Well, 36 bucks for a premium gift pack of dry salami isn't that crazy.
And as most of the other stuff is perishable the price
includes the majority of the overnight shipping cost. If you're too lazy to make your own creme brule, but just have to serve it, then you're going to pay the premium in shipping.
For example, I was looking at prime veal chops for Christmas dinner. A place in NYC had a very good price on the meat, but overnight shipping to Iowa was 85 freaking dollars!!!
The place I bought them they cost more, but the shipping was a flat 25 bucks...Ended up about the same cost, but I think I got the better veal.
Regardless, hardly anybody buys food from WS anyway...they make all their money off the kitchen and housewares.
