EVGA is still showing blue Free Shipping banner on these cards as of this post, but when I add a card to cart and go to check out, there is no Free Shipping.
 
Can another Elite Member check if the Free Shipping is gone for them too?

It is not showing anything other than UPS ground and two other faster shipping methods for me.

No Free Shipping, correct?

Correct. Maybe the limited offer expired and the banner was supposed to disappear, but didnt.

If the banner is still there, EVGA should honor the Free Shipping, IMO.

Free shipping for Elite members is gone even though the product page still reflects it.  I just bought a 3080 FTW and had to pay for shipping.  The free shipping factored in to my decision to finally buy one of these.

I think the free shipping would factor into a lot of member's decision to purchase.
 
Shipping cost on the 3090 Ti Black and selecting the free PSU Cable for me.

Yes, for sure.

Screenshot of the 3080 FTW3 showing the Free Shipping Banner, maybe you can contact EVGA and get the shipping cost refunded.

I would agree that free shipping is a big part of the reason to buy a card since it can be a good savings. My guess is it expired April 30th but is still up.

Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

Looks like EVGA is trying to make a profit on the shipping now.
 
The shipping cost when I bought my 3090 Ti Black.
 

 
Current shipping cost on the 3090 Ti Black in my cart right now.
 

 
I still stand by my opinion that if the Free Shipping banner is on the product page, then EVGA should honor the Free Shipping.

Came here to ask this same question.  Have had a card in my cart for a week or two, decided to finally pull trigger and at checkout I see shipping is like $37.  Now I'm back on the fence.  Also, I calculated shipping @ UPS and they could do 3-day(insured) for what they are charging for ground..

Would think that either the banners will disappear or the shipping charges will be free again early on Monday morning soon after they clock in.  They must have programmed the shipping charges to show up on May 1st and since it fell on a Sunday you have the mismatch.

Join the club of old timers who get ZERO benefit from any of these 'loyalty programs' EVGA has. By 6 days,  I spent an extra $230 dollars because, like a normal person, it seemed extremely unlikely to me EVGA would be offering both a 10% discount and free shipping after a year of no availability. Pro tip: if you're considering buying a GPU, do not be a fool and join the Associates program. All that will do is lose you a discount and you cannot even use the someone else's code for them to get a discount either. Not even sure why I even spend time here.

Even with UPS' rate increases and fuel surcharges, that seems absurdly high. That's more than a 250% increase, which is far higher than the recent rate increase and fuel surcharges combined.
