well...that means if u can find a PC case or speaker set that is lighter than 20 lbs, it could potentially be worth it right? Just fyi i ordered a 2.1 speaker set from amazon and although the fssg option did not appear in my cart, i managed to waive the shipping charges by speaking to amazon CSO.

they even agreed to waive shipping charges of a 32inch LG LED TV that i was considering...so...

Well, for cases, i believe you have to refer to the volumetric weight of the packaging... they calculate the costs based on that.

Your case is a case-by-case basic, and may not work 100% all the time, but worth giving a try. Maybe you can share some tips on how to convince the CSO?

just chat with them before you place your order online...no special method used...if they can they will waive...recently some of my requests have been turned down so u r right it is a case by case basis.

Thnaks guys. After much researching, decided not to OC it. Will just get the 4670. On a side note, will be getting gtx 770. As such, will it fit cm 120?

Just get the 4570. The difference in clock speed won't have any significant impact on your gameplay.

Amazon mini-itx case with shipping to your doorstep

Amazon.com: mini itx case - AmazonGlobal Eligible: Electronics


If you buy more than USD125, try to talk to the customer service officer, ask to waive shipping charge. Most like can waive;)

Actually even cannot waive and must pay shipping fee, add up actually is about the same as local price.
At least buying from amazon, u just sit at home, shake leg and waiting for it to come.:D
Buying from sls, is either you very fit or stay very close, otherwise end up u might need to take taxi (mini itx how light also quite bulky and weight at least 3kg), eventually it may cost more than buying from amazon. Taxi fare not cheap hor.....:s13:

Impossible to waive shipping frm non-amazon dealer since the item is being shipped by them instead of amazon itself... only those sold by amazon have a small chance of waiving.
