I absolutely agree. I've placed a couple of orders from HMV Japan, and the shipping was absolutely ruinous. It's painful: there's a lot of great stuff available to the Asian market, but you've really got to have deep pockets if you want to import it.However: keep an eye on ebay. These BMG-Japan Ormandy reissues crop up occasionally as ebay auctions. For example, I recently acquired Ormandy's Mendelssohn "Scottish" Symphony (one of the best of Ormandy's later RCA records, IMO) for less than $15.00 (including postage!) from a vendor in Taiwan. So it may be worth your while to check out ebay now and again.
