The CougTek - Newegg connection

Here it is, for all you Aussies and Canucks (and people who live in Canada who say they don't) and Finns and Brits... your very own cure for the "Newegg is so cheap it makes me cry" problem...

Good idea, but for me the rates are too high.

Annual membership fees, packing and postages... Maybe worthwhile if I'd order few CPUs and couple gigs of mem every time (along with stuff I'd order personally), and then sold them here... 8)

Cheers,

Given the pricing differences some of you guys talk about, it sounds like it could very easily pay for itself.

Bigger and heavier boxes cost more to ship. Small and lightweight stuff would still be much cheaper. 21" Sony/NEC/Mitsubishi? Expensive. Those damned Dell 20" TFTs would be in the borderline.

Also, I'm not so sure that I would use this to get some HDs. They seem more prone to break the more complex/longer the shipping route is.

I think that one would have to buy at least a computer per year (and that's with the state-of-the-art gear) to make it profitable.

And then there's this thing called warranty... :-?

Cheers,

Jan

Plus it looks like you would have to pay AccessUSa via wire transfer, if you wanted them to pay with their credit card - since most tech companies won't accept an international CC.

Thanks Merc. I'll give it a look when I'll have some time. I appreciate you gave yourself the trouble to post a link here.

I'm eager to find some time to give myself the trouble to post anything here again.
