BEFORE SHIPPING:
16 individual units - 34.081 BTC ( 12800 USD )
Brack Friday Bunduru - 33.834 BTC ( 12688 USD )

$122 somehow works out to 30% of $12,800? Huh

?

SHIPPING INCLUDED
16 individual units - 40.234 BTC ( 15109.95 USD )
Brack Friday Bunduru - 33.834 BTC ( 12688 USD )

so you do end up saving significant shipping costs..... if you live on the opposite side of the world. Not so much if you live in China.

Being forced to purchase 16 units, just to save on shipping costs, is not a "sale" IMHO.
Especially when shipping was included on everything, up until not so long ago.
Buyer beware.

Try importing 16 units with a declared value of $12,000 into the UK

The "HM revenue & customs" will declare you a "Commercial Buyer" and require a vat number before allowing delivery.

Then you will need to produce "accounts" to show what you have done with them.

Edit:- even one unit of the S4 will attract a tax challenge.
