Inside Newegg: They give us a Tour and you a Prize (http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/8980/Inside+Newegg+They+give+us+a+Tour+and+you+a+Prize/)

"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. "

This article is really interesting, at least to me. It's amazing how advanced their warehouse is. And holy crap they have a HUGE peanut reservoir...

i love the munificent use of robots! no wonder they can get those orders out so fast. they have a legion of robot workers, no doubt with laser beam eyes and crushing steel claws. they'll be at your house soon to eat your children and pets.
