not give me the monitor I ordered back.

Ashley m. = the lady who is supposed to contact me regarding this issue needs to fix this. I do not think they know they laws regarding unsolicited merchandise and fraud.

Furthermore, they state that it is their policy for shipping mistakes for you to provide a credit card number for expedited shipping, or wait until they receive the merchandise you did not order back.

They try to strong arm you into playing into this trick, do not bend!

I look forward to talking with ashley m., the corporate office, and visa fraud dispute if they can't fix it.

Newegg worst online shopping experience!

I ordered something from Newegg website three weeks ago. The seller was actually a private one but I had no idea about that. Well, I never received my order so I tried to contact the seller by phone, but the phone number was invalid. Then I sent him several messages, but never got a reply. I had no other choice so I asked Newegg customer support for help. They were absolutely useless and did not know what to do but sending the seller emails. What kind of customer service is that? They cannot even refund me, because they have to contact the seller first. The worst online shopping experience I've ever had.

Newegg dangerous scam!

Never order anything from these thieves. I purchased some goods and paid huge amount of money! I ordered three items for over $2000 and when my order finally arrived two items were damaged. I don't know who's fault that was, I actually don't care, but I paid big money! I contacted Newegg customer care and demanded my money back, but they would not refund me. They said that there will be no returns, because they couldn't resell it anyway! Why should I care? It is not my problem! I was their customer and they took my money, so I expected to get what I paid for! Never order from Newegg. This company is absolutely unethical.

Jun 03, 2016 8:33 am EDT

i ordered a cooler master haf case and it was missing a thumbscrew

contacted newegg and they said they'd send it out

2 weeks later still having received it so emailed them again

this time got no response

left a bad review on the cooler master item page but newegg filtered it out and won't allow me to post what happened

in short, newegg and cooler master scammed me

they knew nobody would pay $15 to ship the case back to get a $1 thumbscrew

by doing this they save $1 per case sold

20, 000 cases sold = $20, 000 newegg/cooler master saved

total scam and a rip off

Newegg hp refurb pavilion pc desktop

pc was not factory refurbished, description was not clear that pc was not factory refurb. but third unknown party, return of item was 45 restocking fee, 40 return label ship, $85 a third of pc price, making return unreasonable, beware of high shipping and restocking fees, return policy is consumer unfriendly and expensive! Buyer beware of returns by newegg! Also no reply after i sent email explaining my situation, do not buy from this company if you need to return something you purchased. No reply from customer service, feb. 10 and waiting, company probably expects customers to give up and not return for refund.
