A few things I know based on formerly being the shipping manager to my company.
Putting the weight of the package into UPS will not always mean that weight becomes listed. The weight input by NewEgg would just be for a calculation of shipping cost. The actual package is weighed and also scanned using a laser system to figure out dimensional weight, and whatever is highest becomes listed once it hits the first truck/plane unless the weight was already comparable. I don't think it was a "typing error".
More then likely they just accidentally shipped you some extra product. If that is the case I can tell you that by now NewEgg has probably just written off the item. At my own company if an extra item is accidentally shipped we just forget it and write it off UNLESS they call and are willing to pay to send it back. People doing that are often rare.
Once I got a random package at my door. No return label, no information in the box, nothing. All it had was a UPS label with my full name, address, and phone number. Turned out it was a 160gb AgentGo external drive, that I never ordered. I was skeptical at first about it since it had zero information, but after doing some tests found it was clean, empty, and right now is sitting near me as an extra transfer drive. It's been over three years since then and no one has ever even called me about it.
In the end, just wait for it to show. If it has something illegal in it, report it immediately and explain the discrepancies. If it, say, has a nice expensive item in there, I personally say just keep it. NewEgg is not going to care.
