NewEgg only has a couple of warehouses &#x2F; distribution centers in the USA but one of them is about an hour away from me.<p>Recently, I needed a new SSD as quickly as possible and placed my order around 23:30 local time. Before noon the next day, I got an e-mail letting me know that it was ready to be picked up. Minus the drive, picking up the package was basically a five minute deal (i.e. out of my vehicle, going in and getting the package, and back into my truck took less than five minutes).<p>From now on, I&#x27;ll only order from NewEgg when I need items urgently and am willing to make the two-hour (roundtrip) trek to pick them up, having been burnt by their shipping policy once before.<p>(Since someone will inevitably ask, I paid out the ass for one-day shipping only to receive my package three days later. Apparently, &quot;one-day&quot; only applies to actual <i>shipping</i> time. The two days my order was being &quot;processed&quot; didn&#x27;t count.)<p>Just today, though, I found myself wishing both NewEgg and Amazon (who has their own distribution center very near to NewEgg&#x27;s) had a walk-in retail storefront nearby. There is a Fry&#x27;s about 90 minutes away but sometimes I just want to go in and browse and find things I wasn&#x27;t really looking for or expecting.
