Hello! Final update from me, just following up from the last post with more specifics. Check out WASD, their keyboards and accessories!

Just to confirm: prices below are estimates (based on an order of 10) for EU/UK buyers. More will be cheaper!

So you're not missing out, those outside of the EU will receive 10% off store prices on their order (not including shipping). EU buyers items will ship to me then forwarded whereas others will be shipped direct from WASD.

Board	Price
WASD V2 Barebones (no keycaps) ANSI/ISO 104-key	£73/$115/€103 (certain switch options may be higher, please refer to WASD website)
WASD V2 Barebones (no keycaps) ANSI/ISO 87-key TKL	£69/$108/€98 (certain switch options may be higher, please refer to WASD website)
CODE ANSI 104-Key MX Clears/Browns	£116/$182/€164
CODE ANSI 104-Key MX Greens	£121/$190/€171
CODE ANSI 87-Key TKL MX Clears/Browns	£111/$174/€157
CODE ANSI 87-Key TKL MX Greens	£116/$182/€164

There will be an additional £17/$27/€23 cost to ship throughout Europe (Royal Mail) or £8/$12.50/€11.50 throughout mainland UK (Collect+).

The IC will run until the end of this week (12th?). An order form will go live shortly after for around 10 days. Invoices will go out after that to be paid by the beginning of August to fall in-line with WASD's mid-August delivery.

It will be possible to add extras to your order. These can be offered at better prices, too! This includes custom key cap sets, o-rings, rests etc. Just ask!

I will just say that orders for ANSI boards to the UK/EU may be a possibility too, in order to up the numbers.

I really like your initiative!  For me it is still a bit too much money. I wish they had an EU warehouse or vendor. Good luck!

[pizza_is_a_lie]

Heh, thanks! 

Well, with their 10% discount which is guaranteed, that brings the price down to €183. This is with no real time or effort spent in to looking in to cheap means of sending the items through Europe besides visiting the Royal Mail website!

Updated with new exciting prices

Updated with early interest form!

Some shopping around would suggest that we can make a saving of 40% on the shipping price to the UK (saving another £4/$5/€5 each approx). I'll evaluate this tomorrow and also double-check all of the prices I've provided. I'll also check for cheaper options when it comes to forwarding from the UK.

Come Monday PM, I'll aim to get accurate shipping dimensions from WASD and confirm whether these prices are in the right ball park and whether WASD would allow for a third-party courier (for those interested, it's Transglobal Express).

Cheapest shipping I can find is as follows:

UK > UK: http://www.collectplus.co.uk/

• £4.89 (+£3 for £150 insurance, up to 2kg & 60x50x50cm)

UK > EU: http://www.postoffice.co.uk/

• £16.36 (up to £250 insurance, up to 2kg & LxWxH<90cm)
  

Both services will deliver to your door. Those weights and dimensions will definitely cover a board, at least. It should also allow some breathing room for if anybody wanted any add-ons with their order!

Big thank you to everyone who's responded so far! 14 responses with 11 from Europe already! Please, if you're interested in the slightest, get in touch. Ask me questions! Even if you're only after accessories from their store, let me know!

Great seeing more support for the UK mech community, good luck!

Thanks, man! The interest has been phenomenal. Can't wait to get my black and orange ISO PBT tai haos on one of them

Updated with provisional timeline and US/RoW opportunity

Guys,

Just a quick, disappointing update from me.

The courier for deliveries between the States and UK has fallen through. Thus, the WASD shipping quote is the cheapest I can currently find. This may see the prices mentioned rise by around $10.
