you've mixed things up...
the pound is still higher than the euro...certainly today now the euro is
decreasing in value a lot!!!

it's 158 pound or 186 euro to order 200 cdroms from canonical... I did
notice the "currency" combo as well :-)

If they are indeed created & shipped from the UK... then no problems with
possible "customs" declarations... otherwise it might be a "risk" factor in
both delay and added unsuspecting costs...
The people that ordered recently for Fosdem can check perhaps where they are
shipped from and if the goods have allready arrived and within expected
costs (although sometimes these extra customs bills can arrive a week/month
later)...been there...done that... Not keen anymore in ordering anything
outside the EU anymore
