This means 2 thousand and 2 hundrer yens or 2 yens and 2 huncred cents? One is too cheap and the other too expensive so I can't figure it out. :P Here, we use comma to separate decimals and a dot for thousands, while I think that in the US it's the other way around.
The second option (2 yens) is closer to the shipping costs used by Play-Asia, which sends hardware from Hong-Kong with couriers. But since Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world... well, who knows.

2,200¥ is 2 thousand 2 hundred yen.
And, yes, the US is the "other way around" But since it takes more that 100 yen to equal 1 US dollar, you'll likely never see cents in Japanese prices. It's be like having fractions of a penny in the US.
EDIT: That can't be right. I don't remember shipping being that expensive but I guess cels weigh less than books.
