Can anyone explain why it’s more expensive to buy and download a product from the Adobe Store than it is to buy and have it shipped to you by mail?

i.e.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Download £211.75
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Shipped £205.62

Adobe Acrobat Pro Download £477.95
Adobe Acrobat Pro Shipped £464.12

There’s been enough said about the price differences between here and the US so I won’t go into that, but I can’t figure out why downloading a product costs more than shipping it to you physically. Did someone get the spreadsheet columns the wrong way round?

I was going to try Lightroom out (I use Aperture on my personal machine at the moment) but I’m not paying extra just to download it.
