Title: [GB] GMK Screw-in Stabilisers Group Buy
Post by: Mechboards on Thu, 05 April 2018, 05:25:41
Hello all!

We're running a GB for GMK Screw-in Stabilisers (to also restock the store)

[attachimg=1]

£11.99 + postage = 1 Spacebar of your chosen size + 7 x 2u stabilisers. 60% Set for £3 less.

They will also come with washers to stop shorting!

Should ship end May as GMK are pretty quick at shipping stock. - Shipping worldwide

(Note, 7u wires are delayed until start of June.)

GB LINK (http://groupbuys.mechboards.co.uk/shop/gmk-screw-in-stabilisers/)

Thanks!

David

Do you have a pic of the washers by chance? Curious what they look like, does GMK provide them or are you sourcing them seperately?

Do you have a rough estimate of how much it would be to ship let's say 10 6.26u TKL kits to Brazil? I might have people here interested.

Are you able to lower the declared value of the items when shipping to Canada?

I'm not very familiar with GMK Stabs... How do they compare with others like genuine cherrys or Zeals?

I just ordered a set! :)

I'm curious, though... Would I be able to replace the stock Pok3r stabilizers with these? I think the Pok3r (non-backlit) uses plate-mount Cherry-style stabilizers. What do I need to get in order to replace them?

If the stabs in this GB do not serve my purpose, it's no problem. It'll be good to have them for future projects.

What shipping method should we pick if we are in the US? Any idea how much additional shipping would be for that?

These stabs are PCB mount so they can only be used in PCBs that support them. So you would only be able to replace plate mount stabs with other plate mount stabs on your Pok3r

These are Cherry, just that GMK sells them so it's easier to call them GMK since the source is verified as being good.

Glad you posted this, my next build is plate mount and i almost ordered without knowing.

I'm having trouble checking out with paypal atm, probably a temporary thing.
Will try again.

PM me if you're still having issues.

They are seen as the best option :)

They are £2.50 for US/CA shipping.

I contacted Mechboards two days ago and got the following reply:

We're just waiting on GMK to ship them out to us. They said they're
under a heavy work load at the moment which is causing a delay. Their
current estimate is mid June, which should be soon. Hopefully we can
have them within the next 7-10 days.

Also want to make sure this is seen:

Mechboards is moving office this month. Any orders made before the 12th of June will be packed and sent. Any orders after that will be delayed until we’re settled in, which may be 1-2 weeks. Thanks!

Probably won't overlap though.

Are you going to sell those screw-in stabs after the GB has been fulfilled?

Hey all - sorry for the delay!
GMK are only just getting round to sending us our order. So once it's received we'll go through all orders ASAP and get them out to you all!
Cheers for being patient.
