If you have ordered it, then it will be mailed to you, dont worry if it takes a few weeks , this is perfectly normal for massdrop, and the site is cheap because they bulk buy the products, and the keyboard costs that little because kailh switches(shudder)

Basically it works like a bulk or whole sale, just as a group by proxy. And its slow same as Wish or Geek

Just wait for it to arrive. Predicted ship date according to that page is April 25, so you'll receive it shortly thereafter (unless there are delays). Massdrop can be a nice place to pick up items hard to find elsewhere but it's slow because it requires the manufacturer to send the shipment to Massdrop (sometimes some of the manufacturing takes place after the drop ends), and then Massdrop sends it to you.

I actually have a question about massdrop so this seems like an appropriate place to ask. Basically if you order from Europe(or you want a product delivered to Europe), do you have to pay customs or import duty tax? If so, how will this work? I have never ordered from the other side of the pond so if there is some sort of import tax to whom and at what point after my order do i have to pay it?

Thanks for the help!

I think you should check with your local tax stuff. Every country is differnt

its just the vat you pay, its why things in america are cheaper than the uk because the tax is already applied to it from uk vendors.

So did you end up saving any money at all? For the Netherlands, i would have to pay a 21% tax and then something around 30% as you said on import tax. So a $60 mechanical keyboard almost reaches the store retail price. It seems like massdrop just inst worth it if you live outside of the states, or at least, outside of the North American continent.

That's too bad, but exactly my point.
