Correct. There's no "take forever to ship this cheaply" option for international shipping except when dealing with bulk rates (e.g., with distributors).

And shipping from the UK to Iceland is far cheaper than shipping from the USA to Iceland. (According to the Royal Mail site, one can ship a 1 kg game there for as little as 8.60 GBP.) That's why your FLGS no doubt orders from a local* distributor like Esdevium, and why using local* options is going to give you much better shipping options than ordering direct from the USA.
* If not truly local, at least close enough to offer reasonable shipping choices.
