The 350 USD is the wholesale price for your retailers. But if you need a sample for testing. We also can give you this price.
You also can buy from our Amazon US. The devices been sale in Amazon, we need sent the devices to Amazon warehouse (Shipping cost), clearance tax and duty in UK, The platform cost in Amazon. So the retail pirce is 549 USD.
If you buy from our factory, you need bear the shipping cost from China to US.
We launch the Note at the early of March. So you have to wait until March.

Yes, you can use Paypal. Sorry the shipping company are out for work in case our Chinese new year holiday. so I can not ask the shipping cost. All our products have 1 years warranty. The return policy in case is malfunctioning. You can sending back to our China office (you bear the cost) and we send a new one for you (we bear the cost). If you think it is much trouble, you can buy from our Amazon shop. it is 549 USD.

It does seem like a pretty good deal assuming shipping isn't more than $50, although if you get a lemon, you'll need to pay US to China shipping & deal with Chinese officials rather than Amazon. The good side is that they do PayPal, so you get some protection that way.
I started the conversation a while back through their contact form, asking them some questions about Max2 before it was out, and now Note. It's probably still there.
