Mats will be shipped from our manufacturer in China and will be shipped to customers from your local vendor. If you are in NA, it will ship from us (ApexKeyboards) in Canada. If there is a high demand for a US proxy I'll ask Eniigma from Eniigma keyboards about it. But at the moment our Canada Post Tracked Packet USA will cost the same as domestic USPS (LA to NY) and other vendors ie Dixiemech. Links/Source Here https://imgur.com/a/q2G0Iap

these look great, I have far to many mats coming in, though that will not stop me from picking one of these up.

I'm actually more curious for an EU proxy? Regardless, the Day mat looks really really good, so unless shipping is awful, I'd probably get it either way.

You can check shipping by going to their site and testing it with a random deskmat.

Posted this on the Reddit post as well, not sure if this will make the final cut but oh well! I was thinking a Wavez color way with the bold lime green and dark bluish-greenish color as the sand, then still have a black-ish-grey backdrop with the moon perhaps staying the same or blending from either green.
