Default (unknown status) NewEgg [maybe] coming to Canada, your thoughts?

Aug. 26 2005 Update

Newegg is planning for an October launch date for their crossborder shipping method to provide their service to the Canadian consumers.
Shipping fee will be all inclusive with brokage fee included when you go checkout on the website. UPS will be the courier and the final purchase prices will be very competitive. Shipping fee will be kept as low as possible so please just be patience and see what the rates will be like because this is a special deal NewEgg is working out with UPS.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello my fellow RFD members,

as I have mentioned this before a few months ago, NewEgg has some plans to come into Canada. This includes opening warehouses on the west coast and the east coast.

Now plans are one more step to coming a reality and I have been asked by the corporate planning Assit. Manager to bring this news to you all informally.

I am also looking for your feedbacks.

This would definately create some jobs here in Canada and I am sure that will be welcomed by many of you. However, NewEgg would always like to treat their customers with the upmost respect and provide the best service possible so if you have any suggestions, feel free to reply here and they will definately be considered.

Thank you very much.

David

ps. the reason NewEgg hasnt started in Canada yet is because they want to plan things out very thoroughly so no customers will be dissapointed by a not so well thought out plan

------------------------------------------------------------------
previous thread content:

How would you feel if Newegg opens a warehouse in canada and opens business to Canadians?

if you dont know what newegg is, it is like tigerdirect except better service and better prices. www.newegg.com

Would you buy from Newegg?

also feel free to post what you would like to see from online retailers?

Are you affiliated to newegg in any way? I voted yes. Why should staples get all the price matched sales. Newegg should come with a nice pricematch policy.

Most definitely....I have a lot of friends down in the states and they are all very happy that they have newegg. The more money and better service I can get....the better.

Well, so far we have had one *competition fearing* person ... (the 1 vote that says no)

Anyway, would be great. Competition is always good.

Are you kidding?

Good to great prices and great customer service - and you're asking whether we would like newegg to come to Canada?

You know how many times I see the name newegg referenced over at Anandtech ... and how many times I think in my own mind "They don't ship to Canada and they don't take CND credit cards ...?"

Doesn't matter to me.
I've been ordering from them for the longest time (3+ years).
And not all their prices are good. Their "refurb" section is the best for CPU, RAM and the odd toy.

There is an axiom in any business:

LOW PRICE
QUALITY PRODUCTS
EXCELLANT CUSTOMER SERVICE

PICK ANY TWO.

If the service is good and the quality is there, I don't mind paying a little extra. Having said that, I'm not opposed to Staples PM'ing to get the price down.

Sure, why not?

Incidentally is this poll for fun or are we actually being counted toward something? It would be nice to have one, but who knows what the Canadian market will support.
