.... like a disk or cart? Yes that's fine. I do that.

Sure, that's fine for a release that has a physical edition, but many do not.

Also, when buying physical copies I'm guessing that the dev gets an even smaller cut, but it probably depends on the retail location to a large degree.

What percentage of the sales price do you suppose goes towards the outside companies that print the disks and make the packaging?
