Hey everyone!
Today, we’re kicking off a new shipping method test in European Union countries, so we can better evaluate how we can improve this experience for members located in these markets.
Select audio products will be available to ship from a warehouse in Europe with delivery expected within 5 business days. Most will arrive at your door with no post-office pickup, though some exclusions apply. All prices are inclusive of VAT.
Which products are included?
This is a test, so we’ve set this up to include a select handful of products with limited quantities. Here’s what we’ll have in store:
For more information, and to answer some questions you might have, see the full talk post.
We appreciate your support and welcome your feedback with this experience.
Good or bad, we want to hear it all so let us know what you think.
Thank you all for being a part of the Massdrop Community.
Thanks, The Massdrop Team
EDIT (4/3/2019):
We are now sold out of the product for this test. Whether you made a purchase or showed your enthusiasm in general, we thank you for your support! We’ll keep you posted on next steps.
DuncanI love that Massdrop is doing EU Exclusives! I would purchase a product for sure, if there was something i needed. Like the TR-X00 Purplehearts or the THX 789 AAA, or the Little Dot MKIII
DuncanPlease consider adding the Sennheiser HD 58X to your test, or just making it a regular if this test proves successful (hopefully!).
I'd be extremely interested for around $200, without the addition of customs.
B-e-nhmm, looks like you´re not thinking straight. Thats not a good option mate. If you do that you´ll pay 185usd +23% + custom taxes . It will be more expensive for sure
nppafonsoI did my math, in fact I already bought one. Paid 175 + 15 SH and paid no vat or customs. Must have slipped through the net, suppose I was lucky.
So the EU option is an insurance vs a gamble.
I prefer gambling :), I already won once
B-e-nI bought 58X from US drop all in they were £160.
Ive bought the 4XX from the EU drop, all in they are £163.
Any order I’ve ever made from the US I’ve had customs & VAT to pay, they never slip through for myself so buying from the EU drop works out cheaper by roughly the cost of shipping if bought from the US drops.
I suspect the delivery time shall be faster once everything is set up properly, hopefully.
LisasonictowerI suppose the French customs are lax or they were on strike that day :)
I can see your point though, at least with the EU drop you know for sure how much you are going to pay
Duncanhow comes that all of a sudden, from the status “2 days left”, we went to “27 left”??
I mean, one of the big point of this EU special was also the short delivery...
when I did the payment few ours ago the estimated ship date on my transaction (he4xx) was the 8th of April. Now it shows 6th of may
