Question regarding newegg and big orders

[freedon]

I have never ordered so many things at the same time, so I´m curious how you guys get your packages.
So I ordered my new computer from newegg this past Sunday, on the fedex tracking website it says it already arrived at it´s destination today in the morning. I have 3 tracking numbers, so I assume I will at least get 3 big boxs with small boxes inside (cpu, speakers, heatsink,etc). Unless there are X boxes per tracking numbers. I won´t pick up my computer until Sept the 27th, so I called where I receive my mail and they told me they only have 1 Box that says FRAGILE. The guy, who I spoke to, sounded he was in a hurry so he didn´t tell me if it was a big box or small, but he told me the other boxes might arrive tomorow.

How many boxes do you get per order/tracking number?

One per package. Your case will come in one box. If you ordered a monitor it will come in one box. You may get the rest in one box or two.

I agree that the monitor and speakers (depending on size) will come in different boxes...

But I also noticed that items that are send FedEx super space saver or whatever it is called.. And items that are not on that list will come sooner then the items on that list...

My last order was about $700 from them... And the items that were not part of the Super Fedex saver crap came first and a few days later my Super saver items arrived...

[freedon]

All my orders have always been Save Shipping.
I didn't order no monitor (already have one). The biggest things I could imagine are the Case (Antec 1080AMG, something like that) and the Logitech Z-640 speakers and the Video card.

So you think I'll get a big Fedex box with everything inside

No, I'll bet you just get a bunch of big ones

[Colossus]

I agree.. The case is one box...

And the other two are no larger then the size of the case box.. Most of my Fedex boxes have been standard sized FedEx boxes...

[freedon]

Then it's strange that the person I was talking with only mentioned I had one box but the fedex website says everything was delivered.
I send a fax some minutes ago with a copy from the fedex site (time departed, time arrived, who recived it, etc) of all 3 shipments. Tomorow I'll call back to be sure everything should be there.

If you got 3 shipping tracking numbers... Then there are 3 boxes

There wont be just one.. They wont put the case in the box with the rest of the items..

[angomeka]

one time i got 4 boxes from them. IT was a big order

[Spineshank]

Yea i just got my case today from them and it said fragile on it.

Ooops double post

[Delphi00]

when i ordered my comp, i seperated out things to make use of the combo's (the ones with free shipping anyway) and ordered missing parts from 3 other companies...

ended up with 14 boxes spread over 3 days...

Friday morning:
I called the place where I receive my mail. They told me one box says Logitech (my speakers) but they insist they haven't recieved more boxes.

I go to my morning classes, and try to call back in the afternoon

Been trying to call since yesterday in the afternoon and today, they have 'caller waiting' so every time it rings it sound as they didn't answer. But strange that its the same everytime. Could it be due to bad weather? This is an international call, so I wonder.

On the fedex website, I selected 'signature proof' and the same person signed for all 3 orders, but it looks 100% identicall on all 3 of them

Saturday morning:
So I finally called Fedex to make sure that it was more than 1 box (and also that I haven't been able to check my packages), and a lady told me becuase the orders were delivered at the same place and time, the person can sign one time instead of one per order. And because it is the same time and place, they could receive one box instead of many.

I can't apply to track the order, Fedex only makes phone calls back, no email.

So I can only hope that my order did arrive and these people are lazy to check in the back if there are more boxes.

It's barely been 2 days since you made this post. What was the estimated arrival date of the packages? I mean new egg usually ships things quicker than estimated but sometimes it actually takes as long as they say it will. I know you're excited over the order but you gotta calm down a little. And there is only 1 tracking number per box

The fedex website says the orders already arrived at its destination Thursday morning. (Just in case you didn't see my profile, I live in Mexico so I won't get the order delivered at my front door , I do have this mail service in McAllen,Texas where I receive my mail/packages)

Lets call this mail service US Mail (thats not the exact name, but instead of calling it a mail service)

I'm very excited about my stuff, but what I'm concerned is yesterday morning (last time I could contact someone from US Mail) they told me they only have 1 package. But the fedex site says everything was delivered on Thursday. I have 3 tracking orders but the lady at Fedex told me today that becuase the order was destinated at the same place and time, Fedex could have put everything in 1 box. I don't think this happned becuase yesterday that I called US Mail, they told me they only have 1 box that says Logitech.

So where's the rest of my order, that's what worries me
