Well, my order yesterday was for 2 OEM CD's, and the saver shipping was $8 [$4 each, no give]

That's mighty steep, since if I were to go to our shipping department here and do the same thing, it would be around $3

They do get you on shipping sometimes. Watch for their free shipping specials. Still though, the shipping charges USUALLY don't jump to horribly with the combination of products I usually order. Though there have been several times I freaked on the shipping total and just took my order elsewhere. That's all there is to avoid that problem.

I thought about calling to haggle the shipping cost...but the last time I did that with a company their spite showed up upon delivery.

And I doubt they would refund any shipping charges calculated on their site. They're relying on that for mo' money. I have yet to find a company that really even comes close to charging you for the actual shipping cost. They all wanna make mo'money.
