newegg sucks

I've never had specific problems like yours, but I am definitely shopping much less nowadays following some changes.
Shipping, primarily. FedEx's Express prices have skyrocketed, and Newegg still insists on sticking it to you for shipping charges. I was charged ~$5 to ship 1 stick of ram recentely. I added a second stick, and it was another $5. Thanks, NE. Plus I hate using UPS, but it's like half the cost. Ugh.

Well I must say that there is ONE good thing about UPS and newegg and that is that RMA's get shipped back next day.

One thing I've noticed is that whenever you do RMA online you get charged:
1. Restocking Fee (15%?)
2. Shipping
And I've almost always been charged for the shipping when called, but out of few times I had to rma defective stuff I've never been charged the restocking fee untill once I've tried to do it online. I don't know why it works this way, but I will never use the Online RMA form again.

Maybe its me, but unless you are doing strictly a return you don't get charged a restocking fee. I've done a few through NE and only for an outright refund have never been charged a restocking fee.
I do agree however, that the quality of their site and service does seem to be deteriorating.
