Both are good online merchants. What I like about Newegg over Amazon is when the former offers free shipping, the only thing different from normal shipping is it's free and I got the merchandise just as quick or slow as regular shipping. In most cases, it's within three days that I would actually receive the goods I ordered. Whereas when Amazon offers free shipping, the order just sits there in the warehouse somewhere and wait another week before it actually got shipped. What's the deal? Case in point, I ordered something on Tuesday, that is June 15 and the expected shipping date is June 21. If the price differential is not significant I will definitely order from Newegg and I do usually. Now looking back I probably should have ordered from Newegg even I would end up paying close to ten dollars more. I simply don't like to wait --I thought I can live with waiting for a week and save ten bucks. I just hate waiting, with a passion.

As if Amazon read this post, the order actually got shipped via FedEx today. What a pleasant surprise.
Newegg has facilities nearby, so even ground shipping is just about as good as overnight air. I always go Newegg if possible.
