I've had bad experiences with newegg so I'm trying to get parts from Amazon.

I, too, am curious as to your bad experiences with Newegg. If its dead parts or ridiculous packaging, that will happened anywhere and everywhere. It isn't necessarily the end-supply vendor's fault that some parts arrive DOA. That's just a fact of manufacturing. As for the packaging, they have certain guidelines to use when packing and shipping to meet size and weight specifications in order to qualify for the reduced or free shipping.

Dead on Arrival, Hard to return stuff, I don't like the mail in rebate... they just give u an american express card instead of a check.
Mail-in rebates are entirely up to the manufacturer, not the vendor. The manufacturer makes an agreement with the vendor(s) to supply the rebate and the manufacturer is the one who issues the rebate. Again, not Newegg's fault.
As for the returns, I've never had an issue RMA'ing things with Newegg. Usually, just submit the RMA request and it gets approved usually within a few hours.
