    Vendor price & shipping method.
    Most vendors listed below have two methods of importing Zoom65 into their country before they can start shipping them out to customers.
    Ocean freight - Relatively cheap but takes anywhere from 45 to 90 days to arrive. This is how most keyboards in the industry get to the vendors.
    Air express - Arrives in 5 - 10 business days but it is very expensive, several times higher than ocean freight. This shipping method to vendors is becoming more common as of late.
    Each Zoom65 vendor may choose to use ocean freight, or air express or a mix of both to bring in their units. For air express shipments, please keep in mind vendors may add a small surcharge on top of the MSRP above to account for the higher shipping costs.
