[GB] Sisi Artisan Box (GB is over. Shipping %100)

[shuangmu]

Hey everyone!  I am very happy to introduce a new artisan box!
This is my first GB. If there are any problems, you can PM me on discord.(Shuangmu #0381).
I am still learning English, so my response may be slow. But I will answer all questions directed to me. <3





Specifications:
-  The size of the box is 155*155*25MM.
-  The size of the acrylic is 150*150*4MM.
-  4 pads. Magnet adsorption. Pad height is 6mm. (not included in the picture)
-  Accessories: 8 screws (4x countersunk head screws 4x hand twist screws), lower left corner and upper right corner of the picture.
-  The total weight is 0.55 kg (without package And screw)
-  A total of 32 caps positions.

Color options:
black, gray, yellow, pink, Tiffany blue
I personally recommend black. I have tried many color boxes before, but black works best

Price: (not inclusive shipping fees)
- $70

The form will be open for 72 hours, which may be increased or shortened, depending on the number of responses and my work.

Production time: 40 days (might be completed early)

GB form ：https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PRZMOpSkHNCUz1ZYsnGw2IXGptTFAe6AwTsrOcM9h-A/edit

Delivery costs are undetermined at the current moment. The cost of delivery will be determined once the bulk product is produced, and the total weight of the box + packaging can be calculated. 
Expected: $25-$50
For friends in America, there may be some discounts based on logistics, as I will try to ship all the boxes to my Proxy. Once he receives all boxes, he will ship them out accordingly, but this decision isn't final.

Thank you!

[dugihk]

[txclack]

 

Def in for this GB.  Now to decide which color!

[Uleet]

[funkybeat7]

What is the tallest cap that can fit in this box?

[sleepy]

Looks great Shuangmu! Submitted the form for a pink one.

[shuangmu]

What is the tallest cap that can fit in this box?

The highest is Bruce

[mbsurfer]

I’m in! Looks great!

[fishinaspacesuit]

Yay!! I love the design! I'm in!

Since you're a big time artisan collector, I'm not gonna have any doubts on fit with artisans and other issues!

[derznation]

Entered! Love the design and color options!

[Slash Emperor]

I'm in! Gonna be excited to have my artisans sitting in such nice-looking boxes!

[Jaxxstatic]

Ooh! This is nice! I want one for sure.
Also every transaction I’ve ever had with Shuangmu was sooo smooth.
Great communication.
Impeccable packaging.
And fast shipping even from International. 

[yohanskee]

Joined! Black is my choice but tiffany is also tempting

[oscdawg]

Love the aesthetic! Great design!! Can't wait

Love the design of this case! The tiffany blue is really tempting but not sure it'll go with my mainly pink artisans, in for one nevertheless

[Helldrop]

This is a must-have item. Good luck with the GB!

[ItsAllen]

Filled out a form

Please consider shipping all to the proxy! Would be amazing.

[farmisen]

I'd love to get in for two of these but can't do w/out  knowing what the shipping cost will be with some degree of confidence.

Is the box anodized aluminum?

[shuangmu]

Is the box anodized aluminum?

Yeah, sir

[AuthenticDanger]

What's it look like when it's empty? Do larger caps (like Shelthulhu) fit properly?

[foxmancore]

looks so good

What is the tallest cap that can fit in this box?

The highest is Bruce

Answer is above I think. If a Bruce fits, I would be sure a Shelthulhu would fit.

I believe it can, but I am sorry, I don't have Shellthulhu so I can't finish the test.

If anyone needs it, give me a PM and I will record it for you. Additional acrylic cover can be added 

[krey]

Can I check the screw thread size? (i.e. M3 or other sizes)

[shuangmu]

Hey. Thank you all for joining. The form is closed early. The invoice will be sent within 24 hours <3

[shuangmu]

All invoices have been completed, the first time to send so many invoices, there may be some mistakes. If you do not receive the invoice, or any other questions, please PM me. Thank you  <3

[mbsurfer]

And paid. Fingers crossed that you'll be able to use your proxy and help the shipping prices a bit for us CONUS people

[Slash Emperor]

Paid! Glad I got in when I did.

[derznation]

Paid! Even if shipping is a tad on the expensive side I think it's worth for this case! 

[pilotxj]

I'm in.  Looking forward to seeing it.

[shuangmu]

And paid. Fingers crossed that you'll be able to use your proxy and help the shipping prices a bit for us CONUS people

Yea I hope so. I'm just waiting for all the boxes to be produced, then I can calculate the total shipping fee towards USA. Afterwards I can calculate the shipping fee from my proxy's destination to yours. I'll try my best to reduce costs to offer everyone the best price available.<3

[snelltrail]

Paid! Excited to be able to display my artisans which aren't on boards! Much better than having them just sit in the bags they shipped in

[jaang]

Paid! Looking forward to getting this in the mail

Is tracking information provided once the package ships?

