They've said that the shipping price right now may not be accurate because the final weight of the box isn't known:

Our current estimate is that the box will weigh right around 3.5 pounds, but until we have actual product samples in our hands, we can't be precise. Until then, we are erring on the high side—that is, if you add it to your cart right now, the estimated shipped weight is over that magical 4-pound international limit, making your only valid shipping option International Priority, which is expensive.
Once we have an actual sample—which will probably be a couple of months—we'll do our best to figure out how to safely package it under that 4 pound limit, which will allow for much cheaper international shipping... but that *may* not be possible.

As Robert said, the current estimate is our best estimate we can give without having the final product to use for calculation. That being said, international postage on large packages with heavier objects can ratchet up the shipping costs quickly. If it ends up being over a certain weight, we won't be able to use standard postal mail and will need to use USPS Priority which definitely affects the cost. I believe the current estimate is using USPS Priority.

There was the same issue with the core book and shipping to Australia. If it does end up at the more expensive price, you will find that you can add other things to your order at minimal extra, for example, with the core book, it was the same postage for 1 or 3 books. So closer to the time, when the postage settles down see if there are other people interested to go shares in the postage.
