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 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 ......

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.

We are happy to ship either way (bulk or individual).
It is best you work out what is best for you, and just let us know.

Andrew,
1 per amp to my understanding, so you might reconsider getting 4 unless you are getting another two chassis🙂
1 set per case including 4 heatsinks, 2 U-channels and 2 standoffs if I don't remember wrong. If I've more spare time, I'll get 16 screws more.
Mark

Thanks for correcting my post. I can be distributor for Europe. Custom and vat should be free.

You are welcome. Thanks very much for your willingness to distribute the sinks within Europe, reducing the workload for the senders in HK and economizing the purchase. Great.

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.

I have not sold my case and components, but that is purely down to me not finding the time to track down all the prices of the GB purchases I 've made so that I can arrive at the right total price. I really need to do this so that I can make a sale.
Thanks for your clarification, Studley.
It would be quite helpful for the progress of this GB if those who have received my message and are NOT interested in buying this upgrade leave a note in this thread stating lack of interest.

heinz1,
When you guys are ready, would you kindly send Mark a email to let him know how many sets ?
He'll then have to find a time slot at the factory .....
Will take some time. Factory is VERY busy.
Thanks,
Patrick

I will keep an eye on the just resumed Studley sale in the swap meet section and contact the buyer, if possible.
