They'll easily charge you 7 euros per CD (about $10-$11 I guess) and then 6 weeks later your package with 2 CDs arrives with a post stamp of $3.85.

its a business strategy. Your p&h doesn't just pay the cost of actual postage, and not just the envelope and packaging that might be used, but the labor and the cost of the technology to expedite that transaction and warehouse space to store the product.
On ebay I once asked this guy why I had to pay $5.00 postage for an antique postcard (insurance was more) and he replied, in a huffy tone which is admirable in email, that he had employees to pay and that was how much it cost for him to mail a postcard.
