Inside Newegg: They give us a Tour and you a Prize

jmke · 15th February 2006, 09:41

Established in 2001, Newegg has quickly become a household name among AnandTech readers. They originally won the hearts of many readers by offering extremely competitive prices and keeping customer service a top priority. Since their humble beginnings the company has grown tremendously, with net sales in 2005 of approximately $1.3 billion, a 30% increase over the prior year. Newegg currently stocks over 60,000 different products and ships up to 25,000 orders per day, 98% of them within 24 hours.

On a recent trip to Los Angeles we were given the opportunity to take a tour of one of Newegg's warehouses. While we've been able to tour Newegg's facilities in the past, this time they let us publish pictures and take you on a virtual tour of their facilities - effectively letting us follow the path of an order after it is placed online. Newegg sweetened the deal even more by working with us to give away some of their product to you all, but more on that later.

A Chinese company; don't see any none Chinese poeple in the pictures (except for the last). So bring their own workforce? do they hire US folk?

Chinese people are the last to be allowed to enter U.S. Chinese American were allowed to bring in their family only when the law was changed in 1943. After they built the Union Pacific railroad they were then "sold" to Canada to build the Canadian Railroad with a few thousand left in the U.S. A Short history, since you asked

To answer your question directly; most business California better off hire Mexican immigrants.
