[loud_asian]

But if i understand the first post the payment process isn't complete.

the quantities have probably already been submitted

[Zero2Cool]

But without the money all is open or not?

You should write Mr. KK directly to ask him about your interest. Nothing can be resolved by arguing in the thread, that is mostly for updates on the GB's progress.

[Zero2Cool]

okay, thx

[kekkon]

Last few days was holiday for me, so I am not able to do any reply.

I am still waiting for reply after I submit the last email with list of error in last mockup, hopefully we can made payment ASAP.

Just sharing the latest revision from GMK.

Base: The DT logo has been corrected, the arrow keys will be corrected to ↑↓←→ .
AddOn: Added 2 diamond keys
Color Kits: No Changes
x-CMYW: I mistype Control as Alt in the last email, so the outcome...I kinda like this theme, maybe I will get some TU2 Alt made. The Alt will be corrected to N6 and Control to TU2.

We will get this made

[Prelim]

I honestly hope that the yellow N6 doesn't end in disappointment for everyone (it's very oranged IMHO)

[Zero2Cool]

[romevi]

Any updates on this?

[kekkon]

Hi everyone,

The invoice is finally here, but there are some huge impacts on this GB, I will post the details by tonight.

I am preparing for the initial payment to GMK to secure a slot. The impace is more than I initially thought, I will hold the payment for now.

If the impact may trigger majority to request for a refund, you may want to disclose the impact / changes first before paying GMK so that just in case you have enough funding for making the refund.
Hope everything will eventually work out.

Agreed on that statement. I'm curious as to why it's taking so long to pay for this one?

You'd better share the information ASAP. "Huge impacts" remark makes people wonder and get nervous.

[kekkon]

Hi everyone,

So I received the invoice by today, and there are 2 things that bring up my concern.

1) The shipping fees is more expensive than I thought, and more expensive than my another GB, Dolch Reborn, which is €100 more.

I have send an email to GMK asking for clarification, and will discuss with them to find a way to reduce the shipping cost.

2. The currency conversion between HKD and Euro hike since April.

JAN 2017; 1 EURO = 8.25 HKD
MAY 2017; 1 EURO = 8.51 HKD
(This is the Google rate, actual bank rate will be higher than this.)

This is what worried me most. Before I set the final price for this GB, I actually look at the past 6 months rate as reference and set that rate for this GB at 8.40. The GB met with a few obstacles, the keyset went through a few revision to make sure that everything is in perfect order, and then the GMK person in charge went for a 2 weeks holiday during the invoice stage, which further delay the GB to May.

This GB is now around HKD 10,000 short from the currency exchange, and this includes the mistake I made during the invoicing stage

You might be wondering, since I have set a higher rate, there should be enough money to get this GB moving forward.
Before the rate changes, the price was just able to cover for the Cost+Shipping+Utilities Fees (Bank charges for wire transfer, transportation fees for my friend to go HK and pickup the sets .

Seeing how the price for this GB is going to increase because of the rate changes, I am going to let the GB participants to decide if they wanna pull out or stay with the GB.

The new rate will be set at 8.70, I will send the new invoice out by tomorrow to collect the difference, together with a link to this update.

I hope you all understand the rationale of this, I will see if we still can get this GB going on at the end of the week when the new invoices go out and getting the feedback we need.

Thank you all for the support so far, and sorry that the GB has come to a state like this.

The rate difference that need to be collected.

Item		HKD		USD
Base		33.65		4.37
AddOn		16.45		2.14
Color		4.05		0.53

[ideus]

This is one of the group buys with best pricing, even after the adjustment due to the exchange rates affair. Please invoice me.

[autobot]

Thanks for clarification kekkon! I myself have no problem paying ~ $5 USD extra plus shipping 

I'm sure others would agree.

And thank you for going back to GMK seeing how to reduce cost! 

[IAmPyhrra]

Thanks for letting us know Kekkon, I agree, many of us would not mind to pay the extra fee.

[Jumie]

I'm still in.. thanks for the transparency kekkon

[menuhin]

Luckily that seems manageable.
Thanks Kekkon for the elaboration, although I still don't understand why here has to be transportation fees ("...for my friend to go HK and pickup the sets ...") can't GMK deliver to you directly?

I hope the fund collection will not delay the GB for too long.

[romevi]

You can invoice me too.

HongKong is free of tax, which mean we can save a lot compared to China(17% VAT) or Malaysia (6% VAT).

I will try my best to compile the Chronology of this GB since end of the March to date on why this GB took so long to get the invoice.

[kekkon]

Also, for those who request for refund, this will take a few days, probably next week before I can proceed with it since I have already withdraw most of the money to bank last week.

I will topup the paypal account and get the refund done.

[krispy]

Thanks for the update and all the work you're putting into this kekkon! I also have no problem paying the extra fee and updated conversion adjusted price.

Wouldn't it be better to offer the spots? I have read post of some individuals asking for the chance to join in.

Interesting.

In Forbes top 10 tax Havens, Singapore is in and Hong Kong is out. I wonder if Singapore can serve similar function, or Luxembourg or London. By the way, this is a clever move, your friend will appear to have done just some shopping in Hong Kong.

[iArson]

I'd be willing to purchase more if necessary if you lose enough to lose MOQ. I'll just end up unloading them for cost when I get them.

[wholypantalones]

No worries, whew! Invoice me as well.

[lee jeong woo]

If you can purchase  add-on kits
Please send us a revised invoice.

[airs]

The price increase isn't too bad and I understand the reason. Go ahead and invoice!

[LightningXI]

Yeah, I'll pay the difference when you update invoices.

I'm all good with a new invoice, $5 doesn't seem bad at all!

[duynguyenle]

Fair and reasonable explanation! Please invoice me for the difference and I will sort it as soon as I can. (Will the shipping fees be invoiced at the same time as well or will you leave that for later?)

Edit: I don't see anyone complaining about the price hike, but just to pre-empt any objections, Originative has just put on sale their own GMK Dolch GB, at the cost of $170 excluding shipping, so this will still be a lot cheaper!

That vendor's offering is over-priced. But, it is true that this GMK Icon Dolch Set has a great pricing.

May I know the exact white colour of the legends of dolch set on ordinary Dolch computer g80-1813?
The dolch set from originativeco use brightening white(WS1) whereas this gb use milky white(CP).


Anyway, I would pay the difference.

[YH YOON]

Can I send your money to your PayPal account now?

Will you give me an extra invoice?

Based on my Dolch Pac I'd say it's closer to creamy white than bright white

For those who wanna refund, please wait for a few days as there will be some times needed for the topup work, please don't dispute and PM me instead, I have already refund 3~4 people until now.

[Zero2Cool]
