I went to order 2k feet from monoprice today and they wanted $75 shipping! Is there a local option at a decent price? In in the Lake Charles area.

Graybar. Looks like they have one in Lake Charles. Or maybe check to see if there is a Grainger.

Shipping cost more than the cable

You should have a local store that carries it. We have one that carries a lot of the monoprice stuff.
Home Depot and Lowe's as well.

Monoprice sells on Amazon, and shipping is free with Prime.

I always buy my Ethernet cable on eBay
By far the best prices
I think eBay has 15$ off coupon code for today if you slender 75?
Worth checking into

i tried that 15% off, it sucked. there's apparently a very narrow list of ebay sellers you can use it with.

I've used computercablestore dot com in the past...Honestly don't remember how much the shipping was though, but it was the cheapest I had found. I ordered 10k feet of cat6 for a huge office and shop I was wiring up in Broussard.

2k feet and you’re worried about $75 in shipping? Just curious what are you using it for that you need 2k feet?

I used to go to Crawford Electric on Choctaw to buy rolls of Cat6. I'd call to see of they still sell it.
When I was an IT guy at a school, we blew through a box updating the wiring from 5e to 6. Installed a fiber backbone as well. It goes quick
