As it is most advantageous to order and deliver this (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,fullsize&pid=fc500rrabn) keyboard to Russia from elitekeyboards.com.
Since the direct delivery from elitekeyboards.com available via only UPS, DHL and FedEx but it would be too expensive, I think (by the way, I did not know how much shipping will cost, because I do not know from which country will be sent). Maybe I will get much more profitable through a friend who lives in countries where has delivery of elitekeyboards.com.
Tell me please more details on how elitekeyboards.com send their parcels, how are they packaged the keyboard, is it worth to pay more for safe packaging, and same questions. And your answers will help me greatly.

Get from KR and Ship to you.

This thread is out place. This is not a great finding, shall be in off topic

In Soviet Russia Keyboard Ships You (probably along the Road of Bones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M56_Kolyma_highway_%28Russia%29)).
Can't Elitekeyboards answer this question?
I asked elitekeyboards but they decided to remain silent.

And where do you think should be the topic?

I can't really think of another shipping method then postal or parcel service.
It is a bit far for hand-to-hand delivery.
One thing to look into though could be those websites which give you an us-address and forward it to you like eg. foreignshopper.com
I never tried that but it might be an option.

From what country they would send their parcels? If the United States, whether free delivery? If other countries from the list, how much will cost shipping?
-
As I said, I never used it and didn't really look into it. I just know about the existence and that it works.
Of course it is not free as you just get an us-address where the shop ships it to and the other company organizes the shipping to you. Just ask for a quote and see if it is cheaper then you get from EK.
These companies exist to help international customers to buy from us-webshops who dont ship worldwide and still be able to receive goods internationally.
But it might be a cheaper option?!

Like I said before in the OFF TOPIC AREA which is HERE (http://geekhack.org/forumdisplay.php?33-off-topic)

cactux is right. It is definitly not a great find....
off topic would fit this thread more.

Like qtan mentioned, I wonder if it would be cheaper to ship from European or Asian distributor? Perhaps try ordering from Iomania (http://iomania.co.kr) or check the Shopping Wiki (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Geekhack+WorldWide+Shopping+Links). Hmm, no entry for Russia?

I don't carry this keyboard, but I note if I ship if from china to Russia, it would be 22-30 dollar depend on the speed you need. I think I ship 3 order to Russia last month, everything is fine. Singapore Air mail worldwide is same price , with really good tracking, same as their EMS, I am very happy with Singapore Air mail, last order to Finland only take a week!
If you got it from TaiWan, is about 30/40 dollar shipping Air mail/EMS worldwide(2KG). HK Air mail is slower and less tracking information, but still works. Try them.

Not that the keyboard would care.
You could probably say the same for a lot of the keyboard users.

Wait, I only see three unless you're counting the one with her back turned. The one facing us on the right looks like she's down to party.

please stay on topic

The name "peda" with a girl tied up combines for a very disturbing image.
