Newegg is a Rotten Egg
Nov 3rd, 2005 by Don Ray
It appears I will have to alter my plan a little on my PC order.
Dear Don Ray :
Thank you for purchasing from Newegg.com, however, we have cancelled your order because we do not ship to third party shipping comapanies.
If needed please update your account and reorder.
Please allow 3-5 working days for your credit to appear on your statement.
Your order number is: xxxxxxxx

Hi: I read your predicament and I think that my experience might help you. I live in Panama City and also have a courrier system that allows me to purchase almost anything from the US without leaving Panama. So here is what I do:
1. My USA credit card has my courrier address as my billing address.
2. I purchase items mostly from megasites like Amazon (you need to open just one account and that will allow you to purchase from their sites in the US, Canada, UK, France, Japan - I have). I use my Panamanian and USA credit cards with them.
3. I also reccommed Shop.com and Yahoo Shopping.
4. My currier is Miami Express, they provide me with a street and PO Box address. None of my purchases have been rejected for the reasons given to you, so maybe it is just the way you wrote the address.
Well I hope this information is helpful. By the way, the bands that awoke you are called Dianas, and I think that they are an acquired taste. The problem is that they are difficult to love if your first introduction to them is a red eye one.
Bye,
No, I used a street address not a P.O. box address. They could tell by the address, somehow, that it was a third party re-mailing the product. I also am using a Florida address. I think it was just Newegg’s policy. I have called Alex at INFOX and I will just configure a PC here in David. I am tired of the hassle.
And you are right about the bands at 12:00 midnight. Actiually, it didn’t bother me that much. It was a novelty. I love to watch the kids marching in the bands. They really take pride in being there. Never see a person without a smile.
I’ve discovered the hard way that it is nearly impossible to save money buying computer parts from the US. By the time you pay the extra shipping, and throw away the stuff that gets broken, it’s cheaper just to buy the parts here. If you have a warranty claim, then it becomes more expensive to buy from the US. I get my components from Unlimited Solutions in PC.

I have arrived at the same conclusion. I would be interested in a URL for Unlimited Solutions, if you have one.
