[H] New mobo woes & no Newegg love
Hello strangers, Man I wish to be even 1/2 as active here as my 20's... That said I have a aggravating experience to share: So I order an Asus z97-a for my eldest's new box only to discover 2 RAM slots are dead. End result is I have like 8 bent pins on the CPU socket. Not mashed, squashed or otherwise an effect of "down" but more like bent 180deg backwards like spon face down & then bent backwards. Now I, like the rest of us, have bent my share of CPU pins but sure as shit this was a genuine factory defect given the pattern & method. Newegg takes it back on RMA only to return it back to me days later unrepaired.as "customer damage" Good news is it seems Google Trusted Stores was a worthwhile freebie checkbox. I tick it all the time after Newegg orders submit because GTS is sending full refund on a MC gift card! Oh and I got to keep the damaged mobo which otherwise works fine... Moral of the story is Newegg doesn't check box contents on the way out but they sure do at return!

Re: [H] New mobo woes & no Newegg love
But at least Intel cut their returns for bent pins to zero! As far as I can tell, that's the only justification for it, as technically it is more challenging and certainly more fragile.

Re: [H] New mobo woes & no Newegg love
This whole situation rings similar to my last newegg business. I was told that I could not update my CC data due to 'invoices' even though my previous order 35 days previous was ordered, shipped, rcvd, and, paid for. Done. I was told all I could do was 'block' my account and just walk away; which I did, straight to amazon.comand provantage.com. I asked about Tiger-Direct.com in Miami, FL. The List said 'fugetaboutit'.I did. Josh, Sorry for the poor treatment by Newegg. A damn shame.

Re: [H] New mobo woes & no Newegg love
I only ever had to return one intel CPU for bent pins, package was obviously damaged and they handled it ok. have not had the pleasure of MB bent pins,, other then one self inflicted and I just ate it. :'( At 09:49 AM 9/18/2014, Greg Sevart Poked the stick with: But at least Intel cut their returns for bent pins to zero!

[H] -OT- If you don't mind helping me out
I apologize in advance for this OT post, but it's sort of an experiment, so here goes. Our 19 year old cat passed away in the Spring, and my wife is trying to get her picture on the Jones Cola bottle. My brother, who considers himself a bit of a Facebook guru with a massive following offered to get votes for her. I figured I'd see hundreds of votes pour in, but I think she got about ten votes that way (she has 33 in total, and my wife already got between 15 and 25 just from friends she emailed directly). I'm wondering if a mailing list like this would have a bigger impact than Facebook, so if you have time, please drop a vote here: http://www.jonessoda.com/gallery/view.php?ID=1376609&offset=1 If you are offended by this, please feel free to mock/flame me. :) T
Re: [H] -OT- If you don't mind helping me out
Okay, Thane, I voted. However, shouldn't you have taken the picture while the cat was alive?
