I've only made a couple of purchases with shopprunner with one being new egg and the other somewhere else I don't even remember. Both went fine and I had the merchandise in two days. That said, if it wasn't free I wouldn't have it as it simply doesn't have enough retailers I use. Amazon Prime on the other hand is worth every penny.

Just did shoprunner for the first time, ordered from Tigerdirect LATE Friday night, was on my door step 12 noon Monday. UPS didn't even wait around for a signature, which was kind of odd, they usually do, just left it there (indoor apt.)

Buying/finding a shop runner eligible item from TD is like winning the lottery :\

To follow up with my experience with ShopRunner's tech support:

I sent them a detailed e-mail describing the problem above and they responded by saying I might be using the merchant credentials (even though I clearly stated I wasn't) and suggested I call their phone support.

I called their phone support today and wow, I don't think I've ever dealt with more inept tech support. On the bright side, I got an agent quickly who was a native speaker of English. But it was all downhill from there. I described the problem and she had to put me on hold for five minutes to ask a supervisor what to do. She then came back saying that I had to set up a separate log-in for each merchant. This made no sense to me and I asked her how to do it, but it became clear that she was talking about the account with the merchant itself, which I have already. So again she had to go back to her supervisor. When she finally came back she said she would have to open a ticket for me. Fine. She asks for my e-mail address for the account and I give it to her. She seems confused because it isn't a yahoo or AOL address. I try to explain that I own my own domain name and that the e-mail I've given her is valid and is the one associated with my account. She then tells me that she doesn't need a domain name, she needs an e-mail, "something ending in @yahoo.com or similar". Oy. She then asks for a phone number for the account. I don't think I have one entered into my account information, so giving her that information doesn't go anywhere either. Eventually, using my name, she's able to find my account and form the support ticket. And she tells me it will take 2-3 business days and that they'll call me. I ask for an e-mail notification instead and here we go again ... I guess I should have known better.

tl;dr version: ShopRunner is a nice service, but woe betide you if you ever need tech support.

Did this eventually get resolved?

I'm having the same issue; logging into Shoprunner itself is fine, logging into Shoprunner from NewEgg's cart is a no go.

You know, I tried a bunch of stuff and had just about given up on getting things to work correctly.

Then, on a whim, I thought, "I wonder if the two login methods handle the password field differently". This really shouldn't happen, but I thought what the heck. My original password was a random string (20 or 25 characters, I think) generated by LastPass. So I changed it to a short (8 character) password. Boom, it worked. Crazy, right? But it is reproducible on my end. Next I suppose I might try to figure out what the length is where things go wrong, but it's on the back burner.

Cool, thanks. Cancelled my Prime subscription because Amazon started charging taxes in my state, so this should help a lot.

Hmm, my original password was 8 characters (upper case, lower case, numbers, and special characters). I then reset it to 9 with the same variety but it still didn't work.

I now just changed it to 10 characters with no special characters and it works.

I've been having trouble logging in from the Newegg cart page as well. I've found that it works with IE11 and Chrome, but not from Firefox.

I didn't even think I signed up from this computer, but went on to Domino's site the other day and it thought about it for a minute and signed me in automatically.

Worked great with my Platinum. Nice find, and I just ordered some stuff that will be here in no time. Awesome deal!

Newegg is slowly starting to charge shipping on more items now.
I :wub: shop runner considering newegg offers shop runner on 99% of their items, unlike some other etailers :sneaky:

I'd be happier with shoprunner if Newegg would actually meet the 2 day shipping time. Every order takes at least 3 days due to newegg's lackluster and slow processing.

I ordered something from NewEgg last week... and even though my ShopRunner expired a couple of months ago, it wouldn't let me "sign out" and kept the ShopRunner option for shipping.

So I got 2 day free shipping on the item.

I hope that lasts...

Now that Amazon is charging sales tax in Florida, this saved me quite a bit with Newegg. The best part is that when I had realized late that I forgot to buy a dinky little part, I made the second order worry-free, since shipping was covered by ShopRunner. Add this to the long list of reasons why I love my AmEx cards!
