Shipping
Shipping fee will be invoiced SEPARATELY by our US distributor ME from Vietnam after your order has been sorted, packaged and ready for shipping.

I will try to provide the most suitable shipping method that secure and the price is fair.



Notes

- Deadline for order is 14 February 2014.
- Order if ONLY you can pay the invoice within 2 days and don't have to use that money in the next 3-4 weeks. Your social life is the highest priority so if you have money problem please just save it. In case you paid for the invoice but want to be refunded before the deadline, there will be $5-$10 fine fee keeped of the amount of your order.
- You will receive two invoices. One, from me, for the key caps. The other one, from our distributor, for the shipping fee. The invoice for keycaps from me will be sent to everyone after you fill the Order form. And you will be charged for shipping fee when your order's ready to ship to you.
- We will prepare some replacements for the missing keys. Keep in mind that those kits has been ordered as pre-sorted and pre-packed kits, so any faulty or missing key is SP's mistake, not our distributor's. So please be patient while we trying to help resolving the problem with your keyset. If anything bad happens to the package while on shipping, we're sorry but can not do anything about it.
- Same as my previous GBs, there will be no extra set for sale after this GB get closed. So please put your order in before it's too late ;)
- I will send invoice through Paypal to everyone, so you need a verified Paypal account to receive, and to pay. Also please check the information carefully before submitting your order. There will be paypal fee added to the price.
- If you want to make changes to your order, please send me a PM: http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=6989.

I don't see why the pink " I love you " stays in the Grey MODs. It is acturally pink!

If I want a 87 layout ,I have to buy at least 3 KIT? It just cost too much.

And what about the price with more orders?

Man I don't like the way these kits are split at all.  A complete layout requires a minimum of 3 kits, 42+48+30 = $120, and I end up with a pile of keys I won't use.

this too.
the gray mod kit is the only way to get the awesome looking LOVE and HOME caps....
I'm a huge fan of the original Valetines set, I dont mind spending money on it, BUT THAT LEGEND.
deal breaker I'm afraid.
I rather spend 200 on a good set than 50 on a set with legend I hate.

$120 for tenkeyless, $143 for a full size kit.

Kind of pricey for a double shot ABS set.  :(

Also as people mentioned, it's weird some of the pink keys are only on grey mod.

I do not think it is that pricey for a double shot ABS set.  There is a GMK group buy right now offering double shot ABS keys for more than this.

cute as **** but i don't think i can justify spending so much on a QWERTY-labelled set when i use Colemak.

i realize selling Colemak is unfeasible, so what's the chance of a blank letter key set?

I hope you can reconsider the mods. Still, 87 layout cost far too much.

At least, let us buy a 87 layout at 2 mods.

Hmm, I like the set but not so much that I spend 120$ plus international shipping for building a TKL set.

This is one of the sets I won't use that often, but would like to have in my collection. I'd be in if I could get a simple TKL set for ~70$ like in the Lily GB from techkeys.

Why don't you get a new pink color for this set? Custom ordering a new color is free so why not take the opportunity to get a better shade of pink than last time.

Good point! Worth discussing imho  :)

The prices will not stay still if people order more enough to reach the new price breaks. But it will if you guy just wait for the price to go down.

10% orders of the White base, Pink mod 01 and Grey mod 01 reached for the first day. 14% for the Pink mod 02 and 12% for the Grey mod 02 already. If things go well we could have better prices really soon.

PS: Yes the Numpad has 20% of the orders needed...

You should definitely note that in bold font in the first post!  Might motivate people who are considering buying but are not sure.  Something like "The following prices can become lower with more group buy participants."  (Or even post some price tiers).

I think you also need to add a "we are here" indicator like other GBs do.

People want to know how close they are to the next price tier. Right now it's too vague and I guess most people don't like to gamble and hope it will get cheaper.

I will tell you if we're close to a price break.

I believe there is a good reason Jil split the kits this way for this GB, but I agree with a lot previous posts. It would be better to split the keys in a traditional way so we won't end up getting a lot of caps we will never use. I will cross my fingers and watch for price drop.

Many people will do exactly this and therefore the price won't actually drop.

I still prefer open order counts and definite price tiers so people can judge for themselves how likely it is to hit lower prices.

Right now we don't know whether we are 5 or 50 orders away from better prices.

I prefer open order counts too and another big reason I choose not to jump in this GB at this point is that, I don't want to have my money stuck in this GB for too long. If there is a payment deadline and I can wait till the deadline to pay as other GB, I will put my order right now.

I think he's trying to do this the Feng way, after it was recommended in his previous / ongoing Commando SA-profile group buy, where a bunch of people didn't pay their invoices.  It's more secure for a group buy organizer to ask for money upfront, so you KNOW that you got X number of orders for sure.

When it comes to group buys if people think they want it they should order, and in the last week if it hasn't hit the tier they want then pull out.

It may not even be bad for people running group buys to have commitment levels where someone cay say "I'll take the Alpha and Mods at the 150 order tier, and numpad at the 75 tier" then if anything doesn't hit the tier they are comfortable buying at they are not considered participants. Almost like a pledge style group buy. This would help higher tiers be reached quicker than people having to check back on a thread and even forgetting to do so. It would also help with impulse buys because people could just pick the price they are happy with and commit to that and not have to check back again, if the tier is hit they get an invoice, if it doesn't hit the tier they are done.
