Yes, buying the CDs directly from WalnutCreek is getting increasingly harder to justify. In the early day they did manage to bundle cd shipments to Europe thus the 9$ charge was shouldered by more products. Now, with instant delivery there are times when CDs end up in my mailbox 2 - 3 days in the row and the shipping costs are noticeable. Would be nice if the surcharge for overseas shipment could be reduced a little, but in light of what Sun Microsystems expects a customer to pay in additional charges it is still dirt cheap...
