i ordered something on nov. 11th, didn't get it until nov. 22nd
Ah, you mean like parcel post? Whenever I've gone to ship packages priority mail has always been only a few dollars more then parcel post, and only a few cents more for small packages. I choose USPS Priority whenever I can.Yeah USPS priority mail is pretty good. The regular USPS ground shipping is what i was talking about.

Are you sure that was Egg Saver (3-7 Day) and not the UPS 3-Day saver shipping?
First, I'd say it does make a difference. If DHL hands a package over to USPS, it may not be shipped out from USPS until the next pickup time (which could be 4-5PM in some locations). So instead of DHL simply going directly from KY to NH, they go to KY to MA for a few hours then to NH, which could amount for an extra day if the timing is right.Also, the handoff from DHL to USPS isn't a factor...all they do is deliver it to the post office like they are mailing a package. Not a source for delays.
Newegg never had free shipping on all of their items. On alot of items they had free shipping, but on alot of it they charged shipping. As we all know nothing in this world is free, the cost of shipping is built into the cost of the item. By offering the slower shipping it lets them lower the price of the item.
Finally, as noted above, it is the holiday season. The mail and parcel systems are at peak capacity, and your package being shipped over the Thanksgiving holiday certainly doesn't help.
