    Newegg seems to believe that 2day shipping should take 5 days.... Still waiting on my ram and ssd before I can put my build together :(

    2nd day from the day you ordered or 2nd day once its in UPS's facility?

    If its the latter and you paid for it, I would request a refund.

    Why don't you guys buy stuff from Microcenter? Seems to have better prices and they are local in Houston. Do they suck?

    I bought my case, processor and MOBO from Microcenter. I live out in LC though, and it takes me nearly an hour in mild traffic to get there one way. Id rather just have Newegg ship me things to my home if the price difference isnt that big.

    Microcenter has great prices for a local store, but sometimes having no tax from Newegg is better.

    But if you're hesitant on your build, you could always return it to Microcenter whereas Newegg charges a 15% restocking fee.
