You get to put the contents and value on the packaging. If you put above $20.00 chances are you will be hit with a £12.00 plus import fee. If you put less, like I do ($15.00 - used optical discs) then if it does go missing you get a loss on your insurance claim.

Diabolik for up to 5 discs average postage around $25.00 and is insured. Jessie will replace your discs if the claim is valid. Swings and roundabouts, mate but still a lot cheaper than the EBay scalpers if you're after a couple of films that just don't seem to be appearing on Diabolik.
Alternatively you could buy something from a British label and not give Bill any money.
