You can only add insurance / signature confirmation to your order until January 4th, 2022. After that this product will be made unavailable.
This option is completely optional, you do not have to purchase insurance coverage or signature confirmation.
We offer the industry standard Route shipping protection during checkout so a customer can add shipping insurance to their order if they choose to. Sometimes even if a customer chooses not to, we still add insurance to an order and bear the cost ourselves when we feel the need to.
Unfortunately we didn't offer this insurance option during the Mammoth group buy. Some of the Mammoth75 variants are very expensive so it's not possible for us to insure some of the Mammoth orders and bear the cost all by ourselves. The rates we're offering below are partially subsidized by us.
This product adds insurance coverage to your Mammoth package. Additionally you can also add signature confirmation to your shipment as well. You can choose to add both insurance and signature confirmation, just one of them or neither.
Insurance Coverage
If you paid for your Mammoth order in USD, you should purchase the "$100 US Dollars Coverage". If your Mammoth order was placed in CAD, you should purchase the "$100 CANADIAN Dollars Coverage"
Each quantity adds $100 USD or CAD coverage to your order. So for example if you'd like to add $800 CAD coverage to your Mammoth order placed in CAD, you should order 8x $100 CANADIAN Dollars Coverage.
You can choose to insure the entire amount of your order (round up to the nearest $100), or you can choose to insure just a part of it. In case of a lost or damaged package you'll receive the amount of coverage you purchased. Please keep in mind the insurer might require a police report among a few other documents and evidence.
Signature Confirmation
If you're located in Canada you should purchase "Signature Confirmation - Canada". If you're in the US you should purchase "Signature Confirmation - USA".
This is optional. You do not have to purchase signature confirmation.
Please email help@mech.land if you have any questions.
Group Buy
What is a group buy?
Keyboard.University has an excellent write up on group buys related to mechanical keyboards.
In short and (overly) simple terms, think of them as pre-orders. The process goes something like this:
- Vendors / proxies (like Mech.Land) collects orders and payments from customers (like you).
- The payments collected from customers get transferred to manufacturers.
- Manufacturer begins production. This process can take weeks to months. Our estimate is 45 - 60 days for OA Switches.
- Once production is complete, the manufacturer sends out the product to vendors / proxies
- Vendors / proxies ship out the product to customers.
When will my group buy order ship?
You are not ordering in-stock products that will ship within a few days. Group buys take time, and sometimes unexpected delays happen. It's very important to keep this in mind before you join a group buy.
Check the group buy product page to get an ETA of when the product is likely to ship.
Are group buy delivery date estimates 100% solid?
The estimates are just that, estimates. Best guesses. Sometimes unexpected things happen that causes a delay. In some rare cases products get delivered before the ETA.
Can I cancel my group buy order?
You can cancel your group buy order and get a refund until the group buy ends.
4% of the order total will be kept as processing fee to cover for the transaction costs.
Once a group buy ends there will be no refunds or cancellations.
I've moved since I placed the group buy order. How can I change my address?
Send an email to help@mech.land from the email address associated with your order, this way we'll know it really is you who's requesting the change.
The address can be changed but the recipient name will have to remain the same to prevent scalping. Your shipping fees may change depending on the new address, and you'll be billed for the difference.
When will I be billed?
Your payment method will be charged as soon as you place your order.
Orders & Cancellations
When will my order ship?
For in-stock items your order will ship within 1-3 business days, unless under extreme circumstances.
Check the updates page for an estimated ship date for group buy products.
Can I cancel my order?
You can cancel your group buy order and get a refund until the group buy ends.
4% of the order total will be kept as processing fee to cover for the transaction costs.
Once a group buy ends there will be no refunds or cancellations.
For in-stock items, you can cancel your order until it ships.
Can I return an item?
Sorry, there are no returns or refunds once you've received your order. If you receive an item in damaged / defective conditions contact us ASAP and we'll make it right.
Local Pickup
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes, if you are in Toronto, ON!

Shipping
What shipping method do you use to ship within Canada:
We use Canada Post for most of Ontario and Québec.
In addition to Canada Post, we use Stallion Express, a shipping third party to ship to all other provinces and territories. Their rates are far cheaper than Canada Post direct. They mostly use Canada Post, but they also other companies like UPS, Purolator etc. to ship.
You will receive full tracking info for all packages shipped, with the exception of Lettermail. Instead you will get a video confirmation of your Lettermail package being dropped off in the mailbox.
What shipping method do you use to ship to USA?
We use Stallion Express, which in turn uses USPS to ship to USA. They're a shipping third party based in Toronto. We drop off our US bound packages to Stallion Express, they drive these packages across the border to Niagara Falls NY and then ship them within the US using USPS.
Their fees are very affordable and that's why we can afford such competitive shipping rates to USA.
We also use UPS to ship to USA.
What shipping method do you use to ship to the rest of the world?
We can use PostNL tracked, APC tracked or UPS to ship worldwide. The international shipping price you see during checkout is just a best guess average. Your rate will be calculated manually and you'll be refunded if it ends up being less than what you paid. You'll be invoiced for additional amount if it ends up being higher, and you can cancel your order if you choose to do so in this case.
Can I be charged extra for shipping even after I've placed my order?
Shipping fees calculated during checkout are correct for 99% of the cases. However it's not possible to accurately estimate shipping fees to all the parts of the world. If you live in rural areas it might cost more to ship things out to you.
If that's the case and the shipping cost difference is significant, you will be contacted and asked to pay the difference. If you choose not to then your order will be cancelled and you will be refunded in full.
