Welcome to Newegg's yield management! Almost as bad as buying an airline ticket.

I sent a complaint when they did this to me a couple weeks ago, bumping my cart costs more than $200 overnight. I got some canned response, and an offer of a $10 credit against my purchase (which was a bit over/under $2K -- I can't recall the total). Woot! $10! Uh, yeah...

So, I ordered from them only the stuff for which they were the absolute cheapest source, and bought the rest of the parts elsewhere, rather than buying everything from Newegg. I've spent north of $10K there in the last 8 years, and I'll be damned if I'm going to remain loyal to a vendor that jerks me this badly.
