Welcome to Gekhack!
It will ship soon, I wouldn't worry about it too much. AG is very reliable.

Did you use EMS for international shipping? If so, take the tracking number and use it here: http://usps.ems-tracking.net/

I ordered mine Sunday morning and got it Saturday (should have got it Friday but missed the delivery). You're going to need someone to sign at the door.

Where do you get the tracking number?

Been 2 days so far, and my delivery status says "stocking in the" (translated) or "備貨中" still.

Does the tracking number appear in that spot once they finish preparing the stock? (Which is what i hope the above says, and not waiting for stock).

I ordered 2 filco 104k keyboards; a brown and a blue, and it ended up being $281AUD (not including PayPal fees, which haven't shown up yet).

Yah ... it's par for the course looking at older posts and in my experience.

If they don't ship it within a couple of days or so, just shoot them a message using their system (english is fine). Once it does ship, EMS is faaast. Like within a week.

Yes it is, I've been using regular rubber membrane keyboards all my life and got tired of them.

which type did you order? tenkeyless? browns? blues?

My first mechanical keyboard is a Filco Majestouch tenkeyless Blue and I love it. I think you will love it to. It's really something else compared to rubber membranes. I honestly never knew a keyboard could make this much of a difference.

Let us know how you like it when you get it.
