schwarzgrauProbably because the keyboards sell internationally anyways, while these are handmade in small quantities. If you have 500 orders to europe, it's always cheaper than if you have 4.
CiderusSounds kinda plausible. But as far as I know they ship every item by itself to you. It's not like they send all european orders as one shipment to Europe first.
CiderusKinda doubt this, unless they agree to a deal in this case you're describing with a private courrier. Still though a fixed price depending of the courrier's charges for a package that weighs low and it's size is insignificant, it boggles me how so the price can be shaped like that.
A quote from a massdrop representantive on this matter would be far more enlighting and much appreciated though.
FuzztapeI'm not going to explain how shipping works, but in laymans terms it's basically this; shipping stuff is easier when you're a huge company. Compare yourself to FedEx. For you it'd cost a whole bunch to send a big package overseas. For FedEx it costs literally pennies.
CiderusBut Massdrop isn't a huge company. I guess they just found some cheap deals for the shipping, that others like the vendor maybe don't know "Domestic and international orders will be shipped by the vendor."
