    You have to be way more careful with them now that's for sure. I personally haven't had too many issues and the few times I've had to return something they went out of their way to accommodate me (even overnighting a part to me before I could send the broken one back) so I've stayed shopping with them. Not saying I won't change the first time they try and screw me over.

    So far all of mine have approved. (I know I am 46 mins too late). TIme and money wise they wouldn't be too great (though I have got myself up to $7/hr).

    They had an issue earlier this year where people's credit card data was leaked through a simple js exploit or something like that.

    He's definitely being lazy. Learning how to swap your own PC parts is a pretty handy skill vs paying like $200+ for someone to install a graphics card or whatever.

    Yeah...it was a major blunder on their part and feel like they should have taken way more care. I wasn't affected but I could completely understand why people wouldn't shop with them anymore.

    Yeah, it's not going to stop me using newegg if newegg is cheaper than amazon for PC parts, just a bit more wary of throwing money at them.

    My daughter's fiance quit working for them for this reason. He said that he would get to work and things he had fixed would be screwed up and he couldn't give some of them the simplest tasks to get done. He does tech for car dealerships now and travels around, so I think he ended up way better off for it.

    Something like that happening is precisely why I stopped storing my credit/debit cards on sites like that sometime last year.

    It's 4 screws per and a plug. There is no excuse to take this to anyone but himself. Good luck!
