If you insist on a specific disc that you can't buy locally, you've probably got no choice but to pay the postage. It's a highly competitive market and profits on each package are cut to the bone - if you compare disc prices from the links above, I'm willing to bet there's less than a pound difference between the various stockists.

The majority of six pounds charged for delivery goes to the carrier. The DVD stockist has to pay this flat rate if the package weighs anything from an ounce to the weight of a cakebox of DVD's or so. It's not a sliding scale. If the supplier wants the carrier to deliver to you, they pay this flat charge. It's as simple as that. When profits on these packs are only a couple of pound at most, where do you expect the supplier to get the six pounds to pay the carrier from? How long would the business survive if they lost around four pounds for every pack sold?

As deggers316 says, if you want to avoid this postage charge, shop locally. The only people that get a bargain when buying specific discs are those that live near the supplier and can pick they're order up over the counter. The rest of us pay the postage or go without.
