This would bring the shipping costs per bike down to about US $30 rather than the $120 per bike I've been paying. That'd be 192 bikes though.
BTW, I think one US chain store did start to import and sell Hollandia.
Yes, and the numbers sold in the Netherlands also means the bikes aren't that expensive to begin with. But if you take a look a the prices in the US for a Gazelle tour populair or an Azor, there's about 1000 dollars that appears to have disappeared in the Atltantic. The 120 dollars can't be the main issue.
