The price isn't the same everywere.
If I was supposed to send a disc with a keep-case outside of Europe the
price would be at least 7 USD including shipping, disc and keep-case.
For a disc alone the shipping would be approx. 1.33 or 3.33, depending on
the weight (up to 20 gram respectively 100gram).
