Kevinis it typical that the purchase period is ahead of the assembly period. In a simpler question: When can I give you my money?

jaredfThere will be a later shipment of more SHIFT keyboards that will be available for sale, but that is gonna be 6-10 weeks after the first shipment that covers the pre-orders.
High-Profile is on the roadmap but that's pretty far down the road. Doing our best to get the low-profiles done and shipped first- obviously.

a7hybnj2"is it typical that the purchase period is ahead of the assembly period"
It's called a group buy, and it's very common in the mechanical keyboard community. Many of them are one-time-only runs, and sometimes limited in amount; if you miss the open period, you're SOL unless extras are produced or someone is willing to part with theirs.
"When can I give you my money?"
You are, however, in luck, because this is not just a typical GB, but the launch GB for a Massdrop product. Like the CTRL and ALT, the SHIFT will be produced in an ongoing fashion. Once all the kinks are worked out, this keyboard should be available on an ongoing basis: per Kevin, likely 6 to 10 weeks after those of us who joined the preorder GB receive ours. So you're looking at probably summer or fall; if you hit "Request," you'll get an email alert when it's available again.

MarcvsBlvWe're very focused on getting this first run done, but do have plans for more low pro, high pro, barebones, etc versions in the future. The offering should look a lot like what you see with CTRL and ALT once it has reached its steady-state. It's just a bumpy road getting there...

KevinThanks for responding. I understand that some of the delays are as a result to COVID related stuff and that's outside of your control. The original 8-12 week delay e-mail back in January said, "We're terribly sorry about the delay and we're looking at packing a couple of goodies into your shipment of SHIFT Keyboards as a thank you for your continued patience." It'd be nice to know what those items are, as I think that would ease the sting a little.

Kevin"I was hoping to be able to give everyone a free carrying case (like this, but fitting the SHIFT), but those won't be ready for another 6 weeks. Things are looking more like giving you guys a credit, but I'm still bouncing some ideas around internally."
Please tell me that by "credit" you mean "partial refund to our original purchase source" and not "site credit." Our compensation for the massive delays on this project shouldn't be the opportunity to give Massdrop even more money; if you do go that route, the amount should be commensurately inflated to compensate for the fact that you're just generating more sales for yourself.
A carrying case would make sense as a bonus for a smaller form-factor keyboard that's more likely to be treated as portable, but an 1800 is going to be a single-desk model for me (and probably most other buyers).
@n3tc4t @DtC83 @Praviux I don't know how y'all missed it, but this isn't a special one-time GB. This is exactly like the ALT and CTRL: After the initial preorder (which if you'd actually bothered to read the product description, you'd see described as a preorder, not a completed one-time group buy, with mentions of the keyboard being "latest addition to our family of mechanical keyboards" and that after the preorder is fulfilled it will eventually be "in inventory"), it will become a permanent part of the collection and available on an ongoing, rolling basis. You won't need to worry about snagging one from a limited group of leftovers. This has also been answered over and over and over, even in this exact comment thread you're replying to.

Kevin"When you're making 1000+ of something (600 preorders, plus some extras)"
Would it speed things up at all to put in smaller orders as slots open up, so they can work on some of the keyboards and then ship them in batches as they're available? I'm sure I speak for every reasonable person here when I say that I would much rather have the keyboards shipped as-available (in presale order, or even randomly) than have to wait until there's enough for literally everyone, even if it means other buyers get theirs before mine. (Not to mention you potentially doubling the quantity for "some extras." If there were smaller quantities available, but you're have us waiting extra weeks—if not months—just so you can build more keebs to immediately have stock to sell...)

eponymousHi @eponymous, you giving a good suggestion, but I think that in case of a small batch production cost of a single unit should increase significantly making DROP earning close to 0, that is why I am very doubtful they would choose this manufacturing type

Jun 14, 2020

KGZRThat's the point, though; it's the same order size, just with the work spread out over more time. So it would only depend on how easy it is for the factory to switch between projects to crank this out in smaller batches as components come in (50, 100, 250 at a time; whatever is worth it for them to do), while still producing the same number of units overall. If it's absolutely not affordable, fine, but right now we have absolutely no idea, just speculation.

