[GB] GMK RGBYK - shipped, received, over.

[njbair]

According to that DT thread, it seems to me that if you send out PayPal invoices as "amount only" instead of as items, you should be safe from this kind of thing. Is that not the case?

[kingslenkds]

Looking forward to for so long, the result is for abortion? Why is that?

[kingslenkds]

I have just finished all of the refunds.  I rechecked everything, and everyone should be good.  If anyone has a discrepancy, please let me know.  I am going to contact PP tomorrow to get the fees sorted out.  Thank you everyone for your patience through all of this.

Have received, sorry for that event.

[luckyryan333]

Received the refund a while ago. Sigh. 
Definitely in again if there is a second chance.
 
Thanks a lot for all your efforts.

[CommonCurt]

Got my refund also. I'll definitely be interested when you decide to run it again.

[radio_killah]

Guys. It looks like Massdrop is going to be helping us out. I went and paid a visit to the Massdrop HQ today after work and had a chat with Kunal. Please stand by for more details as I hash them out.

RGBYK is going to happen.

I cannot insure that everything is going to be the same but I will say that the keys in the set will not be changed, no adding or subtracting keys.

Great about the keyset, a little hesitant about the prices. But hey: it can't change that much, can it?!  )

I would guess it depends on the number of orders we hit, with the same keys (inc yellow win keys) if we don't hit 400 again it'll definitely be more expensive.

[swornxin]

Got my refund earlier today. Much appreciated guys. I will be in on this if it happens on Massdrop too. Appreciate all the work that you put in.

EDIT: We should ask them about doing classic beige at the same time since it looks like it isn't hitting MOQ here alone.

[azhdar]

Got my refund, verified, convert rate was exactly the same as the invoice.

Wherever second attempt of RGBYK happens I'll put similar order in.

[tmk1207]

Got my refund.

Refund received. Sorry about your woes

Same, refund received and the money has been put aside for when this comes around again.

[vivalarevolución]

WEll, anyways, thanks for the efforts and the quick refunds.  Classy.

Regarding the financial lost you guys make during this event, how can one contribute for this matter?
A few of us has already proposed to cut down our refund, might as well open the option for people to do this

Don't combine this with the "classic beige" here or Massdrop.

Many people, including myself, purchased the GMK doubleshot beige set when it was on Originative. Was that a year or even 2 years ago? Regardless, many have it already.

And many people want one or the other, but not both. No reason to combine them just because they look nice together. If it doesn't reach MOQ, it doesnt.

Put it on Massdrop too by itself and it will sell. I many buy another set as a backup there, but I won't here due to the odd payment method.

They don't mean literally combining the set, just if one sets MOQ is achieved then the MOQ for another set is much lower, combining the order but not the set. So you can buy either both or neither I'm pretty sure atleast

[mbrown559]

Got my refund.  Unfortunate this happened though. Will be watching for it to hit MassDrop.

Yep thats the idea I had in mind

There was recently a very successful rgby set on sale on massdrop. Why don't you offer the white font option too? That would be very easy with the gmk moq.

[azhdar]

Specificly because it was run recently on MD, and because it's made to go along a black legends keyset.

We 're in here because we love black legends, bro.

I know.... But that may bring a little additional profit while keeping unaltered the value of the work done in selecting these keycaps :-)

They're also scoop only, no bars/nubs.

[LechnerDE]

Got the refund as well.

Let's hope it doesn't get considerably more expensive with Massdrop. Maybe they can include a yellow menu key as well

What sucks though is that us filthy Europeans are facing import fees as Massdrop won't declare it "20$".

I think that isn't so important as creating caps with black legends.

Is it relate color of legends? I don't understand your opinion

We don't need any contributions but I thank you for the nice gesture. I would just love it if people still supported the group buy on Massdrop. They are doing us a huge solid and are throwing out their normal keycap group buy rules for this one. I can't go into specifics but I will say that Massdrop has thus far been very accommodating.

Don't worry that wouldn't even be an option, that decision would need to be put up to Mr. Potek. That is his group buy, and although we are friends we are not in any way working together. The fact that our sets got run side by side was mere coincidence.

Got the refund as well.

This is what is most important to both Ghost and I and Massdrop. We understand there will be more labor costs and other taxes involved with this buy now that it is going through Massdrop. I wish I could do more for our international friends.. Really sorry about that guys.. But I am working with Massdrop to insure that the price point for the set stays as close as possible to the original price that we offered.

However the set with the windows keys will not be changed. The set is set in stone.

[Giorgio]

Massdrop is not evil. Just make sure that they specify how the keycaps will be shipped. A cardboard box is often used by for example coruskb (vortex). But maybe that a bag could be good enough.

It sucks, but I paid it for RGBW and CMYW the other month, I'll do the same for this! Massdrop might not be loved by all, but at the end of the day, if you want the set; you want the set.

[beltet]

Will support this even if it's on massdrop.

[swornxin]

I've never had a poor experience with Massdrop. Not that I have with other group buy organizers either, but even the customer service has been stellar from Massdrop when I have had to deal with them.

[gridMENSCH]

Massdrop shipping and value declaration will add another ~$40 to the cost of the set for me. Will make it more difficult to justify. Not that this is particularly relevant to anyone else; just something to think about.

[mathiasn]

Refund received.
Thanks for all the effort you put into this.
I'll try and re-board the Massdrop wagon train...

[vivalarevolución]

I've wondered why residents outside the USA don't like Massdrop.  I guess this explains why.  Also, Massdrop does a poor job of packing some items and endangers to damage during the shipping process.

[billnye]

Sorry to hear about this guys. Best of luck with Massdrop and getting this to go through .

[Tyr]

Personally to me as a European it feels silly to order GMK stuff through Massdrop. In that case I'm paying to have a German company ship stuff to the US where it will be shipped back to me at considerable cost,  after which I will have to pay extra VAT and import (!) duty on it. It's ridiculous.

Yeah that is why it is a little frustrating for us to have to use Massdrop since if we had done it ourselves we could have helped out our international supporters with those extra taxes. We are sorry that it came to this but would still appreciate your support if possible. Like I said before I am working on making this set as close to that previous price as possible.

In Italy I paid 30% on 40$. That's not much considering that vat is 20%. You are only paying 10% more than vat. If you buy directly from gmk you still would have to pay the vat, which is not paid when you export to the US. Please tell me if the math is wrong, which is not.

Big update coming soon. I will have ghost update the main page of the thread.  It is looking good guys.

[nickheller]

Glad this is still going to happen. Will be joining when re launched

Hey guys 

It is live. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/gmk-rgbyk-modifiers-pack-with-black-legends

Ghost will update the OP tomorrow.

Thanks for all the support!

[effectiveduck]

Awesome, how'd you manage to keep the price the same?

Glad to see you guys got it on MD.

Edit: Limited to 3 sets per user. Why is that?

[radio_killah]

I worked a little magic 

But for real, Kunal at Massdrop was a huge part of the success of this and I can't thank him enough for getting this set at the same price.

[radio_killah]

Great work! Will support this!

Edit: Limited to 3 sets per user. Why is that?

It is to allow for the flat rate shipping of 3 keycap sets per box. That part is really out of my control. My work around would to be to join the drop multiple times buying in bunches of 3 if you wanted to purchase more. OR you could just email massdrop support about it and they could easily help you out.
