This is something that most people dont take into consideration when purchasing online...these other places that use ups ground can go jump in a lake...ill gladly pay .99 for 2-3 day shipping and know im buying from a reputable online dealer. After shopping around a bit you will see too that newegg's overall shipping prices are better than most anywa...when purchasing complete system packages, anyway. yeah, just buying a fan will be silly but who does that anyway.

For my last few purchases,
AN35N-Ultra
512MB RAM
DFI NFII-Ultra-AL
Leadtek FX 5900
Zalman ZM80C
Samsung 160GB HD
Lite-On 812S
...the only thing they weren't the cheapest on was the Zalman heatpipe cooler.
And now about to get an external enclosure, even with added shipping they are cheaper for what I want.
I generally compare to ZZF and Mwave, but it typically comes out better at Newegg.
Oh, and nothing had shipping in addition to the normal cost--looks like the USB enclosure will be the first thing that will.

Now with cables, forget all three of those places, and just use Case-mod.com or SVC :).

Newegg has jumped the shark as far as deals and CS go. They still have an advantave in shipping, but just wait until you have a problem that requires a call to customer service. I got jerked around pretty bad on a problem that was their fault, and I'll never have the confidence in them I used to have.
