Newegg -- East coast warehouse now?

Breadfan · Jun 11, 2003

Has newegg expanded? Do they now have an east coast distribution center?

I had a newegg order sent this week, and checking the tracking from FedEx, it originiated in New Jersey rather than City of Industry, CA.

Have they grown? I certainly can't complain, order was processed Monday, I got the shipment Wednesday with free saver shipping.

Found on this Newegg FAQ page:

"At this time, we have several warehouses in different locations that items ship from."

I will still end up waiting. FEDEX has started holding packages now, if you order Express Saver they will hold for your package for those extra days and consider it "Not due for delivery".

The Jersey one isn't new. The last mobo I ordered(couple of months ago) came from that warehouse.

Well hell then why are they still shipping to me from CA

They probably ship from the CA if the NJ doesn't have it in stock.

Its called drop shipping...

Newegg probably only have 30% of the items in stock at there facility.... The rest are shipped from distributors around the country... It cuts shipping charges and people should get things quicker..

Alot of distributors do this for free or a small monthly fee.

I dunno about that, at least as far as Newegg is concerned. Every one of the hundreds of packages I've ever got from Newegg were shipped from City of Industry. I live about 10 miles from them.

Thats exactly why you get things shipped from city of industry, because you are close... It wouldn't make sense to have them ship stuff from NJ... Newegg doesn't have multiple warehouses around the country, they have multiple distributors who are more than happy to ship things for newegg... Not every distributor will carry every product that newegg offers so sometime even if you live in NJ your things will ship from CA..

Just figure that if you buy a motherboard and live in PA, it would cost around $8 to ship from CA and only $4 to ship from NJ.
