Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

There are two places that deal with customs charges afaik, royal mail directly or a company called CCL (Customs Charge Limited).
One thing to watch out for is that for some reason massdrop uses a random internal email address for customs notices and does not forward this on to the user, CCL in particular only sends an email about charges so unless you are manually keeping track of the parcel, you never get this notice and the parcel is returned or lost without you ever knowing.
I find tracking the parcel and calling CCL directly with the order number is the only way to resolve this.
If its royal mail who are dealing with the charges i normally get an actual letter, so i can pay them as normal.
