Hi Everyone!
As some have noticed, it's finally shipping to me! I expect to receive it next week and begin packing orders immediately. Here's just one of the ways I've been preparing:
I've also been working on the shipping payment and tracking system. Within the next few days I'll post the first version to the
https://nantucket.clueboard.co/ website. If you still have your invoice email from last February your invoice URL will continue to work. If you do not have that don't panic! In the next few days you will receive an email with updates and a link to your order status page.
While reconciling payments I've discovered a few irregularities, and I'm having to change a couple things to make my accountant happy. In the end, they all work out in your favor.
First, I know you think you've paid for your set(s) but you haven't. You've merely paid a deposit for your set(s). This is an important distinction that allows me to save some people a few bucks.
Second, some people ended up under-paying their deposit due to a mistake I made calculating the price. The good news is that none of you owe any more for the set(s) themselves. The only money you'll be asked to pay is for shipping charges, same as everyone else. Effectively you lucked into a discount.
Third, some people ended up over-paying their deposit. This will reduce the balance of your shipping charges to make up for the overpayment.
Fourth, if you are in California your sales tax burden has been reduced. I originally calculated that as 10% because I didn't want to worry about where you live. My accountant has instead moved me to the method where we calculate sales tax based on where Clueboard is operating, so you only owe 8.75%. The additional 1.75% will be applied to your shipping costs.
Last, but certainly not least, I will be adding an optional Geekhack Donation field. If you'd like to make a donation to Geekhack at the same time you pay for your Nantucket Selectric order you may do so here. ~97% of the money donated here will go to Geekhack, with the rest going toward paypal/credit card fees.
Prepare to board, Ladies and Gentleman, we set sail soon.
