Where else to shop besided Newegg?
« on: November 11, 2012, 05:32:09 PM »
Newegg has adopted visa gold verification website nonsense. Hence I will not purchase from them anymore.


What other online place can one purchase stuff (US based)?

mwave.com, microcenter.com, frys.com,    lots of places.

Per Newegg, (http://help.newegg.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/121/~/what-are-verified-by-visa-%28vbv%29-and-mastercard-securecode-%28mcsc%29%3F)  you can opt out of the verification when placing an order.

I buy most of my computer stuff through Newegg, but I've had a few good experiences with Provantage.

Why is the verification process a problem for you?  Just curious.

Here are a couple of places I go other than new egg ...

Outletpc.com

Tigerdirect.com

Mwave.com

Computerdepot.com

Depends upon where you live as to where you shop. Check them out and do side by side comparison of prices. Don't forget to include shipping.

Ive had tons of problems whenever websites used that garbage. Last time I had to spend a month calling my bank to clear a charge that was 'pending approval' by that system... the order was declined because the system did not apparently work but the funds were held on my card anyway.

Now I see newegg using this trash. Helll no.

I usually order computer parts from Directron.com

Always fast, always reasonably priced.

This?
"For your security, we recommend all eligible cardholders register and use VbV or MCSC. However, rest assured that doing so is not required for shopping securely on Newegg. All orders are subject to fraud screening and verification procedures to protect you and your card against unauthorized use."
http://promotions.newegg.com/vbv/index.html

Beyond that I highly recommend Provantage.com

Had superfast next day delivery of my stick and throttle and I didnt even request next day delivery.
