As an FIY I paid $14.99 for two.

So EVGA decides to "give away for FREE" the new Power Link. Yet it is not FREE! I hate this type of marketing hype to no end.
 
Sure $10.00 is a great price and I'm going to purchase one, but I'm not getting it for free so stop calling it free. I figure $10.00 is around their break-even price for both the product and US domestic shipping cost.
 
If they wanted to make them FREE they easily could have. Would have zero effect on their profits for the last quarter of the year. 
 
Rant over.

On second thought... just take that $10.00 out of the $30 you owe me for the GTX 970 I purchased. 
Send me the Power Link and a check for $20.00.
I'll accept that as "FREE".

 

 
 
 

Ten dollars for shipping a very small item is actually a little high.
An economy shipping option like amazon or newegg provides is something that EVGA needs to implement for all it's products.

It will probably come in a bubble wrap envelope. That is like $2-3 for postage fee.

Depends on the retail product packaging, I doubt they will just send the plug loose... USPS priority mail small flat rate box (8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8") is $6.80 to anywhere in US. It may not fit in there though.. I know from just last week or so that a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in retail packaging wont fit in one of those small flat rate boxes. The USPS supply those boxes for free btw.
 
If the EVGA Powerlink product packaging is too big, the next size up is $13.45 for the medium flat rate box.
 
They also have a flat rate padded envelope (12.5" x 9.5") which is $6.80 shipping, but only if you use their envelopes. I sent a Samsung 850 EVO in my own padded envelope (same size) through Paypal about a week ago, and it cost $8.40 via priority mail, and that's a discounted rate with Paypal, and to a nearby state.
 
USPS put their rates up recently, so $9.99 shipping does not appear to be that excessive at all.

It wasnt a sale, it was an offer for anyone that purchased a 1000 series card prior to October 31st. You would need to go to the offer page on the evga main site to submit for the offer. I dont know if the offer is still allowing submissions at this time.

Your forgot handling, someone has to put it in the shipping method and label it.
