Even thinking "exorbitant" -- if the shipping was $100 for DHL International, it could be split amongst the 20 buyers (based on the interest in these, 20 should be easy) and the shipping could be pre-paid and factored into the piece price. So the $250 diffuser pair becomes $260 shipped. One shipment/box means a much lower chance of damage, versus five shipments of 4 pair each. It also helps provide some CYA to the seller because he can guarantee that all 20 left Europe intact and secure in one nice, sturdy package.

Given that we've had to wait indefinitely for the Mopar ones to surface, I don't think anyone would protest to allowing the orders to build up long enough to ship them by bulk in a nicer package. If we wanted to be completely pro-active and OCD, we could pre-pay the recipient of the bulk shipment for some USPS "flat rate boxes" once they arrived to the states. Most of those can go anywhere for $7-$12.

So, the net impact is $20-$25 total shipping (paid by the buyer) for a product that is rare and comes from Sweden? Still a great deal...
