If you know Chinese and don't care about the warranty like me, I just paid $650 USD for Max Carta (including DHL shipping to US and a leather case)

There is no authorized retailer in US. So I just buy it in directly in China tmall. It cost around 4K RMB.

When exporting product from China to oversea, the Chinese government will return VAT to manufacture (around 17%). Because US has not VAT nor charge custom tax. I supposed to get the 4K RMB price 17% cheaper if I go through proper custom channel.

Anyway, learn Chinese and go get one in tmall if you don't care warranty.

It cost me RMB 4080 =$607 + shipping
