Should I get this purticaluar case I'm looking at, I want to put bubber feet on it to replace the plastic ones it comes with being it will sit on my desk.
Found this, a pack of 4 at a great price.

Well, once you add shipping, $10 and change, a handling fee and this and that, it comes to $20.41.

Under $4 becomes $20.41.

This is shipped from the east coast so it doesn't have far to go to get to my house.

I called them up and tried to introduce them to a $4.95 flat rate option to at least cut shipping in half.
Questioned the other fees to entertain myself knowing the price wasn't negotiable.

Well, I guess I had to call them and tell them they are nuts.

Rommel, I hate to say this but that was $3.12 for 1. You were ordering 4 which should have been $12.48 Plus whatever else ( Shipping ). I ordered a backing plate for the other Motherboard which came $4.50 and it cost me another $5.50 for Shipping ( From the West Coast though ). Just got a Recovery Disk for my eMachines ( forgot to make it and lost my recovery partition ) and it was $27, but no shipping.

Well, Rommel, that's one reason why Opentip will never be as popular as Newegg. If you try to screw your potential customers over, they won't become your customers.

Coastie, that price is for a pack of 4. It says "price/pack" and on the next page it says "NOTE: Package Of 4"

If that rubber's the size I think it is, it should weigh no more than a fat standard ink pen with rubber padding around it, which is about an ounce at the most. Gouging the shipping rate much? Yeah... but good luck negotiating a cheaper shipping option.

Rommel,

I mean't handling fee, not shipping.
I just remembered purchasing a movie poster from some web site and they charged me a $12 handling fee because all transactions were done manually. I ended up purchasing the poster, but I'll probably never buy from this company because of their handling fee ever again.

If you have a Ace Hardware store anywhere near by that is like mine is, they have allot of the little cabinets with pull out drawers with those misc. type of things.

We are thinking alike.
Last night I remember seeing something like that at Lowes.
I plan to hit it after work.

Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't scroll down far enough to see the note. My bad. At least my Gateway FX came with rubber feets.

What? You didn't get a backing plate with the MOBO when you bought it? I thank the stars I have a Fry's Electronics nearby and can get all those little plates, rubber feet, blank front panel inserts and mounting hardware. I do suggest that you stick with the plastic feet and put rubber pads on the bottom of them. I have a desktop located on a very flimsey computer desk that vibrated hard enough that the screen saver never came on as the mouse would migrate all over the pad. I tried rubber feet and it actually made it worse. My server unit created so much vibration (four SATA drives) that I had to mount it in a rack to eliminate the noise it made on a shelf. One unit that a client had was so dirty that the unit (a tower) would vibrate to the edge of the desk, up against the wall and make even more noise. The dirt and dust made had collected on the fan blades so much that it unbalanced the fan and put up a real racket.

Wow, lame handling fees...thats just like saying, hey, pay double the shipping fee, then pay the shipping fee again for "handling"!! I don't exactly like Newegg either. It's kinda stupid how they have individual shipping for each item...some items cost you no money, but almost all the cases, RAM, and hard drives will cost you shipping...which adds up to at least $25. They should just put all the shipping together into one price at the shopping cart check out, because it really sucks when you have free shipping on some components, and $15 shipping on a case. Then again, it's definitely better than that Opentip site

Newegg.ca must charge shipping on a lot more items than Newegg.com does, because I order a lot from Newegg.com and rarely pay shipping. Even when I do pay shipping on a few items, it's always cheaper than the sum total of all the individual shipping fees.
