Can I join the Monoprice love-in?

Last week I placed the following order on Monoprice:

High Speed HDMI 1.3a Category 2 Certified Cable CL2 Rated (In-Wall Installation) FLAT Cable (24AWG) - 10ft (Gold Plated Connectors) $9.01
PREMIUM 12FT Optical Toslink Cable w/ Metal Fancy Connector $6.00
12ft High-quality Coaxial Audio/Video RCA CL2 Rated Cable - RG6/U 75ohm (for S/PDIF, Digital Coax, Subwoofer, and Composite Video) $3.97
Phone cable, RJ45 (8P8C), Reverse - 14ft for Voice $1.36

Subtotal : $20.24
Shipping & Handling Cost : $12.48
GRAND TOTAL : $32.72

Why so expensive you may ask? I decided to splurge and get the cables with gold connectors. It arrived in the last hour, making the total delivery time under 1 week.
