This is a bit frustrating. Here's some information you might be able to
use as ammunition in getting cheaper shipping:
When I was in the UK this summer I bought a fair number of sets and
mailed them back to myself in Canada. I found that there is an enormous
price break at 2kg weight, where a package changes from being a Small
Packet to a Parcel. Just under 2kg, the surface mail price to Canada
(and almost certainly the US) is 7 pounds. Over 2kg, it leaps up to 20
pounds and goes up from there. I don't know about airmail, didn't use
it. I found that it was *always* cheaper to send things as under-2kg
parcels than to combine them into a big heavy single parcel.
