As a general note, shipping is that expensive because it's done by airplanes, which have prices for animal transportation and require special approved containers, so the total does come to about what you named. Large scale hamster trade probably has specialized shipping arrangements, which could well be much cheaper per animal. Such as by a truck from some reasonable distance.
