Yes, these things vary from country to country.

In desperation, I was thinking of starting an ‘exchange thread’ where we could help each other out with CD purchases. For example, if I saw something on Discogs I wanted, from a seller in Germany, I could have it sent to you, and then you could send it on to me. Of course, that means paying shipping TWICE (first to the seller, and then to you), but maybe it would still be cheaper. At least compared to some of those outrageous shipping costs I see there. You could send it on without jewel case, for example. I haven’t done the math, but something to ponder. I would obviously also do the same on my end.