[shuangmu]

Paid! Looking forward to getting this in the mail

Yeah, there's tracking information. I may use sf transportation. Or send it to my American agent to use USPS.

When the box is finished. I will work on the shipping invoice.

[Distilled]

Very sad I missed this. Case looks amazing. Next time hopefully.

[vernonvee]

Any chance of doing another run for this?

Are there any updates to this?

[dangboy]

I'm in for a yellow sisi box, but I'll no longer need it as I'm downsizing pretty damn hard.

anybody want my spoterooni?

Recently it was China's Dragon Boat Festival. The factory is on holiday. So I haven't got any updates yet. I will contact the factory tomorrow. Get some updates. Thank you

[shuangmu]

HI, everyone. I contacted the factory today and made some progress updates. Most of the black has been completed. Other colors are due to some recent environmental issues in China. Anodization is delayed a lot. So there was some delay. Still not sure about the time. I will try to follow up and keep up to date.. I hope to complete all the production as soon as possible. thank you for waiting <3

Will the black cases ship before the others if they are all completed first? Or will all cases ship at the same time?

appreciate the updates, excited to see it in person.

[shuangmu]

HI, everyone. Sorry. During the inspection of the box, a large part of the anode problem was found. They can't meet my requirements. So I asked the factory to carry out the anode again. thank you for waiting

Appreciate you making this call! QC > Speed

[DuellM]

Any chance that there will be more rounds of this?

[shuangmu]

Any chance that there will be more rounds of this?

Probably after the first GB is complete. The second GB will be considered later. But not now

[shuangmu]

HI, everybody. It's just an update. The first batch of black boxes have been made. I have received it. But I am sorry that all acrylic covers have some defects. They're not obvious. But I can't accept it. So I have contacted another acrylic manufacturer. Make more acrylic cover again. It's a loss to me. But I want to make box as perfect as possible. This may take some time. I expect it to be finished by early July. Thank you for waiting<3


With regards to logistics: I have decided to use SF Express for all shipping. Although using an American proxy will lower costs, it is also slower and subjected to more risks as there are more parties involved in handling the delivery. As all boxes weigh more than 1KG, the delivery costs will be between 30-50$ depending on your location.

[shuangmu]

Some finished products of the gray box. I am very satisfied  <3

[mattp]

Thanks for the updates and all your hard work. Looking good! 

[EMC Labs]

Yikes! Just missed out, wish I got it.

[mbsurfer]

We appreciate you going through another acrylic manufacturer, and that you care so much about the work. I will happily wait longer for a better product.

me too. But sorry. . American agents will make my job easier and save some money. . But they are really only minor differences. So I decided to ship it myself. <3

[shuangmu]

Update 2019/7/12: After two anodization attempts, I am still not 100% satisfied with the coloring. As I do not want any further delays, I am offering everyone 3 options:


1. If they're your favorite color. You can stick to the original colors.

2. I am accepting any changes from their original order to Black or Grey, as those colors are easier to control;

3. I will offer full refunds.

（If you buy a box other than black and gray. Please give me a PM. Tell me your decision. Thank you）

Again I apologize for any inconvenience  this have caused, and will do everything to ensure a faster delivery time


All black and grey boxs have been created. I will start shipping invoices recently. The transportation will be completed by July 22.

   

BTW GAF logo. It was made with the consent of kudos. They are just for my own collection.No longer appear in sales. thank you-all  <3

[DuellM]

I wouldn't mind buying one of those cases with the flawed anodizing if you ever decided to sale them. I missed the initial sale and would really like to get one or to depending on the price you choose to sale them for.

[kronograf]

I have 1x Tiffany Blue and 1x Black on order - I'd be ok swapping the blue to Black in that case as well. Let me know if I need to drop you a PM or anything, thanks!

[tskiller]

Is it a color matching issue or the quality of the anno itself? The blue is still nice in the picture, but I can't tell if I'm supposed to be seeing flaws or not. If its just a color matching issue, I could still do blue, but if it's a quality issue, I'd be fine with black.

Not related to quality. I am just not satisfied with the color. ：）

I'd be fine with the current tiffany color, but also if its too hard, switching to black is no problem either. i dont want to cause trouble.

Got my grey sisi box today, very pleased with the packaging job. What size are the screws that hold the lid down? I'd like to re-thread one of the holes, it doesn't accept the screws easily. Here's a quick pic of my box stocked. Disclaimer: The garbo puss is a magnet

The countersunk screws are M3 x 8mm. The thumbscrews are about the same in length

Honestly not sure. I believe there was a checkbox on the form. Also just noticed that I replied to R1 thread so my mistake, the blindbox raffle was for R2 only.
