Well, us UK/Euro types get 'stung' in the same way when ordering from the US - something like $20 or $25 shipping to get Mondo, Spacelab9 or Waxwork titles sent to the UK, which is basically the cost of the record itself.
It only seems to make sense if ordering 2 titles at the time (the postage stays the same for either 1x or 2x LP's it seems)
Luckily, because of the exchange rates that works out just over £30 per album inc postage, which, if we want a certain variant, is still cheaper than tracking it down and paying the seller's mark up at eBay or Discogs.
So if you want it that badly, you grin and bear it & accept 'that's the way it is';)
As far as I'm aware we don't have the equivalent of a LITA distributing foreign titles over here - though OWS does get some US stuff, like the Surf Nazis for example, which really helps on the postage.