eponymousexactly :) "how easy it is for the factory to switch between projects" - and what is the efficiency of the "line", also they would need some space to store the assembly parts (which also costs something) - overall indeed for us, consumers, it would be the best option - to get stuff we have bought as soon as it is produced, but for DROP it is a more expensive and complex approach to manage
unfortunately - yes, still the guessing game

KGZR@eponymous Not going to get too deep into this, but our order is for 1000+, but they're making 600 as part of a first batch for us, with more coming later. They'd rather wait and make all of them at once but we've paid extra for them to expedite (funny term, I know) the production of the first 600. As @KGZR points out, they don't like "Switching between projects" on the assembly line.

Moonshine1994In case this isn't just a hopeful jest, QC is Quality Control (probably the first round).

nelgabprI'm just guessing right now, and this is not official information, but China's Dragon Boat Festival started last week, it is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.. That means almost all business is closed till the 28th. So if they didn't ship it out before then, than it's probably just sitting in the warehouse right now until they resume work.. After the 28th. I could be wrong and all the keyboards might be on the way to Drop's warehouse right now.

KevinSo in trying to add it all up, it seems you're saying it could take as little as 5ish days and as many as 30+ish days? That's quite an unusual spread.
Also, "Our order is not a full truckload, so it'll make some stops along the way, so this process takes, ~ 1-5 days."
I don't understand how it can take as many as 5 days for a truck, even with some extra stops, to make it to Edison NJ only an hour away from JFK airport??? Seems definitely like a same day kind of thing.
Anyway, I'm not trying to quibble about a few silly days, or even potentially weeks at this point. I believe you guys are doing your best. I'm happy that it seems to be in the final stretch and I'm sure you guys are as eager to get it to us as we are to get it. No doubt nearly all of these logistical factors remaining are not actually things that are in your control.
I just found it odd that this update seems to have created more questions for me than it actually answered.

- Does not make it clear that you’ll have to wait a year or more for a product to actually ship to you.
- All the while as you wait for the product you ordered, you get a MILLION EMAILS. I would have unsubscribed long ago if I wasn’t worried that I’d stop getting updates for the keyboard I ordered.

