Finally ordered my first PC and im wondering is their 3day shipping really 3days that seems extremely fast, its usually 1-2 weeks when i buy things online and neweggs only asked for $11 for all the parts of a PC to be shipped in 3 days that seems too good to be true to me.

Never used newegg but generally if they say x amount of days shipping it means x amount of business days of shipping.

I have free two day shipping on Amazon and out of 50 items none have been past two business days. That is Amazon though, but you get my point.

newegg shipping is great, never failed me. You have to remember that it is business days though, so order friday and get stuff on monday, order thurday and get stuff on tuesday.

UPS normally does 3 businesss days.You'll probably get your shipment by Fri.

It's USPS that takes a standard 5 business days, so if you ordered on any day besides a Monday you have to wait the following week.

For me, Newegg ships parts from NJ, since I live in NYC, I typically get my stuff in just over a day :D

Shipping is counted by business days; business days are Monday thru Friday; the weekends don't count. If you want to ship something NDA (next day air) and your order on Friday, you're not going to see that item until Monday (unless you specify you want a Saturday Delivery - which is an extra chunk of change). You setup 3 day select for shipping and it goes out Friday, you won't see it until the following Wednesday, not Monday. Same if you ship out on Thursday for 3 day, you won't see your item until the following Tuesday. 3 Day Select for shipping works best on a Monday or Tuesday, that way you are guaranteed to have your item to you before the weekend.

Are you kiddin? Newegg charges a lot for shipping, and it's slow. They do not offer USPS, or ontrac. Amazon has spoiled me with free 2 day shipping, well I am a prime member, free for a year since I am a student, and 80$ after that a year. It's well worth it to me. I avoid buying form newegg, slow and tax.

I've ordered stuff on Saturday and got it by Monday But yeah 3 day shipping is fast because it's by air, not ground. Newegg has low prices on shipping because they make plenty of profit on the tech, and they have a deal with UPS.

Newegg is great. Shipping prices are usually very good or free and I usually get my stuff within a day or two. Only once did I have something take longer then 3 days but that was the shippers fault.
