The postage will be less if we can send multiple sets to the local distributor.
The mechanical parts themselves are in the order of 1100 HKD.
Unfortunately the U-channel between 2 heat sinks has to be machined from solid.
Just 2 pieces of those costs us more than 400HKD !!!!!
I also wish I had a better solution ......

I will speak out on behavior of myself :) Most of the US F5X buyers knew about it (they got an email from me in Dec).

The cash strapped California government sent me a official letter to pay "use tax, close to 9%'" in the tax return for the heatsinks and the chassis that were shipped to me. It was a nightmare to me to document only one set was for me, and I only owe USD $50 instead of $550 to California. At this point, I don't know my justification will work or not. I will know in the next 5 years!!

In short, I can only be the US distributor if the US buyer agrees to pay the California use tax even though they are not California resident. So, that's the story why I asked for the direct shipping :) With the use tax and reship cost, I am not sure there will be any real saving or not.

I noticed that toufu has sold his two cases to NYCOne. So I contacted NYCOne, too.

Similarly, Studley appears to have sold his case, but the buyer remains unknown.
