Title: Massdrop will be selling Tex 60% aluminum trays this week
Post by: intelli78 on Mon, 19 May 2014, 16:10:34
From a Massdrop employee in the comments section of the current acrylic drop (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/tex-acrylic-cnc-keyboard-case/):

I am planning on doing an Aluminum case next week and I do want to let everyone know this to help prevent a bit of buyer's remorse.

MechanicalKeyboards.com has also mentioned in their subforum that they are getting a new batch soon, so anyone who wants one will have to decide which company to support, and likely, whether a higher price at MK is worth faster shipment.

For me, I have to pay cali taxes even if they ship from a different state for MD. So MK is better for me

Out of curiosity, how much are CA taxes? I see people complaining about them all the time, especially regarding EK. And, do you have to pay them on Amazon purchases?

Its around 9%. Have to pay them on amazon too. But it especially makes buying from EK difficult, when something is put on sale but then you have to pay taxes that make it back to the non sale price >:D

I wonder if MD will have all the color options that get shipped to MK?  Usually drops are a little more limited in options.

Norwegian tax is 24%  :)) (unless I'm  confusing it with something else.. what I'm thinking of is equal to the british VAT)

Anyways, back to the thread.. I'd really like one of those cases.. they're beautiful (IMO). Might consider picking one up, even though I still haven't got my first mechanical yet!
