I haven’t bought anything from USA for that same reason for a long time.
Crazy.
Yes, buying stuff from USA has become prohibitive. It's always been expensive, but right now it borders on laughable.
Just recently, I decided to purchase a big book that I had wanted for so long, as it was offered half its usual price (which is $120) by the publisher in New York City. So I was ready to pay around $60, when I saw that Air-Mail postage to Europe was well over the price of the book itself.
No way I was going to pay that.
I had already made up my mind to have the book, so I had to have it from somebody else. I found Bear Family selling it at its usual price, but postage was only 7 Euros, which means I ended up saving a bunch of money, not to mention the fact that the package arrived in less than one week.
