They've finally opened the store after a few months of teasing.

http://www.newegg.ca/

I usually always buy from:

NCIX - for the prices and delivery
NTCW - for being just around the corner from my work and having some fairly irregular items
DirectCanada.ca - pretty much NCIX
TigerDirect.ca - sometimes.

So, Newegg is now here, I wonder if there will be even more competition in the online Canadian market?

Since many shops have a .ca domain yet ship from the us with all the brokerage and other border taxes that comes with I asked newegg.ca if they did that or not. Still waiting for an answer after 5 days, not really good customer response.

And NCIX, directcanada.com, tddirect.ca, nxsource.com are all the same shop as far as I can tell from the whois and everything, there's even a 5th one that popped up recently.

I knew NCIX, directcanada, and nxsource were the same shops, didn't realize tigerdirect was as well.

Usually I just order from NCIX, though, because they have brick & mortar shops in town, so it gives the feeling of being easier to deal with in the event of an issue.

I didn't know it wasn't already...it's a great store...I think my last 2 or 3 builds have been mostly all Newegg-ordered parts and the parts that came from elsewhere only did so because NE was out of stock.
