A Look Inside Newegg

An anonymous reader writes "AnandTech has an interesting look inside Newegg's 180,000 square foot facility. Effectively, they followed the path of an order after it was soon placed online. AnandTech was able to get a tour of their facilities before, but this is the first time they allowed them to publish any photos."

Best investment ever.

Nice... but let's see their corporate office

[b0r1s]

As someone who works next door to Buy.com's corporate office (they're in 85, we're in 65, effectively next door) - I'd rather see their corporate office than the warehouse. Come on, how many Ferraris are in the parking lot?

Should I feel guilty

[TubeSteak]

shouldn't this be under the Special Advertising Section?

Should I feel guilty for wanting to make a "frist post" in every single one of those threads?

It's like pure untouched snow, just waiting to be pissed on. And I say that with the best of intentions, as every year, I spell out /. in the snow.

Wouldn't that be a "frost pist" then, not a "frist post"? ;-)

Click on the picture with all the employees. Wow, that's a lot of Asians.

eriously "A pallet is a wooden or plastic platform that can be picked up using a forklift; palletized cargo is cargo placed on a pallet, which is how Newegg's inventory is shipped to them." is considered a story?

No, that is considered a "sentence". People called "writers" put together groups of related sentences to form "paragraphs", and groups of related "paragraphs" are what is considered a story.

Seriously "A pallet is a wooden or plastic platform that can be picked up using a forklift; palletized cargo is cargo placed on a pallet, which is how Newegg's inventory is shipped to them." is considered a story?

Now, now- don't be so quick to judge.

I found the statement, 'the automated box maker makes a lot of boxes' to be quite insightful.

What's with the jar of pickles?

[green pizza]

How does a jar of pickles help make boxes?

Advertisement or not, i think it's still very interesting to most nerds. That's what matters.

I blew out one by putting the ram in backwards (note: WHAT? HOW DID YOU DO THAT! THEY ONLY FIT IN ONE WAY!. Thats what I thought. MAN! You wanna see fireworks? Try putting ram in the back of an Antec Aria case in a dark room. You hear a click and think its in. You think "That was a little tough to get in, but hey! it made a click!". Have you ever seen a northbridge chip explode?)

YES! Somebody else has done this! Words on a screen cannot express the relief I feel.

Re:Newegg Hates Canadians!

It is because they fear you. Why would 80% of all Candians live next to the US border? They simply do not wish to fund your imminent invasion of the US.
