New Egg has joined the boycott list
-
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.

Holy crap?! My wrath would no bounds if that were to happen to me! I think I'd be arrested for pummeling the guy to like a side of beef!

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.

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.

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.

Holy shit, dude. I'll make sure those guys don't deliver anything to my house. I do have a sign that says "Never mind the dog. Beware of owner." with a smoking revolver :rolleyes:

Didn't you mean New Egg has been added to your boycott list :confused:

Is this a joke? "Never again. In the future I will just answer the door with a gun in my hand." Good grief - where do you live?
The USA, where it's our given right by the 2nd Ammendment. Moreover, he's in Florida which has the Castle doctrine that gives him the legal right to use deadly force on anyone on his property that he feels is threatening him or his family.
Don't blame me. I voted for Chuck Norris.

Good Grief! If I lived somewhere that I felt I needed a gun to answer the door I'd move. Quickly! (BTW I live in Texas...)

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.
