Newegg using UPS as the main shipper?
I have noticed more and more items on Newegg say "Free 3-day shipping" instead of "FedEx Express Saver" like it used too. When I add stuff to my cart the UPS 3-day option is much cheaper than the FedEx Express Saver. Are they switching over? I really prefer FedEx as I have had some very annoying experiences with UPS and slow shipping.

Looks like UPS is giving them a better deal now. If you look, UPS Ground is even cheaper.

Yeah, it appears that UPS has given them a better offer. Honestly, I think cometition is good, it keeps things going. As long as I order on monday and get on thursday or order on tuesday and get on friday, I won't care. If there are delays, I'm not going to be happy. Much of newegg's reliability has rested with fedex after processing. UPS better hold up to that standard.

Yeah, I have to remember to change it to FedEx Saver, which comes in 2 days rather than UPS which may make it here on day 3.

That's too bad. I hate UPS and much prefer FedEx. If I miss the delivery for FedEx during the day I can usually go to their location after work and pick the stuff up the same day. I can't always do that with UPS. Plus, the FedEx place is a lot closer to where I live than UPS.

I just ordered 4 300GB Hard drives. UPS shipping was $13.96. When I bumped it up to FedEx Saver, it was $19.90. About $1.50 extra per computer. Worth it to me.

I've always like UPS - they have good rates and fast shipping, or at least for me.

I just ordered an entire system from Newegg through UPS - to their credit, they were very quick. I ordered on Saturday, Newegg processed and UPS shipped out on Monday to arrive on Wednesday. I call that impressive.

Seems people's dealings with UPS, FedEx, and USPS vary greatly, depending on region among other things.
Here, we know our UPS man by name, and he is a very friendly guy. Do I even know what the FedEx guy looks like? Nope....and we always prefer UPS over FedEx. But to each their own. |

Well, UPS is based here in Washington and my experiences haven't been great. It does seem to vary widely by region. I had put together a hypothetical system on Newegg to compare to ZZF and the UPS shipping at Newegg totaled $38 while the FedEx shipping was $83. By the way, with shipping in included the identical system at Newegg was about $250 less than at ZZF.
