It's gone up for domestic in the US, too, Q. I was going to order some health food coconut bars from a place in Wisconsin the other day. Eighteen bars in a box, for $18. Shipping would have been $12. When the store has them in stock, here, they cost me 15 cents more than the online price, but when you add in the shipping it's just too expensive. It all comes down to the cost of gasoline/petrol, mostly, imo.
