This is indeed the last time I ever buy any game directly from the US (unless Firaxis ships another expansion for Civ3 next year).
Comparatively, I bought a 70€ worth software shortly before at its French development company (www.clickteam.com). I had to pay a grand total of ~4€ for Shipping and Handling.
