So, I got my shipping notice on August 1st, the day after I ordered it. Good, validates the "in stock and ships in 1 day" claim. However, as of this morning, August 5, the tracking number still goes to a USPS page that says "Your package is on its way to a USPS facility..." and there's no further information. So...has this actually shipped?
dramseyIt's in stock at a warehouse in China. It's been over a week and I'm still waiting.

fer.realPerhaps foolishly, I inferred from the "Note: This item is in stock and will ship within 1 business day." that it would, you know, arrive soon...
dramseyMe, too.

dramseyWelcome to massdrop cheap way of shipping my friend. Awful shipping service, they go through their own vendors to cut cost on their part. Usually takes 2 weeks to get anything

Bcart348 days after the "shipping notification"-- yes, the quotes are deliberate-- the USPS tracking number still shows "Pre-shipment". I don't mind the delay as much as the poor communication. If they'd said "This product ships from China and you will generally receive it within 2 weeks" or something like that, rather than the assertion that it's "in stock" and will ship "the next day", it would have been better.

dramseyYeah man, massdrop is mostly just a middle man and custom product producer (whatever I mean by that, lol) unless you buy things they actually produce in house. The shipping even took forever for my massdrop alt and holy pandas too though and those are both produced in house by massdrop. Just ordered rocketeer keyboard, let's see how long this one takes.... especially considering I paid over 260 for it also.

dramseyI love massdrop don't get me wrong but they seriously cheap out on shipping by going with their own third party shipping vendor instead of just doing usps or dhl or ups or fed ex. It's funny, I ordered from zeal the other day and I kid you not my order came the very next day and the shipping was by dhl and 100% free. I swear dhl is where it's at with shipping. Fastest I've ever gotten anything through online order

dramseyAugust 11, and still in "pre-shipment" phases according to the USPS tracking system. Sigh.

dramseyWell, although USPS still has no shipping updates past August 1, the keyboard arrived today, and I must say that it was worth the wait. The finish on my example is impeccable, and the feel is terrific. The copper base plate adds a nice touch of bling, and the included accessories are great. The braided USB cable is very nice, and my only complaint is that it's a little too short for me, and I'll have to use a USB extension cable (right now I simply have the keyboard plugged into a front USB port). Oh, yeah: it would be nice if the instructions for the FN key assignments noted which key is actually "FN". (second to the right of the space bar, if you're wondering).

dramseyMine showed that it shipped on August 4th, and I got it today, so 12 days. I, too, didn't realize that these were shipping from China. I got what looked like a USPS tracking number, and I do think that the USPS was involved, but the USPS tracking website never went beyond the pre-shipment notification. I'm not terribly disappointed that it took 12 days to ship from China, but I do think that Drop could have done a better job of setting the proper expectations. At any rate, it came today, and I took a couple hours to lube it up. I'm typing on it now, and I'm extremely pleased. I know that a lot of people were unhappy with the colors, and maybe it doesn't match the old render all that well, but I never had those expectations. As far as I'm concerned, it's great. I would recommend to a friend.
