Default Music Production Toolkit 2: They send it via mail or it's downloadable?

Hi
I'm goin' to buy the MPT2 from the digi store and I don't understand if they send it via mail or if, after the payment, I can simply download it.
If I go in the product page the price is 315€ w/o VAT. I click on "buy now" and it goes to the product's store page... here the price is 344€. I try to add it on the cart and I select CHECKOUT. I follow the various steps, compiling the form: billing informations, promotional codes and payment informations. Here the price is 344€ + VAT -> 405€.
Did I do something wrong? I didn't find any other way to buy it...and the price raise in every step. If you check the price in various online or "phisical" shop, it's never so high. And I don't know why I have to pay a (maybe) downloadable version 70€ more than the packaged version in a shop...
An official dealer near me, have the mptk2 for 335€ all included.
Maybe I did something wrong and the downloadable version is cheaper...
I don't understand if there is only the downloadable version or if all these forms are from the packaged version that they ship..

Any idea?
Thank you very much

Looking at the UK site it's a download product.

When i upgraded to MPTK2 it was a 4GB download, most of which was structure LE.

Not sure why your price increases, the UK one doesn't.

So, why you don't support your local dealer and on top of this save some money?

I bought it from Digi and downloaded it, everything but the MP3 option works, none of the helps have fixed that.

Where do you live? Did you pay the extra VAT cost?

Didn't see any VAT price but I live in the USA, price here for the upgrade from MPT1 was $49.95, price for just the MPT2 without any upgrade from the prior version is $395.95.

The price is 344 euro.

Including VAT (at 19%) is 409 euro.

This is a download not a shipped copy.

I can't find a reference to 315 euro anywhere, however this looks like the pre price-rise (ca. Jan 1st) price which was by around 10% due to fluctuations in the exchange rates from the dollar.

What country are you in? If you're worried about the money, buy it from the reseller. Have them ship it next day.

Yes, the Digi store says it's a download.
