Reading the announcement from herald on the planet homepage made me sad, and I am sorry that your having such troubles. I do wonder though that if you are having such trouble purchasing items why not buy them from China? Since you are producing the product here maybe it would be a good idea to have an office here as well.
<br><br>I live here in taiwans sister city, Xiamen and I can assure you not only does China support e commerce, but you can buy anything that you could ever want or need here even things not available on other markets yet. All this considering Xiamen is one of chinas main shipping hubs. Though it is a bit strange to what I am accustomed to, all of the tech/computer related hardware is located at one huge area called computer city. Sadly they all close around 6 or 7pm which is strange considering most places stay open much later but everything you need is right there. Its really hard to believe that taiwan is such a pain when purchasing something when so many things are made there. In China its really very simple.
<br><br>Of course this may already be after the fact, but anyway in the future, if such problems arise consider purchasing from China instead by order or even a short trip, soon we will have a very fast shuttle boat between Xiamen and Taiwan.
<br><br>Hope I can be of some help.<br><br>Jeff<br>
