FAQs

Do I need an appointment, and is there a cost?

Consultations at the Newegg Service Center are completely free. Appointments are required, as walk-ins are not accepted. You do not need a Newegg account to schedule an appointment.

Can someone else attend my appointment on my behalf?

No. The person who booked the appointment must attend in person, as our technicians will work directly with them to understand their needs.

Can I receive assistance with products not purchased from Newegg?

Our in-person consultations are currently limited to eligible products purchased through Newegg. Purchases from other retailers are not supported.

Can I bring my entire computer or just the component?

You may bring either your computer or the specific component you need assistance with. If you're unsure what's causing the issue, we recommend bringing your computer so our technicians can better assess the problem.

If you're transporting a desktop computer, please ensure all components are properly secured to prevent damage during transportation.

Will I need to leave my computer or components at the Service Center?

No. All services are performed during your scheduled appointment. We do not keep computers or components overnight, unless an eligible item is accepted for return.

Should I back up my data before my appointment?

Yes. We strongly recommend backing up all important files and data before your appointment. While our technicians take precautions when handling your device, troubleshooting, component installations, upgrades, and system adjustments may carry a risk of data loss.

Do you offer repair services?

We don’t offer repair services. However, we can help identify what’s wrong with your item and guide you through the return process if your item is eligible. If we find physical damage, such as bent processor pins or a damaged motherboard socket, we’ll explain what we found and what options are available.

Do you accept trade-ins at the Service Center?

The Trade-in program process is handled entirely online. To check eligibility, visit the trade-in page on the Newegg website.

How does the return and replacement process work with a Consultation appointment?

If your item is faulty, we’ll inspect it during your appointment. Same-day replacements may be available for eligible items that are in stock. Booking a consultation does not impact your return window.

Can you help with an item that's still under warranty?

Yes. We can help troubleshoot your item and explain your options. If it's within Newegg's return window and eligible for return, we can assist with the return process. Otherwise, we'll help you understand your warranty options and how to contact the appropriate provider.

Can I bring in a Newegg Marketplace item?

Yes! We can help with Newegg Marketplace items, too. If your item is faulty and eligible for return, we’ll help you start the return and print a shipping label. You’ll then ship the item directly to the seller.

Not sure we can help, or can’t make it in?

Our technicians can check whether your device is eligible, or help you by phone or chat — or call you back at a time you choose.
