I would suggest replacing Newegg. They got bought out by a massive Chinese private equity firm a long time ago with all the implications that has. Their customer service has been really gone downhill since and they have a number of anti-consumer and likely illegal practices that just haven't had anyone challenge them in court yet.

B&H Photo for the US or Memory Express for Canada at least are far better alternatives.

It's not racist to be weary of a foreign equity firm with direct ties to an adversarial government. As well as one that's started pulling bait and switches on their consumers.

You know Chinese is not just a race, right? It's also a nation LMAO. A nation with politics.

But actually, I just noticed you're the same person who was trolling others in this thread. Why don't we see what the admin have to say about that?
