Yup, seems like it'll be shipping in early October, I'll be updating the shipping estimates and sending an email round to buyers soon!

I didn't get an email! Not a complaint, just a heads-up.

^ I didn't either.  But I purchased from the site after the GB.  Not sure if that was the reason.

Just purchased Base + Mods + Num + Nov. The lack of import taxes was definitely a factor in this totally-not-an-impulse buy :rolleyes:

Though I must say the Novelty set is a bit stale compared to the likes of Nantucket Selectric, but I do love me some more red! Basically a 16gbp enter key I guess  :))

so... I bought this set with the intention of doing a TKL plus a Num pad... but i'm looking at these 75% and 68 key layouts and I really am thinking that is going to be the board for me. By any chance did anyone purchase additional non-standard kits they'd be willing to sell?

DSA is uniform profile so chances are you will be able to fit your board just fine, unless there's any specific keys missing? If you leave a picture or KLE layout of the board you're trying to fit it might be better.

So the big things I'll need for the 68 key board i want (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/red-scarf-ii-68-key-custom-keyboard-kit) are a 1.75u shift key and 1u Ctrl, Alt, and Meta/Super keys. Below is the Layout for reference.

Completion pushed back from "9/30" to "early October", means shipping will be delayed a few days more?

Sorry! All sets sold out. If I have any spare at the end of shipping I might auction it with a few other goodies.

Shipping will start on the 7th of November without delay (unless of course there is some major delay :D )

I will have teaser images of the actual keycaps for you all by the end of the week. Production is pretty much done, SP is checking and packing.

These are actually in the UK, just in customs currently. I will need to be notified, pay the customs charge and then I'll get my hands on them. Just a little more patience required.

Of course if your patience has run out, refunds are still available!

It is unfortunate, but understandable, that you don't have control of the entire supply chain, so depend on others, and sometimes their estimates are not spot on.  But you've been communicative at every step of the way, and I have no trepidation that I won't receive it, so this has been a good buy for me.

Is it held by CCL? I have had more luck just ringing them directly and giving them the tracking reference number, they will then give you the payment ref and amounts to pay, then you can go to the website and pay it directly, their customs payment slips routinely take 1 week or more to get to me, and I am too impatient for that.

For those who didn't get the email:

DSA Royal Navy Shipping Update 3 - The Final Stretch!
The image above is an image of DSA Royal Navy in natural light. Unfortunately the nature of this email is to inform of a further delay to the shipping of the keysets.

Signature Plastics have sent all the keycaps to MechSupply as 6 seperate consignments, 3 of these cosignments have arrived and therefore real images of the keyset can be showcased. However, shipping cannot begin until the reamining 3 boxes arrive. These packages are being held currently in UK customs, pending review of paperwork which has been submitted. Therefore the exact date of shipping cannot be estimated due it depending on how fast customs processes the remaining packages. A rough estimation of 2 weeks from this date is appropriate.
Therefore the new estimated date for the start of shipping is 28th of November 2016. Apologies for the delay in shipping of this group-buy and for any inconvenience caused. I appreciate there have been numerous delays to this group-buy, however all have been out of the control of MechSupply. If you would like to cancel your order and receive a refund, this is still a possibility. Reply to this email if you have any questions or queries regarding the group-buy.

For those who have read this far, here is a non-cropped, higher resolution version of the banner images above.

A few more points for you all:

  • There will be no more delays, the keysets are 100% guaranteed to ship on or before the date stated on the product page (therefore they'll arrive in November for most customers)
  • It seems there will be a few sets left, these will be sold as special edition sets, with a few extra goodies/keys/bits thrown in
  • More high-res pics to come
