Yeah, this is pretty much standard in Australia for
everything, even if there isn't a "good" excuse like shipping costs. Our big retailers were recently demanding that the tax and import rules on online purchases be changed because they can't (or maybe won't?) compete without charging a huge markup.
It was a real pity when the US ebook stores started enforcing geographic restrictions!
