Newegg Eggsaver shipping - redux

Anyone who has ordered from Newegg.com knows that they sometimes offer free shipping with certain items. I suggest that, unless you have no urgent need for the item, you use UPS or FedEx to ship. The reason is that the Eggsaver shipping is provided by DHL and then handed off to the USPS for final delivery. This is common for small items such as Memory and processors. One major issue I had with this shipping method was that once it was handed off to the USPS DHL stopped reporting its progress, and it seemed that the Newegg shipping tracker didn't track it either. But, if you take your dhl tracking number and navigate your browser to http://webtrack.dhlglobalmail.com plug it in you will see the same information from Newegg but also a link to the USPS tracking number on the bottom right. Now at least you can tell when it arrives in your town.
