Pros: So now I have waited long enough to review the Premier Account system. It has been a year. I renewed my account. This started when I noticed there standard shipping had changed. It was taking longer and they were using Fed X to USPS transfers which take forever. I saw the Premier account was on sale and I tried it. It has been great. Shipping was fast. Even on small items. 3 days most of the time. On some stuff longer but never more than 5 days. I buy refurbished stuff. With the Premier account they Have issued refunds for item. Wow. They have even issued refunds and said just keep it. (it was under $10) They just authorized a $500 store credit on a non refundable GPU. So I though I would see when this could go. I asked to speak with a supervisor. I asked the supervisor if they would give me a complete refund if I requested it. They said its a case by case decision and its also based on how big of a costumer you are. But they don't guarantee a refund on non refundable items. But store credit and free shipping is.
Cons: The a little ambiguous at times.
Overall Review: If you buy a lot of parts. But expensive parts this program is a must. Do it.
Also they do provide an student discount
Pros: If you spend more than 1k a year on newegg, this is perfect for you. On average I spend around $8k-9k and I really get the value on the shipping discounts and super fast shipping times.
Cons: I think they should give premier members more discounts when it comes to certain products. For example I purchased memory for $53 and that same memory is $71 6 months later. Give premier member better pricing and specials. You give everyone daily specials who don't pay for the premier service. Allow the member to get pricing for the same item 6 months later.
Overall Review: I would recommend this for the shipping discounts and times. Please understand not to have any expectations outside of the shipping value
Pros: Can't be blank, so "Mary had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go."
Cons: Offered to save me almost $20 in shipping if i signed up before a recent order, then charged me full shipping for that order because my status was not completed. When queried via the web site customer service section about getting shipping returned for this very reason, was told to expect a response within 3-5 business days. It's now been 10.
Overall Review: [Company that sounds like a place with rainforests] offers Prime and instantly gives you free two-day shipping and a huge catalog of free to watch TV shows and movies (not the newest but still sizable) after ordering. Newegg sells you on the fact you can save "$blah blah" on shipping now via free 3 day shipping if you sign up for Premiere, then doesn't. Requests for corrections go unanswered thus far as well. I tried getting help via the website to no avail.
Pros: A few benefits, like free shipping (on qualifying products).
Cons: Not enough benefits to justify the 50$ for the average customer.
Overall Review: This is a nice service and all but unless you're buying pc components throughout the year, there aren't enough savings to justify having it. Other than "Exclusive" deals and "Free Shipping", there isn't a whole lot to it, and this is a hard site to be a frequent buyer at.
Overall Review: I am a little confused, have I been charged for another year when it is supposed to no longer exist?
Why did it go away?
What is it supposed to be replaced with?
Pros: I wish to thank Newegg for extending a no charge Premier Membership to members of the military. It is very much appreciated and certainly speaks well of the company.
