The reasoning is difficult to follow. Having seen the YouTube video of what the NR technology does, putting a NR between the wall and the power distributor sees the noise reduction benefit of that one cable shared to all those components connected to the power distributor i.e. stop the noise before it gets distributed anywhere else.

It’s not needed. The Shunyata power distributor already has the NR technology in it. Why pay for something you won’t need?

Unfortunately some of us are unable to buy a Shunyata power distributor and need to rely on something else.
I definitely think the best thing for me is going to be misplacing your dealer's address. Two days ago I ordered a new Sigma XCYes, I was fairly confident that you would know

That seems about right for an international order. I know it can sometimes take a week or so for the order to move through Shunyata's manufacturing system.
As best as I understand it, Shunyata is "LEAN" with respect to manufacturing, which means they build products based on customer "pull". This is the best way for a company to manufacture products as it drives maximal quality and consistency, and allows the company to be profitable (and it's those profits that are used to fund R&D for new products). It also benefits the customer by keeping the price down compared to "batch and queue" manufacturing, where there are considerable costs associated with holding a large amount of manufactured products in inventory, which results in higher prices for customers.
So, almost all orders are built-to-order.
Then it might take a week or so to ship to Sweden and it likely will take a minimum of a week to clear customs in Sweden, then some time to get from customs to the distributor, then to the retailer, then to you.
By way of example, I ordered a DC cable from Ghent Audio in China last year and the cable was manufactured in one day, then sat at China PO Customs for two weeks prior to be shipped out to me in the USA. So, it took 3 weeks to get to me, even though Ghent had it manufactured within a day or so.
So...with a back of the envelope calculation, the lead time seems about right.

It makes no sense for any business to keep inventory sitting around as a "carrying cost" or "holding cost", just waiting to be sold to customers. Carrying costs just pass the cost on to the customer in the form of increased prices. An example is a large car dealership that has a lot of cars on the lot. The charges that a dealer pays for having those cars just sit on the lot is a holding cost that impacts margin.
The goal is to have "inventory turns" as rapidly as possible. This is Business 101.
Let's see if Business 101 understands it is that an importing company (distributor) collects the orders made by the dealers, places the order to the US manufacturer and pocket a substantial margin. So what added value does it bring to the dealer asking the manufacturer directly?

I just want to verify from some posts I read here about the new V2 cables. You guys that upgraded from NR cables are saying that the new Venom V10 are better than old Sigma NR? That’s hard one to swallow.

I highly doubt that. What folks are saying is that the Alpha V2 is better than Sigma V1.

That is correct and accurate.
