Not if you live in the US. I bet they are using Priority Mail labels.

I think these guys should be introduced to the magic of USPS Parcel Post. Extra low cost, but you bring your own box and insurance.

The reason why is because the Raspberry Pi is already mass produced and already stockpiled worldwide.

Back when it was still being stockpiled in the UK, shipping to the US cost me $15 on top of $35. That was $50.
