Heh, what do you reckon - the release of the WD20EADS pushed it down? Seems hardly relevant, the price of the WD20EADS is extortionate...

I doubt it, but as you know all computer parts come down in price sooner or later, and usually sooner.

True, but the least I can get a WD10EACS delivered for is £78, and £89 for a WD10EADS. It's £262 for a WD20EADS... :O

Those prices are outrageous, I guess due to your VAT.

Yeah. Don't forget, the exchange rate with us and the USA has plummeted. A few months back, £78 would be $160. Now, it's not even $110. Also bear in mind we pay a large amount in delivery costs as we get Next working day delivery from most stores due to the reduced distance. One store in particular managed only 11 1/2 hours from clicking order to it being signed for, I ordered at 9:40pm and it arrived at 9:15am the next day. Amazing service.

Forgot about the exchange rate, but why are delivery costs high, since, as you mentioned, reduced distance.

Basically, every delivery is an 'express next day' courier. Not all shops allow customisation of delivery time. Ebuyer, the store I mentioned for the 12 hour delivery time, does. It costs £10 for next working day (or sometimes, saturday) delivery, £7 for within 2 working days, £5 for 3 working days, and a little less for within a week - up to a few kg. Free delivery for orders over £50 as long as you use 'within a week' - though that week apparently turns out to be usually a few days.
Most other shops, it's just £8 to £12 for next working day, that's it.
Some shops, and pretty much any ebay seller, allow normal Royal Mail postage (USPS I suppose to you), which can be as little as 80p for small items, but unlike courier deliveries, is not always recorded, and less often insured.

Sam,
I guess I'm lucky because 90% of what I buy from Newegg, gets here the following day, UPS 3 day Ground!

Well, they're from California, and so are you (if I remember correctly, or near there), so that makes more sense.

Sam,
Let me put it this way, it's one hell of a bonus! The only time it takes two days, is if they ship from New Jersey!

Russ you may spend a bunch of money with them..... but you don't use the normal shipping methods either do you?? ;) Standard shipping from the EGG is GROUND!! btw GROUND doesn't come from the East coast to the West coast in 2-3 days. :P Just checking on ya Russ... don't get all excited. :D

Don't normally post a complete page but I see some really good deals here that should be considered if you please. ;)

GM,
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I do use the standard 3 day ground. From the NJ, it's usually two days. Probably because I'm so close to LAX and Ontario airports. Both air and ground go on the same plane! LOL!! I guess Air gets to fly First Class, drinking wine and pinching the Stewardess's butt, while ground finds himself trapped in a seat by some fat lady right in front of the bathroom door! ROFLMAO!!

NO bubble busted here. YOU'RE JUST NOT GETTING GROUND SERVICE THEN ARE YOU?? I normally get mine in 2-3 days as well. Of course there is an International Airport here in my little city too.. oh and we have running water to boot.... do ya'll?? :P

What I'm saying is that the EGG uses the ground and air mixed if they get you your package in 2-3 days. It's at least 2 full days drive from LA to Jersey. I mean 48 hours at an average of 60mph driving strait thru NO stops. ;) That's all I was saying... You may go on with your illusion of GROUND service, but it's NOT. ;)
