Didn't even consider a UK vendor to be honest, too late now I guess, I'll remember for R2

Curious why there are 2 1u Fn keys, but only 1 1u Alt key. You only ever need 1 1u Fn, but need 2 1u Alt keys for macOS 7u spacebar support.

Appreciate the massive base kit though, GLWGB!

Hey guys, the discord I don't check a whole lot, been real busy with work.

I'm not 100% sure what effect Mechs and Co dropping out will have on the GB, however MOQ (250) was met without M&C, I've already paid for my sets and have had no indication that there are any issues, Lead vendor was Daily Clack and I have faith in them.

Will follow up.

Mike’s got a new job, both him and Chris have whitewashed their linkedin pages.

The perk is that if you escalate your chargeback on your credit card…they’re not gonna respond. Should have a decent chance.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Regal | Colour matching complete
Post by: HaX on Thu, 13 July 2023, 11:26:20
Credit card company wont let me dispute charge because the estimated fulfillment date has not been reached" honestly I hate talking to customer support when crap like this happens.

Talked with a new rep today and told them about the unfolding events, including how the website has been down and you can't even check on anything, nor are they responding to customers. So now the chargeback has been initiated.

Post by: codecoffeecode on Mon, 31 July 2023, 14:52:05
@JonoColwell so now that Mechs & Co. have officially imploded, are you or another vendor planning on hosting a new group buy for US-based buyers? Is there enough time to add orders to what is already in the queue with GMK? You said MOQ was met without the US; do you know how many extras the other vendors will have?

I'm not suggesting that you have any obligation to the Mechs & Co. customers, but I'm curious to know what would be the easiest way for someone who went through Mechs & Co. to get this set. Is there a Discord with more up to date information?

I think most people are aware of the current situation: their website has been down for weeks. I have gotten my money back from my bank. @JonoColwell, I'm asking if are you able, and if there is time, to coordinate with another US-based vendor before GMK is slated to produce this set? Or if any extras have been purchased by the other vendors?

Now that Novelkeys has made the announcement that they are picking up a lot of slack of the other M & Co.'s GMK orders, any word if someone may be picking this up to finish the GB? NK verified they did not pick up Regal and they can't comment on other sets.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE some other vendor, please tell me you've picked this up and will complete the GB for us. This is the set I've always wanted and bought every kit. Not getting it at this point will make me very sad.

Currently there are no plans sadly to take up this set, It could happen but nothing has been confirmed. Since mech&co wasn't the lead vendor they have no data on it they have the data but have no initiative to do regal I guess. I feel that the only 2 vendors that could potentially do something was Geon or Daily Clack (The lead vendor) but don't expect anything to happen.

If you do really want this set, Extras may be you're only option. If you paid with a credit card, you could ask the card to chargeback siting goods not delivered as the period of time could allow you to chargeback and just buy extras when they come out (I have heard of vendors saving kits for people but don't expect that to happen)

Also provide evidence, such as their lack of communication (like send an email than wait a week for your evidence there as they probably won't respond) and the order not being delivered, and all the updates on gh/reddit. That could be enough to do a chargeback. Good luck with that and I'll update this if something changes.

Novelkeys sent out an email to preorder. Deadline is December 11.

The email went to my spam folder:

Hi there!

The product page for GMK CYL Regal is now available. The set is available for you at a discounted price. You must complete the checkout process no later than December 11th at 10pm Eastern. There will be no extensions or exceptions.

It is very important that you do not add any additional kits that you did not originally purchase. If you add more kits than what you purchased, your order will be cancelled and you will be banned from the product pages.

If you have any questions, feel free to submit a support email.

Thank you,
