Does anyone here have any first hand experience with Newegg.com and Canon camera accessories?

They are selling the Canon BG-E2N battery grip $20.00 cheaper than B&H and the BP-511A battery $8.00 less.

Total savings for the BG, one battery (I already have one) and shipping is $28.35.

Thanks.

Retired_97,
I have used Newegg for a number of years and never had a problem with them. However I haven't bought any DSLR equipment from them, but computers and TV's they have been great!

Go for it. Newegg is an excellent online retailer. I've had no problems buying from them.

I believe Newegg has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any online retailer. I have bought from them and would easily rate them up there with BH.

Choose free shipping from scamazon and see what will happen.

1. Your order won't ship for at minimum 1 week.
2. It will ship the longest, slowest way possible.
3. Newegg usually ships the same day.
4. Whereas I don't like UPS, they will get it to you much, much sooner than scamazon super saver shipping.

I refuse to deal with them and the people that they say, "ships from."
It takes way to long to ship and the "free shipping" usually costs $'s.
I'll just sit back and wait for the order to come from Newegg. ;)

Prob a little late, but yeah, I've bought camera gear off of newegg. I bought my old 400d, grip, and 70-200 f4 from them, as well as all my CF cards.'

Over the years I've spent well over $15k with newegg and the one problem I ever had with them was over rush processing on an item that was out of stock. Called them up and in 5 min had my like $2.99 for the rush shipping refunded.


Some cameras, some lenses, plenty of gaffer's tape and beer.

When they have some of the lowest prices AND free shipping what do you expect, Fedex overnight?
