[GB] SA Polyclear Important Announcement (Leadtime delays)

[UgloBuglo]

This is the first GB I join, so sorry if I ask something stupid here...
What is the process now that the GB is closed?
Will there be no more updates here until suddenly one day next year I get a shipment with my caps, or will we get some updates on when production have started and such?
I'm just curious how these things are usually handled :-)

It depends on the runner (some are more transparent than others), but ideally there should be updates based on specific milestones.

Updates will be given on final numbers, when they're in production when production is done and when they're being fulfilled.
That's the typical structure. I will give updates here and in discord when my server is finished.

Important Update - SA Polyclear's estimated fulfillment date is being moved to Q4 2022

After discussions with Signature Plastics, it has been determined that the prior-announced lead time of around 3 months after GB end is, unfortunately, unfeasible. The quote for a 3 month lead time was provided assuming a much smaller amount of units would be purchased , but due to the success of the Polyclear's GB means that estimate is no longer applicable. Sadly Signature Plastics did not communicate that the original lead time was contingent on order quantity and we failed to foresee that possibility. For this I take responsibility for the resulting situation.
Since the 3 month lead time was a large part of what was advertised we will be offering full refunds for anyone who no longer wishes to participate in the Polyclear GB, this is effective now until the end of this year. (11:59PM, Dec 31st)

If you wish to refund your order please contact your regional vendor and make a request, please be aware that refund policy differs between vendors.
If you purchased through me on NOESC and wish to refund your order please message me with your order number to support@noesc.co.uk.

Please accept my sincere apologies we appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions I will try and respond to them best I can in this thread.

Considering the hobby we are in I don't think you need to worry too much about announcing a greater lead time and I for one don't 'blame' you for this.  Happy to wait and I suspect most others will be as well.

totally understandable

Good on you for even offering a refund, not something most vendors would do. Anyone who has dealt with manus in the hobby knows how hard getting straight accurate answers can be.

congrats on the huge success. No big deal. A delay of few months is a common thing in keycap GBs anyway.
