Well, Massdrop doesn't operate like a normal consumer focused website where product is in stock and sold to a person on a consistent, ongoing basis. Massdrop doesn't have a warehouse full of stuff ready to go. Basically, what they do is contact a vendor and say if we can sell X number of units for you in a short amount of time, what is the best price you can offer. In doing so, all the participants can get a lower price. This is essentially how big companies, like Amazon, can often get better prices than a smaller vendor. They agree to sell so much product per period and therefore they get a good price and are able to offer it at a discount. Only Amazon does this all the time, and MD does this for short periods of time.
Now, how this impacts the MD process is that the deals they offer are for a limited time, and the amount of time your order takes to reach you is significantly longer. You may be waiting a month or more. This is because MD doesn't place the order with their vendor until the drop has ended. Once it has ended that vendor ships all the orders to MD, then MD breaks up the order and ships iit to the individual participants.
So, you see, this drop for the Ducky Mini is currently over and the boards are being shipped to the participants. Once the entirety of the group buy process has concluded they may then open it up again for orders.
There are other places to order this board that won't result in you waiting on the group buy process. It will cost you more though.
