Can we please get an update with time frames on when these will be finished and shipped? Sent you a PM as well.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

It takes just a couple of minutes to give us an update and he's been online many times since we've asked. Considering I was told CNC'ing would start the week after I paid (5 and a half weeks ago) I don't think it's unreasonable to be getting a little impatient.

I guess there might still be delays with the manufacturing process since it's the beginning of a new year and sounds like he has a lot on his plate with personal life stuff. But I get where you're coming from as well. Providing short updates every now and then seems like a better approach than ignoring one's own thread.

alixinhzai, I sent a few PMs regarding this.

I don't know if my order was already included in the batch that's with the manufacturer. If not could you please check your PMs and let me know. Or if it's possible for someone else to take my spot in the list of orders.

Thanks.

Is it possible for me to transfer ownership of the case and plate I ordered to someone else before this ships? Or would that be frowned upon? I received another keyboard as a gift over the holidays so I no longer have any use for these parts.

hey i never paid my invoice because I was waiting for the update on color samples.
I'm not sure if that happened but I still want this case.

If avtar has a case+plate I would love to force my colors on that and take it off his hands.

Please let me know about the pink/teal colors and avtars order and I'll probably chime in with some cash.
If they are the same as the original imgur pic of the wires I would like a pink case and teal plate.
I can either pay my invoice of 191.40 usd and we can cancel his payment, or I could work out a private payment and have the case shipped to me.

Both parties let me know!
Thanks.

Great  :-* because I just got my miami keycaps today and think it would look better with teal case and pink plate.
So final offer! Teal case and pink plate please, and I'll just have to live with that decision. [I might just have to buy two, will you be doing a second run?]

Would it be easier for you to simply change the address on his order to mine, and have us work out the payment privately?
Or do you want me to pay my invoice and you can refund his?
Is there an even better solution I missed? Let me know so we can make this final.

Better off sorting out money privately, no reason Ali should have to refund money.

Well I have an invoice in my paypal from him for the same thing. Should I just cancel that?
I'd really just like Alixinhzai to respond, so we can change the address and colors on the order and I can work out payment, private or not.

Sounds great. What is my deadline for color changing?

Anodising has already started on the TKL cases so I'd make payment asap if you want a chance of making color changes.

still have 1 week before I sent all to anodizing.

Yeah this terrifies me because of my payment options, doesn't look like I'll make it in time.

Hey taylordcraig, regarding payment options it's probably best if we do that between each other so not to add posts to this thread that won't be of interest to others participating in the groupbuy. Please check my PM.

Thanks.

Sounds great. What is my deadline for color changing? I can pay echeque now but it won't be processed until the 27-29. Else I can get a hold of a credit card for faster payment.

Hey I've sent you a PM with my proposed solution.
