    Not because of their prices, not because of their policies, not because the 58" inch T.V. they sent the first time was broken. No, they have joined the boycott list because when I sent them an email complaining about how I was physically assaulted by the AIT delivery driver in my home and had to spend an hour an a half discussing the situation with pretty much the entire sheriff's department their response was a form letter. Oh, by the way, AIT is on the list too. Never again. In the future I will just answer the door with a gun in my hand.

    I don't think it is Newegg's fault then. They do give you a choice of shipping method. You just made a bad choice. AIT, I agree.

      Because the previous T.V. was delivered broken (shattered) I insisted on inspecting the delivery before signing for receipt (you know, my right, bill of lading rules all that shazazz). He insisted that I couldn't do that and as I has kneeled over to unlatch the bottom clips on the T.V. he pushed me to the ground. Having kids in the house and not wanting a bad situation worse I stood up and threw him out of the front door and dead bolted it. All-in-all a very bad situation. He was lucky, every single one of my neighbors are gun nuts and the first question they each asked me was why I didn't just shoot him.

      Wow! Did you contact AIT? The driver probably will be fired. Did he apologize?

        Firstly, I commend you on the restraint you showed by considering your kids in that situation. Secondly, I assume that means you didn't sign for it. You now have yourself a free TV. Contact New Egg and tell them you're still waiting for your TV :-D

          Did he get you in a head-lock or anything or did he shove you over? Either way, not nice - certainly not a delivery experience I've ever had. Did once have an experience where some obnoxious tosser came to read the electricity meter who was very rude to the (now) wife. I verbally tore him a new one before booting him out; I thought he might try and hit me at one point, but I think he sensed the "gravity" of who he might be hitting (good job for him, too). Still, probably a good thing you didn't shoot him. Best thing to do now is to get yourself a contemporaneous record of the event, police statements, witnesses and etc. You can bet your life he's going to go on "sick" leave and when he eventually gets fired he'll come after you for some concocted fiction. Forewarned is forearmed... get he facts down now and you'll have no problem when the inevitable court case comes up.

            I would say it has nothing to do with NewEgg and nothing to do with the delivery service. It was entirely on the guy who pushed him. Perhaps he could pin it on AIT for hiring such a tosser.

              Yes, I agree with you. But Ennis Ray Lynch boycott list is very strict. If Ennis falls down by slipping in a subway in a Walmart, he will boycott both Walmart and Subway.

                Sounds like he's a glutton for punishment. Why else would he discontinue use of NewEgg's excellent service for something an employee of another company did? Perhaps he should just choose a different shipping service next time.

                                Did anything come of the discussion with the Sheriff's department, or was that a formality so you had it filed that he had assaulted you? I've only recently bought stuff from Newegg and aside from choosing the cheap option of UPS for shipping (dump on doorstep with scuffed boxes) I didn't really have an issue. I did email them to ask why their website let me put through an order on the preferred account to ship to my work address but this wasn't permitted so the order was cancelled, they never replied. I probably wouldn't blame NewEgg in all this. But I do think their customer service could have at least sent you a formal apology and put forward the facts to the delivery company themselves. I'm pretty sure they hold more weight with them than you as an individual.

                                    You don't need guns in Texas. Haven't you heard, Texas is the friendly state. As you cross over the Texas border (except from Mexico) you are greeted by a sign that says "Welcome to Texas, the friendly state." Followed closely by another sign that says "Don't mess with Texas". We have a sense of humor.

                                      You need the one that says "We don't dial 911, we dial .357".

                                      That is a good one. Some folks down the street from me have one of those :D

                                        Not because of their prices, not because of their policies, not because the 58" inch T.V. they sent the first time was broken. No, they have joined the boycott list because when I sent them an email complaining about how I was physically assaulted by the AIT delivery driver in my home and had to spend an hour an a half discussing the situation with pretty much the entire sheriff's department their response was a form letter. Oh, by the way, AIT is on the list too. Never again. In the future I will just answer the door with a gun in my hand.

                                        Keep delivering stuff to Chuck Norris until that delivery guy eventually slips up again.

                                          Despite all the bashing, I think that makes a whole lot more sense than being sued by a burglar because you "severely maimed" (a couple of bruises) him when you kicked him out of your house.. as is common in the EU. And the burglar would win.
