You're right, $2.39 for postage and handling is not "bad", it's
completely outrageous.  I can mail a CD first class for  $0.78.  I
would expect that they pay less than a quarter to ship a CD using their
"Special Fourth Class Rate".

The P&H is a not-so-hidden markup;  if they were to charge you a
not-so-inflated P&H, then they would have to price their CD's at $18.99
or higher, and who would ever buy them then?

On the other hand, when you get 4 CD's for the price of 1 (the offer
they run every 3 months or so), the jacked-up P&H really becomes a
non-issue.
