Well it is alot, when you were only planning on spending less than 200 bucks on an lcd lol
And Actually, I do believe its neweggs fault. How much work could it cost them to have a little logo that says separate fees may apply according to your state.
How would you feel if someone knocks on your door and tells you "GIVE ME 8 DOLLA! ME SAVE THE ENVIROMENT! LOLLLOLOLO , ME JUST WANT CASH!"
I bet you would not give him anything. This is my point of view, and I just not think they should hide that kind of stuff.
