I should just make a script to repeatedly open chats with Newegg support and paste the same content explaining the problem over and over. Maybe eventually I'll get someone who actually does something to help. They would save a lot of money just giving me a refund at this point.

Pretty sure Canada Post lost it. They said it will be 3-5 business days until they can respond with any information on what happened. Newegg won't do anything until June 22nd. Definitely getting full value of $19.99 expedited shipping on June 10th (tiny package 4 sticks of RAM).

amazon.ca has a major shortage of RAM right now, especially anything not from third party sellers with inflated prices. Newegg also had a substantial sale on this RAM so it was a better deal than elsewhere. I could have gotten RAM from a dozen other places though.

This is what I bought: newegg.ca/g-skill-128gb- It's about the same price now as it was when I bought it. I didn't really feel like shopping around a whole bunch for memory, after spending far too much time doing it with the other parts. It's way harder than other parts.

For the CPU, motherboard, case and SSD, I had figured out what I wanted and just needed to find the best place to get it. RAM is different and I just decided on DDR4 3600 as a sweet point for price:performance especially since going higher appears to hinder overclocking.

It's only very recently that I was able to buy a Ryzen 9 5950X in Canada at all. The best way to deal with it is probably paying someone to drive to Buffalo, buy it and smuggle it back illegally. Can't buy most stuff from .com variants of sites and has ridiculous shipping fees.

It's an hour and a half drive to Buffalo but you can't legally bring back expensive products over the border like that, so it would literally be smuggling. It's pretty ridiculous, to be honest. Ideally, I could just use amazon.com. Don't need to convert CAD either...

One possible cause of the issue is that Canada Post doesn't understand that the address includes a condo unit number, so they decided the address was invalid and placed it on hold. Their support is totally unhelpful, as is Newegg. Other 2 items (same address) arrived fine.

Possible Newegg put wrong address on it by doing something like omitting the street address number and only putting the condo unit number. Pretty hard to know how they screwed up. Canada Post seems like Galactica and avoids networked computers. They have no clue what's wrong.
