Has anyone noticed that Newegg has jacked up their shipping and handling charges lately? I mean in some instances the shipping is $6, 7, 8+ or more, even on small items! It sometimes adds 10%, 25% or more to the price, and there is no option to downgrade from the 3-day service to ground. I find myself using Newegg's site to find products and information, then buying the product on ZipZoomFly because they have it for the same price but with 3-day shipping included.
For example, I just wanted a simple USB HDD enclosure, only to find that it costs $6+ to ship a light, plastic box that only costs $20 itself. Even a dinky stick of RAM costs $5 or more to ship!
It especially burns me when some little item gets shipped with exensive 3-day shipping, and gets shipped from the New Jersey site (I live near Philly). I still pay for the expensive shipping, when plain gronud would have probably gotten it here in a day or 2.
