Newegg.ca - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!

Just got this email from newegg, they now offer a TON of items with free shipping. I dont know if its just this month or permanent but theres lots of stuff in the free shipping store. 235 mobos, 142 hdds, 91 fans/heatsinks, and a ton of other stuff. Looks like theyre finally making the canadian egg a decent competitor and not just something to price match.
 
And it is a great marketing initiative since NCIX wont price match free shipping.... I guess they know what they are doing.
 
Just keep in mind - what they are loosing in shipping (from the USA no less) they have to make up elsewhere ;)

NCIX has something similar, but mostly express shipping at a deeply discounted cost.

Nice to see some competition in the marketplace, but it is not as if these "free shipping" deals and products were something revolutionary. Bargain hunters have been rather upset with NewEgg's shipping as of late - they had to do something to encourage sales.

The same reflection applies for NCIX discounted express shipping. They have to make that money somewhere else to. And believe me I know about discounted express shipping, I am in montreal and express is always 1 or 2 $ more than the cheapest ''regular'' mail option.
 
I have ordered several things from them since they went online...and had gotten several items with better deals then I coulda off some of the forums..I've been pretty happy with them so far..but then again I haven't had to deal with an rma yet

Dude, RMA'ing from them is the best.
Anything under $25 that you rma from them, they just refund you and tell you to keep it because its not worth the shipping, after doing that for me, they proceeded to offer me a free gift if i gave them my address. After they realized i was in canada they offered me a $5 credit off my next purchase. I <3 newegg its worth the extra money for the awesome service
 
Doesn't look like it's such a great deal with free shipping:

They still charge a crapload with handling (due to customs), and they also charge a customs fee for shipping the actualy product ($1 USD). However, at this price it is still around ~$40 cheaper than NCIX, but you can beat Newegg's price at Direct Canada (which offers free shipping as well).

Therefore, you still have to do the task of shopping around :doh: .
