How come each of the three Backspace keys has a different legend?

This will be addressed. Thank you for pointing that out! Stayed tuned for an update.

Hmmm no PayPal and I have my money in there, guess I'll order a bit later.

Sorry, no PayPal. Perhaps in the future but not likely during this GB.

I was disappointed in this also - hopefully it is added for future buys.

Oh maaan. You're killing me here.  Got no chance to organize a CC that quickly 

[kmba]

In.  Need a dark set in my life and this should look nice on my black 75%.

I feel the same
Gonna have to move some money around and get it this next week.

[TalkingTree]

If shipping through proxy (given that LeandreN is still up for that), how do we place our orders?

Same here...severely disappointing

[kawasaki161]

Waaait no PayPal? How long is this open? I hope I can get a credit card in time. Or what was that with LeandreN proxying, would he also do a money proxy?
Damn it it this is disappointing, I was really looking forward to this and now there is no PayPal option, which really sucks for international buyers.

I thought VISA debit cards were commonplace by now

In the US this is true, not so much in Germany. Cash is King, and for everything else there is wire transfer and PayPal... except this apparently.

We tried to make a proxy happen, and LeandreN was happy to help. Sadly, if we went that route we would have had to pay VAT twice. Thats no good for anyone. The shipping from USA to most place in Europe is only about $15 more than it is to ship domestic.

I am looking into a way to open up PayPal as a payment option. The problem is, we are selling the Essentials kit at a very low margin. Adding a PayPal option to the nearly doubles our transaction fees. At that point we are selling Essentials kit at a loss. We will both work dilligently to work out a solution to provide an option that works for everyone. Stay tuned.

[helpslipknotfranklins]

I wish the mods were green. Not enough contrast in the set for me.

[FoC_Tow]

Yesh pls! I needz de PayPal =)

I recommend moving this to a GB thread and locking this one since it is live.

The chinese proxy seems to have free international shipping! The base set price is 2.50 USD more though.

edit: it seems I cannot read. The international shipping form china is 12.90. Still 20 USD cheaper to Finland than form USA.

If its cheaper for you from China, go for it! Just bear in mind the lead time will be a little longer because we have to ship the sets to China and then they will ship from China to buyers. Also, the Taobao store is an authorized reseller of our product. If you buy from them any issues that may arise must be resolved through Taobao and not through TheKey.Company.

UPDATE: If you are outside of China or SE Asia you cannot purchase from our authorized reseller. I just verified with him that shipping rates will be higher than the flat rate posted on his site. If you are in Europe and order through Taobao your order may be cancelled.

[pomk]

"Place your order with our partner in China and save on shipping." Sure sounds like something other than an unauthorized re-seller.

What? Something other than an unauthorized reseller... so an authorized one like TKC said?

[TheKeyCompany]

I updated the site for clarity. Our friend in China is hosting a concurrent GB with us so that people abroad may save on shipping. If you purchase through Taobao, you handle your order through Taobao, and your order will ship to you from their warehouse.

If you are in Europe and order through Taobao your order may be cancelled. We are working on a flat rate shipping price or a proxy service to cut down EU shipping costs. Please stay tuned for updates. If you already placed an order and we find a way to lower the shipping cost you will be refunded the difference. So hold tight everyone.

[pomk]

Hmm..

Regarding the 'having to pay VAT twice', anyone in Europe now has to do that. The only method for circumventing this is to have a company in Europe make the GMK order, then that company can sell the USA (and China) orders forward. That way in Europe we would pay VAT only once, same as you in the USA. This is because no VAT is applied in B2B transactions in Europe. If the GMK packet is first sent to USA, then I'm not sure how that would go as I'm not familiar with your VAT system, but from your earlier comment I assume that double VAT would be applied.

Btw, would you be willing to bill me as a company, instead of a private customer?  )
I'm going to have to get a company going at some point and I wonder if such a thing is something that you would be willing to do.

I know PayPal fees are terrible and I understand that is an issue. Perhaps it could be a payment option with the added fees in the transaction? I'm not sure the exact amount, but perhaps add a 5%~ fee to any PayPal order?

From the PayPal ToS:

4.5 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.

Not really worth the risk of having funds frozen... I mean, I wouldn't report them, but is it worth the risk?

We can absolutely mail to a business. I am not sure how that will affect VAT however. I know just enough about VAT laws to be informed but not enough to advise you.
RE B2B: GMK will only ship to the country originating and paying for the order. So the only way around that is to place your own order with GMK. We cant even do a separate PO, we tried.

You asked, we listened. Paypal is now a payment option. No surcharges will be incurred.

I can not find a way to combine a Swedish set with base + intl. Is there a new render or is this what is offered? I was into this but now I don't know. Is the intl. for sure or will you look at MOQ?

I didn't even notice that the international kit changed. Previously it was possible to have swe/fi with just two alt-gr legends missing. Right now having incorrect legends, as well as missing some, is mandatory
I'd vote for having the <> key have just the two and remove the pipe.

[Chazmondo]

I thought the whole point of the international essentials by Wodan was to include the ISO essentials as part of the base set as it would only increase the cost of the whole kit by $16.50 and help with the international guys joining more group buys (thus the community) as seperate essentials kits never hit MOQ?

[poolside]

How come each of the three Backspace keys has a different legend?

This will be addressed. Thank you for pointing that out! Stayed tuned for an update.

I hope the fat crossed-arrow on the 1.5u R3 Backspace keycap won't get dropped. It goes along well with all the other icon mods IMO.

We will pick up the slack for the essentials kit but we need to sell at least 125 of them. We're not even close.

Base has almost hit MOQ.

What happened to the guy that said he'd buy 5 just to make it drop?

I'd buy some 2-3 sets, but I cannot justify a 282 USD keyset that has some wrong legends in it. I would tolerate missing tertiary legends on some keys, but having wrong ones is too much for my minor OCD.
The international kit pictured before the GB began was a lot better in this aspect. I was also hoping that the VAT debacle could somehow be handled for this GB. Right now it raises the price for me by 60-80 USD.

Essentials MOQ is 150. They tried to make it lower but the people in charge said no. We will pay for up to 25 of them out of pocket to help make it drop.

What is your issue with the legends? Did you voice your opinion early on in the IC?

Vat debacle? There is no way around it, end users have to pay Vat. If you know of a [legal] way to circumvent paying Vat drop me a PM.

If you have been unable to negotiate a lower MOQ for the international kit, why do you have it in a separate kit? Having its own slightly more ascetic ISO base set without ANSI/plank/whatever keys would be immensely cheaper.

[sungwon]

If we hit 250 MOQ, are there any price drop?
