willrickettsEverything I've read on this discussion so far says shipping time will be mid-May. So I'm expecting next week sometime? Would be nice to get a confirmation from the staff.
MatterThis the reply to a support ticket I got on Friday evening US time:
'''
At the moment we're expecting these awesome kits to ship around the middle of this month. This is a community-based project with components from 10+ vendors (from three different continents!) and we're almost done putting it all together.
'''
So still no actual dates have been given.
willrickettsAccording to support it should ship this week. I must say that I'm really disappointed in Massdrops information policy. If someone pays me 300 bucks I keep him up to date. And if there is any delay I tell him about it and say sorry.
Why not make your ordering progress public? And what the hell takes you so long to get some standard components and a few custom parts together? Its not the first time you do that drop and it is quite forseeable how many parts you will need befor a drop ends....
horleThe estimated wait for an ergodox on MD is normally 2 months; didn't you read the description before buying? No one is stopping you from sourcing your own parts; just got my 2nd one, w/o the cases though, and it only took a month cause my keycaps were on backorder.
steve.vOf course I did read the description and it does not say 2 months nor anything else on delivery time. But feel free to tell me where it says so. Maybe I should have my eyes checked...
willrickettsMy Transactions page now says it is shipping and to expect 3-4 weeks. That puts the estimated date in the first or second week of June. I'm not sure if the lengthy wait is just because I'm in the UK or if that's generic for any non-US order. Also no word on any expected customs fees.
EDIT: It arrived today, so that was 7 days to ship to the UK. Customs and handling charge was £14.55.
Everything was in the pack and it's all assembled and working now :)
