i believe you misinterpreted that. it's just their regular shipping notice.

I'm pretty sure some of the item prices were increased recently as well to make up the difference.

They might be testing to see if there is increased purchases when shipping is "free".

the weird thing is, i bought a kb two weeks ago and i was charged shipping. now, i'm pretty sure the shipping should have been free (i could be wrong) but i did use paypal and it wouldn't be the first time i've lost an incentive when i've been transferred back to a site from pp to complete the transaction. anyway, i wrote mk so we'll see if i get refunded.

Nope. I didn't notice the price increases to offset the "free shipping" until recently.

Yes, they did bump up their prices $5 or so across the board.

Could be the result of a renegotiated UPS contract. MK.com has very thin margins as it is.

e: LOL Deck Frost Tactile, previously listed $199 now $207. It is a ploy, about the same price regardless. I would prefer $9 flat shipping instead of a built-in price hike. They probably did that because only insane idiots like us order multiple keyboards at once and they want to capitalize.

I would recommend asking for a custom quote whenever ordering keyboards (more than 1) because of this change.
