    Solid. Worth it for the Newegg and BRU alone.

    I'm currently on a one-year promotional subscription with ShopRunner. I've made several purchases from Newegg using the ShopRunner shipping option. All the items have arrived on time via 2-day service. For $1, it's likely worth it.

    They are going to be sad next year when 99% of people who get this won't cough up rhe $79 renewal fee.

    I got the free subscription also. I have used it a few times for the two day shipping. But I agree with #3, I'll be one that doesn't pay to renew.

    Nice idea, but agree with #3 as well.

    It's a good thing the world is going to end in December so you won't have to worry about the auto renew. The Mayans were fearful of the auto renew.

    i got the free sub and haven't used it yet. $1 is still a great deal, considering what the dollar is worth these days.

    If you do sign up turn off auto renew or you will be one of the people paying $79. They are trying to be Amazon Prime but for a large variety of store, but without the free videos and free kindle borrowing.

    I don't think you can use this with services like Ebates, which will turn off some people especially if there is a standard shipping option for free( 5-7 day shipping as opposed to two day offered by Shoprunner).

    Agree with #2. Everything for the Egg here on Bens is free shipping anyways. Always get my stuff 2-3 days all the time without ShopRunner. $1 for return shipping is cheap insurance for just in case.
    Finding items that qualify for the service isn't that easy though. Especially bigger items like the floor speakers found here on Bens, nope.

    You can still use the service with eBates, I've done it with NewEgg. All you have to do is go to the website, and go to your shopping cart and login to ShopRunner. Then go through eBates, your ShopRunner login is remembered and voila!
