Newegg sucks!
Last saturday my Macbook pro died and I decided to buy a new one. Went on Newegg, picked the model I wanted, used the same AMEX card that I have used for 100 previous purchases, and zoomed off the order.
Amex called a little while later to verify the transaction, $2600.
Because I REALLY need the laptop I called this morning to verify everything was OK. They asked me a bunch of questions and said all was OK.
6 hours later they sent me an order cancellation. They said they couldn't verify the payment. I called AMEX and all is OK. There is also a $2600 hold on my account from Newegg.
The cancellation notice told me that the order was dead and I have to start over.
So I put the order in again and they said the card is declined. Yup, it's the $2600 hold they already have on my account.
Now I'm stuck. No laptop, no order, $2600 hold and no response from Newegg.
Shop somewhere else.
