Thread showing why I order 90% of my stuff from Amazon over newegg.
Yep, 100% agreed. Unfortunately, I've always bought my electronics from Newegg, I have for years now, and it's where I bought my 970 from back in November. I almost bought it from Amazon but I figured Newegg's been good to me so I'll stick with them. I've contacted them but they aren't offering me any refunds at all, so that sucks.
Thus, I've learned two very important lessons from this whole 970 fiasco that is going to change the way I shop from here on out:
1) always do my online shopping from Amazon, especially for computer parts. Newegg will no longer get my business as it just doesn't make sense to shop there anymore.
2) never buy Nvidia cards anywhere near release, always wait at least 6-9 months to allow the cards to be put through their paces. I used to always do this, I broke this rule because the 970's seemed so good. I got burned, my mistake, but never again.
Hard lessons learned, but I'll only benefit from now on thanks to them. I'm stuck with my EVGA 970 so this time I lose, but both Newegg and Nvidia lose from now on when it comes to my wallet.
