if you are out of the US do not think to order from drop
one of the most poor experience
i ordered a headset in Mar 18 i paid 20$ for the shipping and they selected the worse shipping option that you can think of
my order left the warehouse after 10 days of the day i ordered and after one month my order is still in the same place, I send email to customer support and they said shipping wall take 3-6 weeks
today i complete 39 days and may order is still in the US in same place from Mar 30 and I don't know if I will get my order
in the end if you are out of the US please don't think of ordering from drop it's really stressful experience and really not worth it
you will find a better alternative that really respect their customers

Shoddy Customer Service and Unreliable Product
Customer Service SUCKS! I am new to the hobby of building keyboards. I bought my first barebones base from Drop.com, and as soon as I built my first keyboard, I was hooked! I found another keycap set that was very colorful and wanted a colorful base. Drop had the perfect keyboard base. I couldn't wait for it to arrive. Well, it came in a ripped box, with the extra parts (cords, tools) missing as well as screws missing. I contacted customer service via email because you can't find a phone number to save your life, and they said they would replace it with a new unit. I thought, okay, excellent customer service! I returned the base, and anxiously awaited my new unit. Guess what I received?! THE SAME FREAKING UNIT I SENT THEM IN THE SAME RIPPED BOX! Sorry to yell. There were no parts or cords; they packaged up what I returned and sent it back. I sent a strongly worded email about this. The thing is, I wanted the base! But I paid for a NEW base, not one that was beaten up and missing parts! I contacted them again. Their response? "Oopsie, you can return for a refund." I said, I want the base. Will you give me an open-box discount? They responded, "You can return the base for a refund or keep it." Really? Anyway, to make a VERY long story short, think twice about ordering from Drop because they don't honor good customer service, and they like to send used pieces for the new price. I have asked to escalate the matter, which may provide a resolution. No idea. Buyer beware!

Hi Tracy, we apologize for this experience. This is upsetting and shouldn't have happened. We do not ship out used or damaged items, so this is a bit unusual for us as well. The run has closed and we'll flag this with priority to get this investigation started and prevent this from occurring. We hope you give us another try. -AV Drop Support

No cancellation policy and complicated returns
I am using google translate to write this message, I am sorry for the quality of the English.
I am very dissatisfied with my latest purchase from drop.com. Your policies in place, although seemingly facilitating returns, they have the opposite effect.
• I asked to cancel the order even if it was an in-stock item before shipping, but they refused, loss of 15 USD in shipping.
• Then I asked if I could refuse the order before taking it at the post office, they refused saying that they wouldn’t accept it. I had to take the package then return it back to them. I had to pay a duty fee of 18$ cad.
• That meant that I also had to pay shipping back, another 25$ CAD.
In total, that means I would have lost $73 CAD in fees that could have been avoided to return an item worth $99.75 CAD.
All of this is making me think that these policies are put in place to reduce their return rates, force customers to keep items they do not want. Personally as a customer I do not adhere to this type of policy and my level of trust with drop.com is at its lowest.
Sincerely

Customer service is awful
Bought x2 keycap sets at $69 each. When shipping, the order was declared as $276 instead of $138 (x2 the ammount) and incurred hefty customs fees due to the error. Contacted customer service who were completely unhelpful and kept telling me the website warns you that you might pay customs fees. No acknowledgement of their error in listing the order value at double the price.
* Edit * beware of this companies responses to reviews, they are doing it for the benefit of others who will read these reviews, not to be helpful. They never accept any blame on their part and have an excuse ready. It's a badly run company that will do anything but refund or reimburse your money. The best you will get is a very small credit on your account which you are still forced to use on their site.

Hi Abbi, we apologize for this situation. All international orders are declared appropriately and the unit value is reported per package basis. It's possible the customs agency changed their fees or miscalculated, at which point we would recommend following up and providing them with your order receipt. As a thank you for your understanding, we've added a small credit to your Drop account.

Prepare for a ridiculous wait if you order from Drop
Item listed as in stock and ready for shipment. No order updates sent, so emailed customer support. After finding out the item wouldn't be shipped for 11 days after order. Asked to cancel, and they refused saying "the order had already been allocated". This likely means they ordered it from some knockoff outfit in China and they're waiting for it to be delivered. This is not what "in stock" means, and nobody wants to wait a month when a merchant claims "in stock". They respond to emails, but not in a helpful way.
In short, they're deceptive and disorganized. I'd rather have paid an extra few bucks from another seller.
Drop wrote a response saying they're having warehouse issues -- which is the same lie they've been giving for years (read the reviews from years prior). They're lying liars, through and through, and should not be trusted. Do yourself a favor and order product from a reputable merchant that doesn't make you wait weeks for your purchases while they have child laborers and peasants in China repack used/faulty items or cheaply made gray market knockoffs.

Hi Jeffrey, we apologize for any confusion. Our warehouse is experiencing a temporary delay due to a recent warehouse move. With physically getting inventory in order and updating inventory data in our systems, there's been a bit of a delay. If an item is listed in stock, it means it's available at the warehouse. We have pushed all in stock items' estimated ship date out by approximately ten days on the product pages. Our support team does their best to cancel an order if requested, but sometimes the order has already been locked for shipment. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this quickly.

They didn't even read my email.
I mean they literally didn't even read my email and sent me a response that made no sense... so I feel obligated to leave one star? Not sure what they expect...
No clue how to reply but here is more information: I emailed them saying that I have a $60 off $100 coupon and they have a BOGO sale I was going to buy $100 + $100 free. They do not allow stacking of these two coupons and they give free shipping over $100. This means I would have to make two separate orders and they would have to ship two separate things that THEY would be paying for. I am only asking to combine the orders so that THEY will pay less shipping. It costs the same for me either way.
Their response:
"While we can certainly understand everyone wanting to save as much as possible on orders, we do not allow stacking of coupons on purchases and it is limited to one per order. I understand this may be inconvenient, but that is how our checkout system is currently set up."
Which makes absolutely no sense if this person had actually read my email.
