Armed with a camera and notepad AnandTech toured Newegg's facility in Los Angeles just around the time that it opened its first warehouse servicing the east coast in Tennessee. Fast forward to 2008 and Newegg had just recently unveiled its second east coast facility, this time in New Jersey! Have a look at the full story http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3315&p=1.

Enjoy!

AMAZING. Not sure if i could work there, not being able to borrow parts would kill me . I would think only non computer enthusiast could survive having all of those parts at their fingertips and not being able to play with them.

I am at a loss. Why open a shop in NJ when they already have one in Tenessee? It seems like it would be better to spread them out over the country.

Shipping lanes are only in certain areas. I'm sure Newegg strategists looked at the these shipping hubs, their high volume ship to areas, and decided that NJ was probably the best way to go. You would think NY would have been the prime place, but maybe they've given this sales tax thing prior consideration, to the people who seem to be up in arms over it now.

Besides, last I looked, it's not just a hop-skip-and a -jump from Tenn to NJ anyways!!! LOL. Aquick Google map showed its a little under 900 miles man.

Penewah!

Whatever they are doing it is working, at least for me. I ALWAYS get my orders quickly and in good shape.

if you look at population density having one in nj makes a lot of sense, having one in california does also then tn is there for the southern portion of the united states. And all warehouses do not have everything so sometimes i have stuff ship from tn when i live 100 miles away from nj tops.

I would like NewEgg to open a warehouse in Iowa as well.  That way still no sales tax for me but faster shipments to me.

Cool to see where my fun toys are going to be coming from.

sweet...hey newegg...you need another box maker? I think I am much cheaper and efficient than that one

that was very fun to look at and read ^^

Go newegg !!!

Living in Florida and having a warehouse in NJ means I should get my orders even faster !!! :-p

Awesome read. Sortation systems are very complex and intriguing. Nice to see that their system flows so smoothly.

Go NewEgg

This is exactly what I'd like to set up to my back door! It's perfect, just what I was looking for!

Of course, I'd have to empty out the 50 ft In Ground swimming pool, and dump all the peanuts in there, but high diving into water was getting sorta of old anyways.

Penewah!

Secret underground conveyor belt from a NewEgg warehouse right into your own living room!  

Hehe yep that is why shipping is so fast I order it and it shows up in seconds to my home,LOL but shhhhhh someone might find out.

That would be awesome.  Since I live in MN too. 

I just hope the Jersey house fills up with stuff faster. Out of my last 5 orders 3 of em came from cali and i live in Maryland so they take a bit longer. Jersey orders are overnight or 2 day which i really love.

Yeah, I'd fall asleep, they'd stick Peanuts in my month and I'd wake up in Podunk, AK. "Where The Heck am I", the Burnette would say "You're Not in Kansas Anymore". Whoa, the Sun's Breakin', I Ain't Wakin', got to kmow how this Dream Ends. You Country Guys might be able to Follow Me. Just for It's and Giggles let's try an RMA, then you can see where I'm comin' from. Yoah Baby, I Like It, I Love It, I Want Some More of It. Aww.. Babe, Now?, You're going to make Me Late for Work, Again. Whoa.. Back on Topic, Newegg Always gives Me what I Need before I expect it. They Drive the Dudes at UPS ragged. Just Click on Tracking #, Out for Delivery, Bring the Dogs in. Rollin' in Neweggs and Peanuts. In AZ. even stuff from NJ. is on time.  Ca. is Two vs.Three Days. Love Those Guys.
