This company has definitley lost it's way and it's sad how they've "Drop-ped" their communities effectivley limiting their potential customer base. Sad, as a confirmed customer that has made purchases on this site. I can certainly say i will not recommend or make any further purchases with this company and here's why....Everything they sell you can find it cheaper or at similar a cost else where not only that, it'll ship faster too. Good luck selling your crunchy jeans, peace.

I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing any cool stuff in the Massdrop emails anymore. Now I know! One less email to read.

Just now seeing this - TBH, about 90% of my purchases were in the beauty community, so I'm pretty sad. :T On the other hand, I'm sure my bank account is happy, so.
ETA: Was there a specific reason to sunset Beauty? Just curious.

I'm not as wealthy as the rest of you seem. Hope schmoosing and cruising between purchases is cool.

How to kill a community?
Spend years building a trusted brand even going so far as to collaborate with some of the best names in various respected businesses to create lower cost, better versions of existing merchandise. Then RAISE prices and change your name to something stupid all the while making your web site harder to navigate and less friendly to use! That's Business 101! Yay!
I get the China tariffs. I don't get how that affects prices on something like the HD6XX? The more people buy the cheaper you should get them. Also I'm very glad I got my TH-X00 Mahogany and Ebony before they had Drop x Fostex printed on them. Because that's a negative. Drop? Really? Because my first thought is poo and I really REALLY hope you're going to stop labeling exclusives now.

Community Feedback: Interests Pages
[image]
Howdy everyone,
As you well know, we’ve gone through some big changes lately. One of those changes has been to the design and layout of the website. What you see today isn’t the final iteration/version of the site by any means, as we’re always fine-tuning things here and there. We also do a lot of listening and aim to make adjustments from both quantitative data and qualitative feedback from all of you, as we continue to improve the overall experience.
With all that being said, we want to jump into one particular area of the site: Interests. Most of you are probably aware this is where you find all the community content including general discussions, polls, and photos.
Here’s what the current landing page looks like for an Interest (i.e. Audiophile):

Testing Local Shipping in European Union - PART 2!
[image]
This is another test.
Hey everyone,
Great news! We’re ready to kick off the next phase of our local shipping test for the EU. See the talk post for the initial test here.
We’re now prepared to open up a larger collection of products to keep moving toward a more consistent and better experience in EU markets.
The products will be available to ship from our test warehouse in Europe with delivery expected within 5 business days to the majority of locations. Most will arrive at your door with no post office pickup, though some exclusions apply, depending on your address. All prices in this test have been adjusted to include VAT, shipping and handling, and will be in USD.
Quantities are limited so do not delay.
We’ve made a collection that includes the available products here:
https://drop.com/all-communities/drops/european-audiophile-collection
PLEASE NOTE: The products in this collection have been specifically set up for this shipping method.
These are:

Is Drop going under?
I seem to be getting a lot of clearance emails from Drop recently and now that they're actually selling many of their high end headphones at reduced prices along with emails saying that there are no future plans to restock (see https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/dpdjtb/psa_fostex_trx00s_on_dropcom_sorta_eol/)
Either they are planning some relaunch of their headphones (which I hope is the case) or they are clearing out stock in preparation for some liquidation. I see that their daily offerings have become stale and their removal of the different communities didn't really bode well for the company.
Thoughts?

Changes in Several Drop Communities and Interests
Hey everyone,
There are going to be some changes in the near future for several of our communities and we want to share the details with you as well as explain why we made these decisions.
We have recently been taking a fresh look at our offering, and thinking deeply about how we can deliver the best community experiences. We wanted to take a step back and really understand what’s working, and what we think needs to be improved
Through feedback from the community about the current user experience, and our own explorations, we’ve arrived at some changes we think are necessary to improve the experience for the majority of our members.
Starting today, we will begin to implement some of these changes by adjusting how you can find certain communities and products within our site, as well as merging a couple communities and sunsetting several others.
The short version:
We plan to improve discoverability on our site for the most active communities like Blades/EDC, Mech Keys...

Dante: Please introduce a new circle of hell for web designers!
Do modern web designers do ANY usability testing? Today I received an email "It's not bragging if it's true" soliciting pictures of a recent purchase (Planck Mechanical Keyboard Kit V6). This leads to a "pictures" section of the product page which surprisingly was empty. So I uploaded a couple of pictures. It prompted me to type a caption which I did. The pictures are published without the caption (even when clicked on to view full size) and with a procrustic truncation over which I get no control (that I can find). This is pointless and makes me look stupid, so I want to delete them, but I cannot find any way to do that either!

No mor kitchen and quilt/knitting communities?
I just came by and had to see that there is no longer a cooking, quilting and knitting community available. Most of the other stuff is of little interest for me, so don't expect that I will stay if they stay cancelled.

What happened to the Cooking Community?
Did I miss an announcement? Just as I went on to finally pull the trigger on a rice cooker I'm noticing the cooking community has disappeared! Anyone able to update me?

On the Verge of Deleting My Drop Account
This has been brewing for some time. I think I've finally reached the end with Drop.
Yes there is the occasional "good" deal that's worth considering, but these are becoming far too sparse and fleeting. And then there is the common issue of incomplete or even totally inaccurate information in the descriptions, wrong pictures, or basic pictures missing (like full shots of the rear of an audio component... duh!). And even when pointed out, no change ever seems to be made, as evidenced by drops that have been running for multiple years and still contain issues commented on the first time around.
What broke this camel's back? The great (sic) deals available in the first ever Drop Warehouse "Sale." First item I checked, the Kyocera 12oz Travel Mug for nearly $30 shipped... which I believe is even more than when it originally dropped (pretty sure there was free shipping). Like I did before, I'll instead order another from Amazon for just $20.
For me, it has simply become a waste of...

“What about products I’ve purchased in those communities?” Any product you’ve joined to purchase will run its course, even if it’s set to go past the sunset date. Can we finally have a _______ community?! Right now, we’re focused on these particular changes with the communities we have, but we do we want to expand and open up to new communities in the future. I loved those communities, will they ever come back? They very well could. As we continue to grow and make changes, we’ll always be seizing opportunities to open up to more communities. We’ll always keep you involved, up to date and aware of those changes. If any issues arise during this transition, you are more than welcome to contact our support team (https://www.massdrop.com/support). We’re planning for everything to be as smooth as possible of course, but if anything arises, you can submit a ticket and we’ll help you right away. As far as any questions, comments, or feedback you might have, feel free to join the discussion below. We take your thoughts to heart and welcome anything you have to say. Thanks for joining us on this journey and being a part of the community.
