If you order them from the Round 5 group buy.. They'll be sent from Germany. For the shipping cost you should ask in the Round 5 group buy thread. 7bit usually answers questions pretty quickly.

He ships globally for a flat rate, actually. Tracked and insured cost more for different places, as I recall.

I call the UPS to ask the cost form Germany to China. it is about 140 Eur damn it !

Why didn't you just ask in the Round 5 thread? I am sure 7bit would be able to answer your question since he is the one who will be shipping the keycaps.

I am also sure it's not going to cost 140 EUR!

EDIT: nvm, I just saw you asked in the R5 thread a few minutes ago.

Otherwise just place an order, see what the shipping cost will be in the email you will get, cancel again if it's too much.

The keycap "Round 5" group order is not an official project by the Deskthority club. It belongs only to 7bit.
He used to also take orders on Geekhack; I don't know if he does so still.

UPS is quite expensive in Europe, even within the same country.

True. But I did manage to send a 7kg typewriter from Britain to the USA with UPS for £30, using an agent.

£30 is sensible， if i sent 7kg package from US to China using an agnet, the cost will be 500CNY, about 80 dollar. And it will be 21days to go.

I think this thread needs a nice dose of demongolation. To off-topic, maybe?
