We're not affected by the ending of de minimis exemption by the US
Since the tariffs came into effect in May, 2025, our shipments to USA have been clearing customs under PAPS and not de minimis. As such, the recent ending of de minimis has no effect on our operations.
We ship all of our US orders via DDP (Delivered Duty Free), so you won't have to process any paperwork or pay any extra upon delivery. More details in the link.
This is a Group Buy (GB) that runs from August 19 to September 2, 2025. This is an unlimited group buy, the quantities are not limited.
All items are scheduled to finish production around November, 2025. Delivery time depends on import method of your choice. Please see the section titled "Delivery Estimates" below for more information.

Highlights
Marblano finish

Full Copper / Brass bottom case
For the ultimate acoustic experience, the DK1-60% features a full copper or brass bottom case. This substantial bottom case ensures a deep, rich sound profile, regardless of your choice of external weight. You can even choose from three different finishes for the brass option, allowing you to perfectly match your aesthetic.
Copper or Marblano Weight
The beautiful Marblano finish is also available on the Aluminum variant of the external weight. Alternately, you can choose to go with a Copper for maximum heft! You can buy additional Marblano, Copper or Brass weights in the add-ons page

Delivery Estimates
Title
Ocean Freight
Arrives to Canada via a ship. Takes 45-60 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 longer to arrive.
All units ordered via Ocean Freight are scheduled to ship out of Wuque Studio around November, 2025 and should arrive to us 45 to 60 days later.
Air Express
Arrives to Canada via a cargo airplane, takes 7-18 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 Wuque Studio around November, 2025 and should arrive to us 7 to 14 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 currently available to us. Unexpected issues and delays can happen at every stage of the process.
