Shopping Online

A reader writes:"I've been buying stuff on the Internet for a while, and wanted to get people's thoughts about the best places to go. I primarily am looking for media or computer parts. Of course, I've used Froogle, PriceWatch or PriceGrabber, but also use places like tigerdirect or NewEgg. Where else do people go, and any recommendations for getting decent deals? " Oh, and of course, shamless plug for ThinkGeek, who is also owned by OSTG.

    If you are buying new equipment there is no reason to shop anywhere else.

    I've placed 6 orders ranging from 2-12 items with them in the last year. *EVERYTHING* arrived right on time or early.

    Once, I just plain ordered the wrong things because I was unaware of the power requirements/compatibility for nVidia SLi boards. I admitted this and requested an RMA. Newegg had no problem and even waived the restocking fee for me.

    I can't say enough positive things about Newegg.

    It's not linked to on the main site, and there's on search facility. Therefore the only way to find it is to go through all the links looking for it. Perhaps I might have gotten lucky and found it in the first few links, maybe I'd have been there for half an hour. Either way I don't care, if a site won't make itself navigable I'm not going to visit it. Sites which aren't designed competently should be closed down.

    And the article itself is completely lacking in any substance.
