I don't think they reduce the price because of the shipping usually. Kpop albums are actually just as cheap when you buy them at physical stores in Korea, where they don't have to factor in the shipping fees. I think their pricing standards for CDs are just like that in general

And some kpop stores even add the shipping fee to the product price, to make it seem like their shipping fee is free/cheaper than other stores
