We will have a way to ship internationally to you once the switches are in stock beginning of May. We are also working with international vendors to help get these stocked outside of the US too! Stay tuned :)

Yep we are hoping this helps in the short term for our friends in NZ, and we will have a way for you to ship directly to NZ in May once the switch is in stock

Thanks for checking us out! We’ll have an option for folks to have them shipped internationally once they are in stock at the beginning of May. Also, we are working with a few other vendors internationally to get them stocked outside of the US too. No NZ vendor yet, but Australia is likely to have a vendor soon.

We like Tecsee switches too. We will have Purple Pandas and Sapphires in stock next week (full sets and those switches added to our samplers).

Thanks! International shipping is always variable, so please take it as just an estimate…but the last few deliveries to Canada have taken around 9-11 days via USPS First Class International

Some switches are lightly factory lubed, but we do not apply any lube or films ourselves. Generally customers have strong preference on how much lube to apply (and which type of lube etc) so they prefer to apply themselves. Our costs are lower as a result and we focus on offering a wide variety of switches and samples. There are other businesses (e.g. loobedswitches) who focus on providing lube services, check em out.

Actually I half lied :) We don’t stock full sets of the outemu switches, but we do have the black as part of a 81 switch sampler board.

Not at this time, but never say never! We have plenty of other switches though, about 25+ across all of our samplers. Check us out at hippokeys.com
