Newegg's $50 Premier is like Amazon Prime, but without the video streaming

[newarkhiphop]

While Amazon's debating whether or not it should hike Prime subscription fees in the US, now its decision may have to take into consideration a potential competitor. This morning, Newegg introduced Premier, a $50 shipping service that aims to cope with the likes of Amazon Prime. For that yearly fee, Newegg promises to get stuff to your doorstep in three days or less, as well as a number of other benefits including no restocking fees, free returns and dedicated customer service. You will, however, miss out on the Instant Video streaming offered through Prime, but this also means you'll end up saving $29 per year -- which is something that could make sense to folks who are already subscribed to Netflix. Or, there's always Newegg's free option, Super Eggsaver; just be prepared to wait a lot longer for your online purchases to arrive.

Probably since they sell electric, this won't work though cause Amazon has EVERYTHING. Newegg just has tech.

Why when being a shoprunner member u get their 2 day delivery for free. They always give free promotions and if u buy enough shyt from the stores they associate with, the yearly shoprunner fee is waived off.

Amazon still the

Newegg's service should be cheaper seeing that they only sell tech shyt. Amazon has literally everything covered.

Newegg is tax free and accepts Paypal. Tax for NY too Welp it's been real Amazon.

EDIT: I already have ShopRunner

I actually returned a computer with no problems like a month ago. They refunded it no questions asked.

They had the pre-paid UPS label ready 30 minutes after I called, went to the UPS Store and mailed if off for free the next day.

So not sure what you're talking about.

You were lucky.

Newegg is a bytch for returns. I never buy open box or anything that isn't significantly cheaper from them anymore because of it

Amazon is about to increase prices on Prime so competition is more than welcome.

Neweggnis whack. Only buy there if there's a sale but otherwise amazon will always get my money.

I think Newegg starting this is a sign of things to possibly come...they want that 2-3 day shipping money and cut Shoprunner out.
