Lee,
I've just gone through the motions of ordering another copy from Elusivedisc to check the figures and I can assure you that $44.93 is only the price they show you at the checkout - ie before they manually work out the discounted international delivery price.
It's a little odd that their checkout process doesn't automatically give you the final discounted total but it does say that if you click the 'free shipping for first-time customers' link to the left of the homepage:
"ATTENTION: Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, FPO, APO and International customers will need to choose the shipping method and cost they want. We will apply the equivalent savings on shipping as domestic US customers would receive. Amount to be determined by weight of shipment.
NOTE: This discount will not be shown on the checkout page. We will lower your shipping amount after we download and process your order."
They could perhaps have done this in a more straightforward way but at least they are doing it at all. A lot of US companies offer free shipping to US customers but don't offer an equivalent discount on the price of international shipping.
I didn't get a confirmation email either. Perhaps they only send an email on despatch. Either way, I got the final total by logging into my Elusivedisc account and clicking on 'order status', where it shows:
Subtotal: $30.99
Tax: $0.00
Shipping & handling: $3.00
Grand Total: $33.99
