The seller padded the postage a bit--out of curiosity I checked the web
site of the Swedish post office:
http://www.posten.se/foretag/vara_tjanster/postageguide/postguideParcelEurope.jspv.
As you can see there, a 2 kg package within the EU costs 261.25 SEK,
which converts to $40 at current exchange rates.
