WTF were you doing sending it back to Newegg? For warranty service you should always seek out manufacturer related options first, everyone knows this.
OK, now I know this too.
Almost all online vendors offer a 30-day warranty. Mwave, Geeks, 3Btech, Starmicro, Zipzoomfly, Newbiz, Micro Center, Directtron, PartsPC just to name a few that I use.
In the past the few times I have had a product fail in the first 30 days I have called upon their warranty and they have honored it no problem. Of course they take care of anything DOA.
Now I'm not gonna bring up each vendor and search for the specific warranty period, just generalizing here so if one of the mentioned doesn't have 30-days, no big deal.
If anything failed at a later time I would check to see if it was still under the manufacturers warranty.
It worked for me, but I guess what everyone is telling me is that I was doing it wrong?
And that I was an ignorant jerk for not ever having to deal with a missing UPC on a replacement from an online vendor. Although it is never posted on the product page or the rebate option, or for that matter the simple return policy page that you see when asking for an RMA.
