Shipping Prusa filament from USA?

I really like the quality of the Prusa filament, both the PET and PLA. And the list price is quite good.

However, shipping cost is high to the USA, nearly $20 per spool.

Is it possible to find a US-based shipping location to reduce this cost?

Having Amazon process and ship would be great! I would be happy to pay a higher cost to cover the related expenses.

I'm surprised this post didn't get any traction. I think it would be a great idea for Prusa to bulk ship to a North American-based supplier for some of their consumables. This would allow more reasonable costs for this continent.

JP discusses production in Tom's recent video. They don't mention a North American distributor, but presumably that will happen "after" they get production going. JP says he doesn't want to say too much lest expectations get set too high and they miss target dates. Again.
