>Oops! just noticed!...To send 15 RAM sticks worth $284.85
>they want $227.25 shipping? This is criminal!!

No, that's business!  You should always look over the check-out page 
BEFORE agreeing to order.  It's all spelled out there.  Most likely 
they wish to reach as large a customer base as they can with this 
promo.  That means shipping a single stick or at most a few to a 
user.  Fifteen sticks?...  Velocity doesn't intend to help re-sellers 
with a wind-fall. The price is low to attract attention.  Picking up 
their profit as part of the handling expense is not an illegal act. 
Always remember, a consumer is never forced to buy. That *would* be 
criminal.

>What's up with these shipping cost's outside the States?

If the shipping costs aside from the handling costs are high, you'll 
have to ask the shippers, "What's up."  Maybe it's because of 
government requirements with which they must comply.  Maybe it's 
simply what the market will bear.
