so was 45 with or without a deskpad? did anyone recieve cheaper shipping then that?

Given what Shuang said about shipping an artisan for $38, I’d assume $45 is w/o a deskmat.

Can confirm. I believe I have gotten a desk mat! The shipping for the case is $45.00, and then I was charged extra "shipping costs caused by random gift" which was $17.00.

Thank you Shuangmu!!!!

Paid the invoice for shipping. Man shipping price killed me, after buying the artisan box which was already pricey. Was hard to stomach the shipping cost. Dont get me wrong. I totally understand the price of shipping right now with the pandemic but still. I bought a keyboard in a gb and the shipping was 60. So you would assume the sisi being much smaller and lighter it would be a fraction of the cost. Oh well, its all paid now. Time to get excited for it to arrive.

I'm curious to see what you have for 60 and what is in the 50 package or if it is depending on where you are.

$60 is usually the person who buys 2 boxes. $50 may be Britain, Canada, or some countries. More expensive than shipping to the United States.:)

The free KWK Mats is about 50. It will appear on the invoice. There are more than 50 free sticker sets. It will not increase the ship price. So you won't see it on the invoice. Only when you receive the Box can you know if you have won it.

A protective cover is added to each Box. It is more convenient to carry it. No additional cost is required. Hope you like it. Also apologize for the high shipping costs. Because of avoid-19, and also because I don't often operate such large GB and shipping. So there are no good shipping options and shipping discounts.  For the GAF X TGR 910 V3 coming soon. I hope to find a good shipping company to handle it  <3

Wow, the carrying case is an awesome addition!!! Thanks Shuangmu!! This is perfect to carry to meetups. Sick. You're so caring for your projects.

I'm actually not sure if I got a mat in my invoice but if I understood it correctly, you meant that total cost of invoice is close to $50 if a mat is included?

In any case, I'm stoked! Also very very excited about 910 collab.

I think he was saying there were about 50 mats to go around. Shipping is $45 without the mat.

I’ve heard from people that got the mat and it’s on the invoice. I think it was an additional $17. Mine was $45 for just the case shipping to US.

The carrying case is a pleasant surprise. Thanks for adding that! <3

Is it possible to get a mat added to our shipping order?
I’m guessing that’s cheaper than shipping 2 packages instead of 1.

The mats are randomly given. That said, Shuang just announced on Instagram that he'll be holding a KWK mat GB soon.

Oh yeah I know, but I’m wondering if shipping would be cheaper if we bought a deskmat and had it shipped with the sisi.($17) I’m thinking shipping would be more expensive for the mat by itself if you get what I’m saying.

If the shipping for the mat costs as much as the mat, I’m not sure how much demand there would be?

As was mentioned earlier, 50 mats were made and given as part of the Sisi buy. If you weren't selected, then that's all the mats that are currently available. In other words, there's no more mats to go out.

I'm sure the mat GB will do fine, considering just recently the GAF mats were $50 shipped and they sold out just alright.

Hey guys, sorry for the late update. Now is the busiest time of the year for me due to the upcoming Chinese New Year.

There are some recently found covid-19 cases in the nearby city, so I couldn't physically reach to the factory for QC works. I asked the factory to ship some of the domestic orders for me to testify flaws of sisi box, issues in packing and shipping. Sadly we had found  some problems, there are some flaws on the sisi top case magnets area. I had immediately contacted factory for reproduction on new top cases .

However, due to CNY(statutory holiday for workers) and new covid cases it's hard for me to make prediction on shipping time atm. I believe the process of reproduction and shipping won't be long since everything has been working in the right direction. I have been working positively and contacting our factory frequently. I'm sincerely sorry for the delay. I'll post here later for any new updates.


                                                                           Love Artisan<3

Unlucky about the QC issues and delay but that's the way she goes. The wait will be worth it.

Hey guys, after multiple tests we have no choice but cancel all PC top cases. I was told by the factory (only to top cases) that they must peel the protection film off during the machining due to the cover material of our PC top case being transparent film. Without this protection film we cannot prevent scratches and defects happening during machining. To solve this problem, I changed our top case material from PC to imported acrylic, which is identical to the Sisi R1 sale. Now our factory has started shipping the boxes to me. I will start quality checking and packaging. Artisan Raffle Sale and first batch of box will be started and shipped real soon. Thank you for your patience.
