I'm almost certain newegg has a first call, blanket denial on their 7 day return policy. In that the first time you call your denied. I've had it happen with everything from motherboards, video cards, and power supplies. I had (brand new) PSU blo up in my face and the newegg csr claimed my local power company may have had a surge. I've learned ask for a supervisor, rma approve w/ cross shipping.
Think about this OK. Put yourself in n.e. shoes. If newegg can blow you off and you end up calling the company from where the product was manufactured. The first thing the manufacture will do is register the serial number and product in your name. Now your locked in. Newegg saves all the shipping cost. Newegg has removed themselves from the equation. However keep the pressure on newegg, be nice, you will get what you want. Its important to be nice.












Some sense you have.
