It doesn't surprise me. The postal service raised rates in January and, I believe, the courier services followed. I was expecting a more across the board increase on shipping from all of the on-line vendors.

Before it was $1.99 per order and $0.99 per disc. Now it's $1.95 per dvd. For people order just one dvd it doesn't make a difference, but it starts to make a lot of difference when you buy a lot of discs. Basically raised the rate for each dvd by $1.

So for 1 disc it about $1 less. For 2, it is about the same. At 3, it starts the increase. What about box sets?

Never ordered a box set from buy.com but I'm pretty sure it counts as one dvd. Might be totally wrong though.....

It's not a surprise. It's been coming for a while.
Sucks for me though. I have to get things shipped internally, then I have to get things shipped down here so I have to pay shipping twice.
But, that's the price you pay for living out here I guess.
