Hey all, it seems that we (I) made a clerical error and the SF and Phoenix drops were swapped at some point. If you have been struggling to find a board that should have been there, I am terribly sorry for the mistake. The list in the OP has been updated to reflect this.
This does mean that drops which were thought to be taken and crossed off are actually available to be claimed - please check the list above for current status.

Phoenix 1 sure seemed to not be there. Briefly stopped at the trailhead where the coordinates are and looked around but didn't find anything. There are no parking signs and a construction project further up the trail, so just left after walking around the area for a few minutes. The public trails are accessible to foot traffic, but the road to the trailhead is gated off. The parking lot where the coordinates lead also has no parking signs everywhere. It's a tough spot because if you deviate too far from the trailhead you're likely to end up in someone's backyard, too.

There was a mistake made at some point during our tracking and updating of the caches. I think this was my fault, and I'm really sorry for all the trouble and hassle it caused you and any others. :( The silver lining is that I think the other Phoenix and SF drops are is still there, if you're feeling daring enough to give them a shot.

HoffmanMysterUnfortunately the other drop is just too far. I was surprised to see the drop in the east valley still unclaimed when I finished work for the day, so ran over there. That one is only about 15 minutes from my part of the valley. The one over on the west side is about a 30 minute drive with traffic now that I'm home. Someone else will get it.

We're at the SF#1 coords, but don't see anything. Claimed or am I not looking hard enough? Not sure how precise the coords are!

Gineton2It looks like they screwed up and marked the wrong coordinates as claimed for SF and Phoenix. I refreshed after pointing out that 1 seemed gone in Phoenix and the claimed geocaches for both cities were swapped.

Huge shout out to @storyboardtech for managing to leave the two Chicago caches at the actual desk Tolkien used to write his classic books.

Will the LotR designs ever make it onto Cherry profile keycaps? I can't help but imagine Drop would sell so much more of them if they were.

How do I stop renewal of keyboard club?
Hi there, I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically. I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it. Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ? TIA Mauringhio

I miss Massdrop
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?

Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?

Anybody know how much we have to pay in Europe when buying stuff from Drop?
I'd like to buy the Sennheiser 6xx but I have no idea how much is going to be after adding delivery and custom fees. Does anyone know? I live in Spain.

USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)
