    I bought one when it was $120 few days ago from NewEgg. Can I return it in and get full price back? I used ShopRunner free 2 day shipping so I didn't have to pay shipping.. do I have to pay for the return shipping?

    I want to re-order it at $90 but just wanted to know if that was possible..

    Strangesweet, sorry to tell you but newegg has a 'no return' policy for SSDs among other things(GPUs, CPUs etc.) :(

    Strangesweet, you can try giving them a call and ask if it's possible at least to get something like a $10 gift card :) . Just be polite, you have nothing to lose. I bought mine for similar price ($130) but 2 months ago, so erm.... yeah. :p (But I needed it before my trip, so I couldn't have waited.)

    I'll try that.. :)

    $30 for two days seems quite steep... considering I wasn't going to do anything with it till the end of the week :eek:

    I bought one, but I'm still waiting for a 512GB one to drop to $400-450.

    Yeah do a live Chat with newegg and they will usually credit your account for the difference in price.

    I've had this happen a few times I order something I get it and a few days later it's cheaper. They've always said "we don't usually do this.." but they do it anyway.
