The shipping seems to be all over the place. For me, ordering both versions of Scanners and the Juke, it was $10.65 shipping in the US, which isn't terrible but considering that I've shipped Media Mail stuff over 5 pounds and it wasn't more than $6, they're definitely over charging some. It's definitely the highest cost I've encountered purchasing records online shipped via USPS Media Mail in the US.
I understand that shipping is expensive, and that the price someone pays for shipping doesn't just pay for postage, but for supplies. I do feel that Mondo is making an extra dollar or two in profit from shipping per order. Shipping a record via USPS Media Mail shouldn't cost more than $5. That's $4 for the shipping and $1 for the package, which is generous considering that ordering mailers in bulk makes them fairly cheap (think less than 50 cents). That's what most places charge, such as LITA, which use nicer mailers.
