newegg shipping has been a huge disappointment for me. I've been buying a bunch of stuff on newegg lately for myself - 8gb flash drive, arctic cooling freezer 64, and today a 1tb seagate drive - luckily all three had free shipping. it surpised me that they give free shipping on something like the arctic cooling - they shipped a $25 heatsink in a huge box, 3 day shipping....whereas with something like a small cable that they could throw in an envelope and ship for nothing, they charge obscene amounts for shipping (and for the product itself). I never use newegg for purchasing cables and the like - I needed a short (6ft) cat 5e cable, newegg charges like $3 + 4 ship, so instead of paying $7 for one cable on newegg I was able to get 3 cat 6 cables on ebay for $5 shipped.
