In for a copy of "Pirate's Passage". I like Andrew Lockington scores.

...sad to find out they got rid of the Media Mail option.
WHY would they do this?
What horseshit. 
Agreed!!!!

Never again will I buy from them!!!
Shouldn't your anger be aimed at the exorbitant shipping costs these days instead?
I have often complained about the exorbitant shipping costs from the US. But in this instance what hacked me off were the taxes which were not 'up front' and came about because SAE did not mark this as a gift, which they had done in the past.
yep same thing happened to me , I got outrageous taxes because SAE no longer notice "gift" on package.
I don't order anymore from them now (but no problem in communication)

Couldn't one just ASK them to mark them as 'gift'?
Technically that's a lie.I have had that discussion with them before.though this time I specified in the notes section ' please mark as $5.95 as this is their value'.If they ignore that and put down their old value and I get stung,then I'll sever ties and order no more

Well, yes, that is strange. If one can't put 'gift' (most vendors don't, so that's an 'extra service' if they do), then one should definitely put the sale price as the value, not its original retail value.
Regardless of that, however, I think the main issue here is the shipping costs these days, for which labels and vendors can't be blamed. It's why I don't buy anything from overseas anymore; hardly even within Europe. It's simple cost-prohibitive, as the shipping costs far outweigh any deal there might have been from the beginning.

What annoys me the most,here in England,is the £8 handling fee paid by royal mail ' on your behalf'.And then add customs,(which,on their own,can be negligible).

Got my box from SAE and thankfully, they marked the $ value price as what I paid for the discs ($5), so no poxy customs charges to be added.
I bought...
1864 (Beltrami) - already had a CD-R of it and love the Main Theme.
Pirate's Passage (Lockington) - the only CD by him I didn't have.
Imago Mortis (De La Riva) - based on spook's thumbs up here a while back.
The 4 Musketeers (Matt Dunkley) - based on his stirling work on The Kid Who Would Be King.
Way To The Rebellion (George Shaw) - cos it's StarWars related and one $
