This would be amazing news. I heard they were coming to Canada years ago but it never seemed like it was going to happen.

Maybe it's because of our strong dollar right now?

Not sure about why, but this is good cause it gives more competition. And by all accounts from Hardware Canucks it seems to be official this time. Even the domain is up already.

i always see neowin'ers posting great deals from newegg, but i can never get them! :o

super happy.

That's gonna be so nice for people from Canada. Newegg is like THE place to buy hardware. Same day shipping if you order early enough, great prices on items, and cheap shipping.

Good news for Canadians. Such an excellent website.

Heck, I've ordered a monitor at 3 PM one day, paid for regular UPS Ground (or whatever their default, cheapest shipping option is), and got it the next day. And I don't consider 3PM early :p

Or more like because they've realized that Canada is a good market and have been trying to implement a system.

[Ji@nBing]

Nice!! About time. I just hope the prices aren't inflated and are about the same as the US ones.

All they need to do is open a retail store now so I don't have to pay for shipping...:ninja:

[betadan]

perhaps it will create great competitive pricing from NCIX.com

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

great for you, Shift.

[Artamir]

Lovely news, been waiting for this one for a while.

Honestly I love NCIX. I have been a customer of theirs for years. I have never had a problem with them, always had fast shipping, and the prices have always been reasonable, sometimes great. I am glad to see Newegg come though. I just hope they don't use UPS...I LOATHE UPS

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

the cheapest place I found for any hardware so far, is CanadaComputers. Maybe newegg might be a little cheaper, and help bring down prices even more :D

[Rob2687]

About freaking time.

[Tha Bloo Monkee]

I've glanced at Newegg before and it seems like a pretty good site. Good news. :D

Hopefully the prices are about the same. I hate it when the US sites have it for way cheaper than the Canadian ones. :hmmm:

Congrats for all Canadians!! :devil:

[revvo]

Alright so we're going to eventually have Newegg in Canada, but where will the items ship from? Will they have a warehouse in Canada so that we won't have to pay duties and outrageous shipping fees?

Same here. I've bought my computer hardware from NCIX for a while now, and their customer service is numero uno, almost always with competitive prices and they ship through several methods, canada post, xpresspost, ups, fedex, etc.

About freaking time.

Hopefully the prices are adjusted too us Canadians.

[chconline Veteran]

Finally, NCIX has some REAL competition :p

Still loving NCIX though.

[shc-boomer]

They better drop prices... Newegg will have some hard times if they use US prices. It's sad to say it but it's more likely that NCIX will have better prices... Competition helps though.

[DreadBoat89]

ncix is a great place, but i hate the fact that a lot of the products i've looked at on the site lack so much information, as well its a bit harder to navigate (compared to newegg and tigerdirect)

even tho living across the border from the states gives me the benefit of ordering from newegg, it would have been nice to have it sent directly to where i live instead of some place in the states and have somebody bring it across the border.

[Rudy]

im glad they're coming, it will bring prices down (hopefully) and since NCIX allows price match I'll most likely do that

[obsolete_power]

awesome!

super happy.

This doesn't necessarily mean the deals will be as good as the US Newegg. I think we may be getting too excited about this announcement. I'll be excited when I will see extremely cheap things like in the US Newegg. The problem is that everything is more expensive in Canada. Look at the cars. In some cases I have seen cars that are $15,000 more in Canada than they are in the US.

They have a warehouse in Southern Californa at City of Industry so thats why you got it the next day.
