Ocean Freight
Arrives to Canada via a ship. Takes 45-70 days in transit. This is the standard import method used in most keyboard / deskmat group buys. It's much cheaper than Air Express but takes much longer to arrive.
All units ordered via Ocean Freight are scheduled to ship out of Sam's Studio in Q3, 2023 and should arrive at Mech.land about 45-70 days later.
Air Express
Arrives to Canada via a cargo airplane, takes 7-15 days in transit. This import method is very expensive, as such some of the items brought over via Air Express have a markup added to cover the extra expenses
All units ordered via Air Express are scheduled to ship out of Sam's Studio around Q3, 2023 and are expected to arrive to us 7-15 days later.
IMPORTANT
You cannot combine Ocean Freight and Air Express items in the same order. Each individual order has to contain either all Ocean Freight or all Air Express items. This is because they arrive at different times
Please keep in mind the ETA is just our best guess according to the information provided by Sam's Studio. Unexpected issues and delays can happen at every stage of the process.
Combinations
You cannot add any in-stock items to your order as we cannot guarantee its availability when the group buy is ready to ship.
You cannot combine this group buy order with a previous order as we cannot hold on to an order until the other one arrives.
Modifications
You may modify your order until the group buy ends on May 20, 2023
Please send an email to help@mech.land from the email address associated with your order and list the changes you'd like to see made.
Cancellations
You may cancel your order and get a refund until the group buy ends on May 20, 2023

DISCLAIMER
Please keep in mind the delivery / production estimate is just our best guess according to the information provided by Sam's Studio. Unexpected issues and delays can happen at every stage of the process.
The renders are for reference only. Please check the actual photos, color reference image and color chips on this page for a more accurate representation of what the final colors will look like.
We've tried including as many photos of actual units to give you a sense of the final colors. The factory will try their best to match the color chips pictured in this page, but even then there may be slight variations between what you see here and what the final unit will look like.
QC DISCLAIMER
There may be tiny scratches or dents inside the keyboard case that are not visible when the keyboard is fully built. There may be tiny, slight blemishes in spots that are only seen in certain angles. These are normal and within the quality acceptance.
Xanniard stream coming soon.
