Thank you for showing interest in our product, Poku-Rya'ta.
To answer your query regarding shipping costs; Trinary Star Shipping - another subsidiary of the Murasaki Keiretsu and the organization which the Keiretsu predominantly utilizes for transporting its merchandize - currently charges 37.5 KS per cubic meter of cargo space used, per parsec of distance the cargo needs to be transported. Given the small size of individual PHC units, even ten thousand can fit comfortably inside a single SSCC-Small crate (which has a 5 cubic meter volume). Our records show the distance between the Anisa System and your Way Station is 25.55 parsecs, so the cost of shipping the requested items would normally come to a total of 4,790.63 KS.
Given that the cost of shipping is relatively negligable in this instance, we can forgo it and leave the total cost at just 15,000,000 KS or the equivalent in your own peoples currency, payable upon delivery to the Way Station. Should you so desire, I can arrange to have the merchandize delivered by express cargo runner and have it at the Way Station in less than a standard day cycle.
Signed,
Jōmu Ishimori Kotone
