Why is shipping so slow on in stock items?
What is the fedex smartpost so slow. Its ridiculous its 2019 and literally the slowest thing I've ever seen. I ordered something from the Japan at the same time and it got here faster than your package. It felt like it was delivered by horse carriage. I thought the horse had died and they had to raise one from birth and then continue on with the mission of delivery. Please for your shipping methods cause they really are terrible makes me rethink ordering from you guys again. You have great products but garbage shipping.

Drop's use of the cheapest option for shipping is a perfect example of "penny wise, pound foolish". I will no longer purchase their products simply due to the slow shipping.

Can not agree more. I had three items shipping from us from Drop, Schiit and JDS Lab. In a timely manner. Surprisingly, JDS Lab took only five days to reach my hand (Australia) from USA. Schiit took 7 days. You know what, After 10 days, my Drop Order is somewhere still on transit to Australia... Good products, very disappointing approach of courier selection

Why is the "layover" in Germany too long, this is the main cause of very long shipping times

I have the same experience in the Netherlands. The package arrived in Germany and was promptly sent to the Netherlands where it was handed off to the local carrier. I was just on the phone with the local carrier. They told me it's been at the airport for the last week, and that it will be "in the system" soon. So, when the DHL tracking number says it's at local distribution it most likely means that they don't have it anymore. That's why there are no updates.

turbertIf you look at the DHL tracking site on your phone, swipe down to the bottom and there may be a "Delivery by Postal Provider" option with a new tracking code. Mine doesn't work yet, because the package is still at the airport, but the point is that it's probably out of DHL's hands right now.

Same here. It has been at the "local distribution center" in Singapore since Jan 7th. No updates since. Once it has been handed over to my local postal service (Singpost), I'll have to contend with Singpost's abysmally slow local shipping. GROAN. This might very well be my last high-end purchase on Massdrop. OK I'll admit I am being a tad impatient but I have a vast number of shipping services that are much faster than this.
PS: Have to say, I AM NOT a fan of DHL anymore. Slow shipping, Buggy tracking updates. Very disappointing.

Yeah, just opened a complaint about the same issue. DHL handed it off to a local shipping provider on the 19th of December, no update since. The local shipping provider just confirmed to me on email that they cannot locate the package and that it is assumed lost. Not the best impression for my first purchase.

Customer rep just told me that they would send a replacement and work out the missing shipment with the carrier, so there's still hope! Good luck to you my man!

pfffft. Try dealing with DHL!. 3 of the 4 last shipments for me have just dissappeard before ever being moved by DHL. Massdrop says shipped DHL says 'we never got it - contact vendor'. several weeks of no status update on DHL and then massdrop sends replacement and same thing again. and DHL customer service is so bad - I think its some monkey that says contact the vendor when they pull the string. If not corrected i will not be buying anything more.

FedEx Smart post takes the least expensive trip possible to your address, least expensive can also be taken as "slowest possible".

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
