I agree. $10.25 to ship a CD is WAY excessive and definitely includes a markup. No way to defend it.

Standard shipping for a CD from amazon is $2.98. Not to mention the added inconvenience of UPS (no Saturday delivery, signature required, etc).

I support scannermaster as a sponser of RR - I've ordered from them before. $10 to ship a CD is flat-out inexcusable.

And what about an electronic download option to eliminate the CD and associated shipping altogether? Many software vendors offer this today - there is no reason the RR database must be relegated to CD!
