Sorry, I just did that for simplicity sake.  Maybe I should receive in CAD next time so I don't have to convert USD into CAD. :)
Ah, that explains it. Paid and the waiting period/excitement begins!

For those ordering PCBs and Plates only in US, you guys might want to combine orders because each shipment is going to be $40-44...

Also orders for these will be closed now.

No one in the USA minds the shipping cost? I'll give it another day before I invoice the PCBs only orders..

I mean I do mind but what are our options? Ship all the US orders to one person who's willing to post individual orders? Could do. I just don't know enough about postage to say if it would actually be cheaper.

I think you'll save about 15-18$ each.

There are 5 US orders and total weight would be 2.6 kg so 3 kg weight which is about $64. About $13 each split amongst the 5 orders.  About $14 to ship within the US?

I don't mind either way.  Not much more work for me but if no one else speaks up, I'll just go ahead and skip this.

If no one else minds, I would be happy to proxy those for us US dudes. Just let me know.
Also, I guess no one has backed out on the full buy ah?

You should message pacifist if he'll do it..

If it's you 4 only then it's $56 for shipping together so $14 each before domestic shipping costs.

I believe the flat rate game boxes are $17ish... I'll have to check to make sure, but it's some where around that. Might be cheaper to ship non flat rate too... I'll check all options before shipping for sure.

It's a very heavy keyboard kit.  Flat rate large boxes are rather thin and too narrow to put in enough padding.  I'd not risk that.  I'd recommend taller custom boxes and ordering pre-paid labels on-line at USPS.com (there's a discount for priority mail when paying on-line).  Should cost about that anyway, or potentially less depending on distance.

The keyboard with housing is heavy but the PCB and plate only?

Unless we hear from pacifist soon I'm inclined to forego the proxy shipping plan and take the hit from direct shipping charges.

Ah yes, the PCB+plate should certainly be fine!  Could ship those for around $10 per set via Priority Mail around the country (paying on-line).

Hmm - I can tell I'm horribly late for this GB - hence this post.

I have been unable to figure out if and where it might possible to buy a fully assembled Lightsaver V2 keyboard in a particular layout with say MX greens ? Outside of this GB I mean.

I'm sorry if this is a silly question that I should have been able to work out for myself  :-[

Inc.

Only way is finding someone selling in the classifieds when they received theirs or someone in South Korea.

Hi Elton if I would want to modify the layout slightly .. What is the last date for me to submit a revised layout ?

June 6. You can PM me the change or submit a new form.

Ah yes, the PCB+plate should certainly be fine!  Could ship those for around $10 per set via Priority Mail around the country (paying on-line).

3 would save very little.  Each plate is .2 kg and PCB is .15 and packaging is .69 kg

2.19 kg for all 3 orders, so about $59 for shipping.
