Now we get to the fun part.
Gallery: Newegg New Jersey Tour 2008
While touring the facility I ran into a stack of Core 2 Extreme QX9650s, I pointed at them and told my tour guides that you guys would like it if we could give away a few of them. Newegg said ok and set aside five for just that purpose. Newegg's legal team had to clear everything and unfortunately the sweepstakes is open only to legal US residents except those in Rhode Island, Florida, NY and the District of Columbia (no clue why).
All you have to do to enter is head over here and you've got until June 1st 2008 to enter. Good luck and I hope you enjoyed the tour :)

With their business model, they're smart not to take corporate POs as payment. Most companies stretch the payment terms like crazy. Net 30? You might get your money in 60 days. Net 60? Try 90. It's hell on cash flow.Jaguar36 - Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - link
Newegg has shipped stuff from NJ for years, from Edison NJ to be specific. I first started buying from them because I could get stuff shipped ground and it would show up the next day. Of course now they have there '3-day' shipping which takes 3-days even when its only going 50 miles, and costs 50% more!Basilisk - Wednesday, May 21, 2008 - link
Yes, for years NJ has had the quick deliver and the NJ taxes directly added to the bill. [Of course, we all add up those untaxed, out-of-state purchases and report them on our NJ-1040's, right?!]Over the years, they've cut their delivery time from two days to one; or perhaps I'm just ordering earlier in the day? Anyway, yesterday's video-card order at 1PM is en route today... but it's STILL NOT HERE as of 10am! :P LOL

Seems like a very efficient system, I've always received my order within 2 days living here in State College, PA. Good prices, fast shipping, an easy to use website that has tons of search options, and also allowing users to leave reviews of the products they buy is what makes Newegg #1 in my book.PCHAngover - Wednesday, May 21, 2008 - link
Yep I always get mine within 2 days. Usually it's only a day because newegg is a Ninja. If anything, I blame the commons staffing if I don't get it in time. ;)gipper - Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - link
It seems to have slowed down lately for me. I live in STL, MO, and it was about 3 days from ordering. More recently, it's been more like a week.It's still great service, and the prices are unbeatable. I just have to plan a little further ahead these days.

Strange. I live in Illinois, about 15 minutes from St. Louis, and they always get my orders to me in 2-3 days (usually 2). I've never had to wait anywhere close to a week.BigLan - Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - link
Hopefully I'll be the lucky one!I couldn't help notice the 'slow moving parts' picture at the bottom of page 2. They look like 6800's, and won't be going anywhere for a while as the product is deactivated on the newegg site.
