Bought a 1T SSD a year or so ago. No complaints or problems. Excellent service helping me to select proper drive. Reminds me of Adorama or B&H

I use them for computer related purchases. I wouldn't consider buying a camera body or lens from them because I prefer my local dealer, Allen's Camera for all of that.
I have ordered from them several times, never had any problems. My most recent order was in December, I ordered a Sony AV receiver. Amazon wanted $1600, got it from New Egg for $1200. I've gotten some killer deals on 12" subwoofers also, always with no problems
I get daily emails from NewEgg, offering deals, of course.
FWIW, newegg.com is listed as an authorized Canon dealer in their 2015 (latest I could find) list.

I understand them to have a good reputation, but, if you are buying camera gear from them or anyone else at lower prices then stores like B&H and Adorama be careful. Often times it is grey market.
Just bc they might have a better price does NOT mean it's a better company to deal with when issues arrive...I would much rather deal with New Egg...awesome customer service...B&H NOT SO MUCH...what matters most?? Lower price lousy service or reasonable price award winning service??? You pick.:)

They still are as of the 2019 list. Doesn't mean they can't sell grey market. Always good to check.

You might try re-reading what I posted. I didn't state that B&H had a lower price. They charge the factory authorized price for Canon and Nikon equipment. A lower price someplace else is often an indicator of grey market regardless of how reputable the dealer may be.
As far as service, I have dealt with B&H for years and have bought thousands of dollars worth of equipment from them. I only remember having 2 minor issues crop up and both were resolved quickly and professionally.
I have bought computer components from Newegg for 20 years, and have never had any problem with anything I purchased from them. I have built at least 2 dozen PC's for either myself, family, and friends with components purchased through Newegg, so I would not hesitate to recommend them.
I've done a fair amount of business with over the years. No camera equipment, mostly computer components. Always had good luck with them.
Great experiences with them over the years. Unless you catch a sale or rebate, prices are usually in-line with Amazon.
As with Amazon, be sure you know from whom you are purchasing. NewEgg has marketplace vendors just like Amazon does, and their policies may differ from those of NewEgg.
I’ve been a Newegg customer for years. Newegg has been very reliable, but not everything on their website is sold by them You have to be careful about who the vendor is.

I've had very good experience with Newegg! Very competitive and fast delivery. And their specials are phenomenal if you need what they're promoting. I got a Samsung 2.5" SATA III 4TB SSD last year for half what I could find it anywhere else; couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the special. Bought it and it works like a charm!

Like a lot of others here, I've bought computer gear from them. As for photography gear, if you are looking at anything "name brand" make sure they are actually AUTHORIZED dealers. Non factory authorized SELLERS don't have factory warranties.
If you are looking at aftermarket gear and are ok with aftermarket, check the warranty info.
They DO have some great deals at times.
