Can't find the U.S. store for The Keyboard Company. Did they close it?

Okay. So I think The Keyboard Co renamed their store "The Keyboard Co UK." Which makes sense. Unfortunately, none of their products are eligible for "Amazon Prime" shipping. However, the shipping they offer is cheap and the prices are pretty good imo.

So, I put in an order for a white MJ2 TKL. Plus shipping, I paid $119. I think that's a good price. Unfortunately, it'll be a bit of a wait for it. Estimated delivery is January 10th.

Why not buy a keyboard from a local vendor?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

They've added quite a few more boards in the last week.

Diatec probably got tired of all the emails saying "Keyboard Co isn't doing their job in keeping Amazon well stocked.  Going to buy a QFR/Leopold/WASD instead 'k thx bye!"

I wish they would turn in their badge and let MechanicalKeyboards.com take over the US distribution rights.

I just wish the Keyboard Co. would also sell to non-USA countries from its US Amazon store.

Swiss Post has draconian customs processing fees, which Amazon circumvents by performing its own customs clearance. So it would save me a lot of money...
