Hey! Didn't want to get everyone excited just in case it doesn't work out but I'm working directly with the supplier/manufacturer to order in bulk. I'm hoping to work something out within the next few days. I'm not going to say too much because
nrock is right, the distributors are reading this thread and playing w/ the prices. Now that we've started this challenge the interest in the product has increased.
One company even asked me to explain American women's "sudden" interest in the product...that's not ok and has never happened before. I think some are even reading this thread (it's public).
I can't promise I can work out a deal (price + shipping + min order + length of agreement) to do this, but I'm trying...even if and because I do have a very personal interest.
If anyone else in the US buys in bulk or has bought in bulk, I'm willing to buy from you for a reasonable price and shipping.

To the distributors lurking and reading about our challenge: we are very interested in this product but we can and will recreate it in our bathrooms and kitchens or go without it if you continue to fluctuate the prices and offer us subpar customer service and shipping options.
