Great news, international readers! Starting today, we’re expanding Newegg to include shoppers in the United Kingdom and Australia. Customers from these countries will now be able to shop on Newegg.com and enjoy the same low prices as our American clientele.

We’re not quite ready to unleash our entire catalog, which includes millions of products. Instead, we’re starting out by offering thousands of items as we begin our international expansion. Don’t worry though; we’ll be adding new items frequently as we widen our overseas reach.

    Don't believe the hype about Newegg. Most of the prices are absolutely killed by freight costs and if anything does go wrong, well good luck on the time it will take to get a replacement or refund I just costed a Samsung 240g ssd from Newegg at $197.75 shipped to Australia when I can go to MSY and buy $175.00 over the counter. Sure it may be good for items that you cannot buy in Australia but overall I do not think it is as good as almost everyone thinks it is.

    • revo on 09/04/2014 - 21:01

      Agreed. A large amount of items are cheaper (after the shipping factor) at MSY than on Newegg. Buy here if you can unless it's significantly cheaper, or unavailable..

    • [Deactivated] on 09/04/2014 - 22:37

      Yea my initial excitement has subsided. A lot of the prices are only marginally cheaper than Aus, or in some cases more expensive. Moreover, BH overall seems to be cheaper for many items.

      For marginal price differences I'd rather support MSY / PCCG (and get the items instantly or within a two days).

      For the larger price differences double check with BH as they have been cheaper for me on a number of things.

      • ThadtheChad on 09/04/2014 - 23:05

          Correct. Largely for Photography & Cinematography, but also stocks a good range of PC gear (not all of it will be in stock) and generally without shipping restrictions, albeit slightly more expensive shipping.

      From the limited looking its all very similar to amazon pricing, however amazon doesnt charge for return shipping and has price matching etc.

      Not seeing the hype around this, its nice, but amazon was and still is a step above.

  • grimreeper on 09/04/2014 - 22:23

    Not sure if these are good deals, haven't really kept up with prices. Last I checked MSY was competitive with US prices, but most chains aren't.
    I got my last graphics card from Newegg but it was a pain to get it here so this is great news, especially once they unleash the whole range. Even if US prices aren't competitive Newegg tends to have a wider range, offering things we never get here.

  • Sage on 09/04/2014 - 22:35

    That's great. I remember a few years ago seeing the site before realizing it didn't ship to Aus I was very surprised at the low prices.

  • gelf69 on 09/04/2014 - 22:35

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 09/04/2014 - 22:53

      These days, most computer parts in Oz are pretty competitively priced with the US stores. The big differences are with cars and car parts, clothes, sporting goods, hi-fi equipment.

      • Gorodemon on 10/04/2014 - 09:57

        That's true! Car prices is a big joke in AU. I wish Porsche USA shipped their goods directly to AU customers.

          Its not the price thats a joke. The base price is quite reasonable. Its the GST, Luxury Tax, and other dealer and government charges that make luxury car prices a joke.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/04/2014 - 12:57

          Yeh low range arn't bad value. However if you want something upper end or performance ****!. I picked up a kia cerato 2.0l si brand new for 15k with metalic paint etc driveaway back at start of 2013.

          Interestingly, every Porsche racing team in Australia races with left hand drive cars (ie. imported from overseas). Its sad to think that even the Australian businessmen/racers that have access to writing off their race cars as marketing/tax write-offs won't purchase their Porsche race cars in Australia.

        • Agret on 11/04/2014 - 00:32

          I imagine your NAS should have sleep timer settings, you should be able to make it sleep the HDDs overnight as I doubt you need them running in your sleep. Even still if one fails you just replace it with another of same size and away you go, that what RAID is all about.

    • OzBragain on 11/04/2014 - 09:00

      2 of them would cost you $261.55 delivered from Shopping Express or $256 pick up from MSY.

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 10/04/2014 - 10:33

      • robb6014 on 10/04/2014 - 18:30

        No scare tactics here - I love buying off Amazon but I wont touch electronics off there anymore. It wasn't an electric toothbrush (I just said that to simplify it for OZB) but it was a water flosser that you use to shoot water between your teeth. Plugged it in and smoke poured out then burst into flames. $120 down the drain, Amazon didn't want to know about it as it was "not designed for use in your country as it is 110v."

        • eug on 10/04/2014 - 20:15

    If you spend over $1000 and then pay the GST, do you reckon customs give you a proper receipt so that you can claim the GST back through the tourist refund scheme? I am going overseas within 60 days.

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 12/04/2014 - 13:16

      Unfortunately not. I tried this with a camcorder I bought from BH Video a couple of years ago. Even though I paid GST as it was over $1000, they said the goods need to be purchased from an Australian retailer to qualify for a GST refund.

    I just did a quick check. Samsung 240GB Evo SSD is $140 US on Amazon but $182 on NewEgg. My initial feeling is either buy locally from MSY/UMart/PCCaseGear for reasonable good prices with a warranty, use Amazon to save money, and only buy hard to find items (eg like some brands of NAS) from Newegg.

      For what it's worth, the company i work for bought a higher-end Canon camera from B&H that was WAY cheaper than buying locally. I had never heard of them before that.

      Another thing i thought was interesting was the Huge amount of real estate they have for their store in NYC

    • shaybisc on 11/04/2014 - 07:54

      I can't find any 17.3" laptops at Newegg that they will ship to Australia. If I specify "Global Eligible" only one comes up and when you go to that it says "Unavailable". Not sure if that is unavailable, out of stock, or unavailable we won't ship. The result is the same.

      Hardly any available at Amazon either but B&H seem to ship everything.

  • Vininski on 21/04/2014 - 15:47

    A lot of people a quick to whine and complain about lack of "deals", but did you actually look for longer than 5 seconds? The concern for warranty/DOA issues is valid though, especially since they require an RMA within 7 days of delivery and the standard shipping eta is 4-7 days.

    Anyway, found they have $409 inc shipping for 2x 4TB HGST NAS drives vs $500 from anywhere in AU, before shipping. Would only worry about their quality of packaging so will wait for other people's experiences to roll in.
