How to sell things on Drop & How Drop charge them?
Hi , this Kyle from China. Since a month ago, my team wanted to build a brand to produce the high quality of mechanical keyboard and headset to sell aboard. Now we already got the license to do so, and we can't wait to bring our products to meet everyone. But the products are still in the period of designing, it would take some time :( There are some questions we can't find the ways to solve - how to sell keyboard on Drop, and the details about how Drop charge per product? - Actually I sent an email to Drop Studio for some questions, but I didn't receive the answer.( Drop Studio also mentioned that they can contact me only if they were interested in my design / products ). So I'm here ask for help. If anyone can answer my question, I would really appreciate it :)

"We did have 2 guys at CES helping us getting more great products on the site, but that has absolutely no bearing on the ErgoDox fulfillment schedule what so ever. "
Sounds like you need to get your story straight ;)
Anyway, people understand that it takes time to get multiple components from multiple vendors ordered, manufactured, quality checked, shipped, etc, and that every delay from a manufacturer delays the whole process. They understand that 95% of the process is out of your control, and that you're waiting as much as they are for the most part.
What they don't understand is why you can't provide regular updates without constant pestering, or even meet your own self-imposed weekly update schedule.
All you need to do is once a week say "hey we're just waiting for the keycaps to finish production, or the cases to finish quality checks, or X to do Y" and people will be much happier, since they have some idea of what's happening. It takes 5 minutes and it will get people off your back.
