John,

How upsetting.

Four days ago I ordered a hard disk drive from Newegg and the web page and
receipt said it would be coming from China (of course!). A couple of hours
ago FedEx delivered it. I don't think there's any consistency at an online
vendor.

That's strange. I wish you good luck getting this quickly resolved.

Carpe weekend,
