A Message from our VP at Glorious: Improved European Shipping
Announcements
Jul 26 2024
As gamers, we all know that one of the best things about gaming is how you can disconnect from the real world, and get lost in another universe. But you know what else is so great about it? How it connects you with other gamers. Whether it’s a quick round of CS:GO with old buddies from your hometown or a Valorant all-nighter with virtual friends across the globe, gaming keeps us connected with others no matter where we are. It's a hobby that knows no boundaries.
When we started out in 2014, back when we only sold mousepads, we only dreamt of how much we’d grow as a brand. As we’ve expanded in scale and in reach, we’re here to help gamers stay connected through the games they love and the community they belong to. That’s why we’re very excited to announce some big improvements in our global offerings for our European friends.
As of July 23, 2024, we opened our new fulfillment center in Bremen, Germany. So, what does that mean for Glorious fans in Europe?
- - Much faster shipping times
- - Free shipping on orders over €49.99
- - No DDP import taxes
- - Pay in your local currency
- - More payment options
- - More gear in your language
Let’s break down each of these new perks.
Faster Shipping Times
For Germany and neighboring countries, shipping now takes just 2 days. That’s a huge cut down from the 7 to 10 days it used to take when orders were only fulfilled from the US. For other European countries, you can expect an average of 3-day shipping. Now you can get your gear faster and start gaming in no time!
Lower Shipping Cost
Orders over €49.99 now get FREE shipping! For orders under that amount, shipping costs have been greatly reduced. Because we’re now fulfilling orders from within Europe, you won’t have to pay DDP import taxes anymore. For example, shipping to Germany used to cost €22 for some orders. Now, those same orders will only pay €7 for shipping. That’s more money in your pocket and less time waiting for your gear!
Pay in Your Currency
We know currency exchange fees are a pain, so now you don’t have to worry about them. Whether you’re paying in euros, pounds, krona, or beyond, you’ll see exactly what you’re paying in your own currency. No need for conversions or hidden fees, just an easy checkout and peace of mind. Plus, soon we’ll have more local payment options for an even faster checkout experience. Stay tuned for that!
More Gear in Your Language
Our focus on connecting with our fans across continents extends to our product roadmap, too. When it comes to our keyboards and keycaps, we’re working on providing different language options on our ISO boards. Currently, many of our GPBT keycap sets support UK English, Spanish, German, Nordic languages— with more to come!
Plus, you can now switch to your language on our website, with more languages coming soon.
Staying Connected
At Glorious, we believe that every gamer deserves the best gear and the best experience, no matter where they are. With faster shipping, lower costs, and more convenient payment options, we’re making it easier than ever for you to stay connected and game on. We’re here to continue to push the boundaries in the gaming sphere with the community in mind.
Please note, there are some countries we are still not servicing (for now), but we’ll keep you posted as things change.
Keep gaming, stay connected, and as always, stay Glorious!

Luca Tanieli :
Wow nice news.
Please support italian key cap, Is a nightmare find any good looking.
Adrian:
These all sound like good news to me.
I hope this also implies that when there are special editions, they are also released in other language layouts, I felt a bit left behind with those key capsule set drops.
Dardan:
As a long time glorious fan, these are the greatest news I’ve heard all week, maybe all month
Robert:

Pascal Christian Thiede:
Thats are good news for me! Because the export fees etc. was a overkill for me.

I have allready 4 Glorious keyboards. Still working.
I have also 4-5 maces. Still working too.
I got somewhere a discount code for the shop. I will try if this is still working. I got it, because of quality issues and big problems with caseking.de. This company have just no existing support. But at this moment I cant find the discount code anymore. Because of the export fees and very high shipment costs I maybe lost it. Did not know you guys will open a own european shipment center here.
Best regards
Pascal