May 4th: No update, but I should have more info in the next couple of days as to whether production is still planned to be finished on the 15th or not. Will update again shortly.
May 7th: Sadly more delays to report. The finish date that started as May 25th, then moved up to May 15th, is now pushed to June 2nd. We're rounding the corner but not quite at the finish line yet. Will be providing more updates more frequently over the next 3 weeks.
May 15th: June 2nd is still the current ETA (finished in China).
May 28th: Sigh, pushed back to June 12th.... Also re: extras; I was hoping to be able to give everyone a free carrying case (like this, but fitting the SHIFT), but those won't be ready for another 6 weeks. Things are looking more like giving you guys a credit, but I'm still bouncing some ideas around internally.
June 6th Update: @joshuakal asked a good question to elaborate on the nature of delays. The issue is component availability. Mocking up a working prototype takes a while but you're not making it at scale so you can take a lot of shortcuts. When you're making 1000+ of something (600 preorders, plus some extras), supply chain issues start to become forefront. Lots of the little IC's, microchips, etc on that are on the PCBA are "uncommon components", where a factory makes 50k of them once every 6 months then once they're sold out, everyone waits another 3-6 months for the next "run" to be completed. This situation has been further exacerbated by COVID, which knocked out production in China for 2+ months, and now everyone is playing "catch-up". The more obscure components (used in esoteric Mechanical Keyboards) keep getting bumped in order to catch up production on more common parts (like stuff in mobile phones). So realistically, what we're waiting on is "delivery of key components". At least- that's what we're consistently being told by our contract manufacturer. The latest update we have from them (on June 4th) is that they're expecting to be done production on June 12th. June 10th Update: I wish I had good news for everyone but I don't, I'm being told there's another 1 week delay to June 19th. I get everyone's frustrations and share them. To help take your mind off of that, I'll let you know that everyone is going to be getting a $50 credit for anything on drop.com, and in addition, you'll get a coupon for a free drop.com keyboard carrying case (you can use it on either the ALT size that is restocking soon, or you can wait and use it on the larger CTRL/SHIFT size that is expected to be released in a couple of months). The coupon and credit won't be distributed until after we get the keyboard shipments sorted out (which is now expected to ship to you at the end of June). More updates as I get them, sorry for the bad news everyone :( June 18th Update: Latest update is that all of they manufacturing/assembly/etc of the keyboards is complete. They're currently going through QC, and they should be picked up by the courier in the next 1-3 days. So we're really on the final stretch here. Once they are put onto a plane destined for JFK airport, I'll post an update. June 26th Update: Order was picked up yesterday and is making its way to the United States. June 30th Update: Was asked to give a play-by-play on the next steps. So the pallets of keyboards were picked up by a truck and brought to a warehouse/staging area. This is the most opaque part of the process where we wait until they find appropriate airplane/freight space and get it flown over to JFK airport. This is done in as little as 2 days, or as much as 12, typically somewhere in between. We generally get notified when it lands at JFK, and then it sits there for 1-4 days waiting for a US Customs officer to inspect/review the shipment and ensure all of the paperwork conforms to the required importation laws, taxes/tariffs have been paid, etc. After that's done, a truck picks it up, and drives it from JFK airport to our warehouse in Edison, NJ. Our order is not a full truckload, so it'll make some stops along the way, so this process takes, ~ 1-5 days. Finally it gets to the warehouse, unloaded onto the dock, and the employees trained to "receive" the shipment check the inbound manifest against the packed units to ensure that nothing went "missing" in transit. Once it's been confirmed to be a complete shipment, it gets packed onto shelves and marked "Ready to ship" in our software. Then the orders from our database are sent to the warehouse floor, labels are printed, and the outbound team picks the individual keyboards, gently and lovingly place the keyboards into boxes with air-padding, seal the box with tape, affix the courier label, and place the box onto an outbound pallet. That outbound pallet gets picked up by a Fedex truck, and driven to the fedex depot, and then they unpack the pallets and THEN they scan it into their system (that causes a significant tracking delay). Carrier Pigeons then bring the box to your doorstep (are you seriously still reading??). July 1st Update: Keyboards are at JFK now, clearing customs, etc. Also, we've gotten a handful of requests for the $50 credit applied early (lots of people are buying Laser GMK Keycaps). I've put in the request to get the credits applied, so those should hit people's accounts in the next 48 hours or so. July 2nd Update: Keyboards still awaiting customs clearance, not a major surprise given the long weekend coming up. Best case scenario is that it gets cleared by customs on Monday/Tuesday next week, and then arrives at the warehouse Wed/Thur, and we start shipping Friday. That's a best case scenario. More realistically likely July 13-15th range. Coupons ($50 credit) have been applied to everyone's account. July 6th Update: Okay, apparently I lied about the best case scenario. The keyboards have arrived and have been unpacked/received, and it looks like they're going to start shipping out on tomorrow, 7/7/2020. We'll believe it when we see it. July 7th Update: I said I'll believe it when I see it, and I saw nothing. Hoping tomorrow brings us better progress.

July 8th Update: 37 orders have shipped today, so things are starting to move. I'm told now that they're in process, we'll probably have them all done by tomorrow or Friday. Maybe my best case scenario from July 2nd was right after all. July 9th Update: 196 orders have shipped, hopefully get all of them done today! July 9th Update #2: 258 orders shipped, still moving but probably not all done today :( July 9th Update #3: 288 orders shipped, they're done for the day. July 10th Update: Pretty much everything is shipped. There's about a dozen EU orders that we're sorting through the paperwork to get the VAT prepaid on our end (since you already paid us the VAT when you made the purchase). This is essentially the first time we've ever done prepaid VAT for products going to the EU so ping me if there are any issues with the process when the package finally arrives. Thanks everyone, looking forward to seeing/hearing about your unboxings!!! I will unsticky this thread on 7/15.
