Author Topic: [WAITING FOR SHIPMENT] Beeker row 4 key (Read 37225 times)

jellowiggler · « **on:** Tue, 20 March 2012, 17:26:50 »

ALL PAYMENTS ARE IN, KEYS IN MANUFACTURING!

March 24.
If SP won't manufacture the key for us, we will produce the key with Qtan. He has done keys for the community before.
This GROUP BUY IS ALIVE AND WELL.

March 28
We got over 50 confirmed orders tonight. So I have started hunting for concrete pricing. Qtan has offered to direct ship to the buyers for a small fee. This sounds great to me. It will get the keys to you faster and save money.

ORDER DEAD LINE: April 15 midnight.

PRICE drop at 75!

April 11
Price drop reached! Invoicing going out soon. Orders will be closed on midnight of the 15th!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it's safe to start ordering now that we have a test key done. It turned out awesome! SP did caution that they don't promise that the final will turn out exactly like this, but it looks great to me.

This is i3oilermaker's original laser'd version.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 45106[/ATTACH]

We will be going with white PBT. Profile is now KBC made row 4 (Esc and F keys) for Cherry MX switches.
The final key will have the image a bit to the left and slightly bigger if possible.

Here is the test key we had done at SP on white.

PRICING:

50 keys $5 / each <--- at least this many before order gets sent
75 keys $4.50 / each

THIS BUY WILL NOT END WITH LESS THAN 50 keys.

SHIPPNG

Shipping is $4, world wide. Direct to the buyer.

ORDERING:

Paypal payment only, US funds, to be sent as gift or you can add 3%+.50.
There will be NO material costs added to each order to cover bubble mailers, baggies, SP shipping to me,etc. It's covered in the shipping charge.

10 key max.

To order PM me the following:

subject: Beeker GB

quantity
name
paypal e-mail
full shipping address

As always I am not responsible for shipping damages.

Colours are purposely more saturated than normal. Their ink doesn't like subtle differences. We'll see how it turns out.

She said that they can't promise it will be this good. But it's a great sample. I'll get her to move it left a bit in the final. I think we should go for the colour one on white.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #34 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 17:27:06 »

Updated OP, with further info.

Continue ordering as normal. I have written their licensing dept for permission. Hopefully they will understand what we're doing isn't a commercial enterprise.

So if you are interested put your ordering in so if/when they give permission we'll be ready to go.

Thanks guys. Let's get this above 50 keys!

sth · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 17:30:43 »

I hate to be a drag but it doesn't matter if this group buy is not a commercial enterprise.
SP cannot make these and then sell them because that would constitute copyright infringement, which is on them, not us.

There is probably no easy way around this. Pretty much zero companies are going to be interested in risking litigation over a hobbyist product, especially one that provides them relatively little profit.

Good luck. I hope this does go through. But don't get your hopes up.

Elrobo · « **Reply #36 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 17:43:18 »

Well If it goes, I'm still interested so you can add me to the tally, not keeping my hope up because muppets are a disney property. But either way thank you for taking the time and effort to reach out to them jellowiggler.

CaiSter21 · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 17:59:53 »

yeah, i hate all the licensing crap thats involved with making keycaps.
thats why i choose imsto whenever i want some custom ones. :biggrin:

its how i got my reddit alien.

reaper · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 18:02:43 »

^ Well, how about we take this group buy to imsto then.. to see how much and also if we get any discount for ordering 50 or more...

jellowiggler · « **Reply #39 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 18:09:25 »

Yup. All we can do is try.

They may have a fan art policy or something. So the spirit and volume of what we are trying to do might matter.

All Melissa has to see is that we have permission. Then she'll do the run. So we just have to see what they say. I'll post up when I get it. It might be a while. Until them I encourage everyone to order as normal.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #51 on:** Mon, 26 March 2012, 13:22:23 »

I'll decide who to go with when we get $50 orders.

It will be about the same, but may include direct shipping instead of shipping to me, then the buyer.

17 keys until 50. Come on lads!

jellowiggler · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 29 March 2012, 01:05:38 »

OK folks, we have officially crossed the 50 key line!

I am talking with qtan to finalize pricing with direct shipping to the buyer from him, That way there will only be one shipping charge. So things will come faster and cost less! As far as I understand so far there is no initial setup fee either. So less money out of our pockets.

I'll leave the orders open for now. I'll set the deadline at April 15, midnight.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #69 on:** Thu, 29 March 2012, 08:45:26 »

The word from qtan is that shipping will be $4 world wide, direct to the buyer, including tracking.

If we get the order above 75, the price will drop to $4.50/key.

Cheap, direct shipping anywhere! Use the $10-15 I just saved you and buy more keys! :-)

That’s nice!! I guess SP won’t be seeing many single key Dye Sub orders from now on.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #75 on:** Thu, 29 March 2012, 16:05:26 »

OP updated with current info.

It will be hard for SP to compete with imsto and qtan. Dye sub pricing per key is similar, but SP charges $40 setup fees, and higher shipping. Qtan will also handle shipping directly to the buyers, then you don't pay shipping twice. Imsto had cheaper pricing per key, but the individual shipping that Qtan offers is a great service to us all. SP will have a hard time competing in dye sub novelty keys.

We will have to see how our Beeker key turns out. The only question that hasn't been answered is the quality. Melissa was willing to print our image on test keys to see if placement, size and colours were acceptable. I'm not sure if we can do that with Qtan. I'm resizing my vector for key size right now, so I'll see what he thinks.

The resized vector (key cap dimensions) has been sent to Qtan in the correct format. So we are just waiting for a confirmation that the key looks good.

The image on the SP test key was not horizontally centred. In person on a keyboard it is way off. So I asked if a test is possible to ensure placement and size.

Thanks to Greg Dron and RickyJ we have hit 75. So i will start sending out invoices as soon as I can.

The keys should be $4.50 US/key + $4 US shipping.

The image needs a bit of tweeking for qtan and final price verification, then we are good to go.

That’s too far to the left.

Image is stretched and too big for my liking but the latter isn’t that important.

I'll do an edit and send back to him.

Thanks for the feedback.

Everyone needs to check the order list. I may have missed orders due to forum roll backs during the weekend. If you ordered and aren't on the order list in the the OP let me know ASAP.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #108 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 14:06:05 »

Any updates on the edit?

jellowiggler · « **Reply #109 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 20:43:24 »

I've been laid up for a few days after having minor surgery . Things will be moving along now.

I need to submit the revised thinner image with something on it to help them centre it properly. I'll add hash marks or something.

Invoices this weekend!

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #110 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 21:16:49 »

Oh sh*t man feel better!

jellowiggler · « **Reply #111 on:** Tue, 24 April 2012, 02:34:30 »

Ok. Some posts got rolled back.

I'm waiting on qtan to get the art properly positioned on the keys. They keep stretching it or putting it off center.

So we are in a holding pattern while they figure it out.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #112 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 10:52:05 »

Any luck getting the aspect ratio correct?

jellowiggler · « **Reply #113 on:** Sat, 28 April 2012, 13:47:20 »

Ok guys, which do you prefer?

Left or right? Ignore if the image is centered or not. We have no control over that. He knows I want the nose horizontally centered.

Fat or thin. This is the final word on it. After I get a consensus, invoices go out and we get this thing moving. Sorry about the wait.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #114 on:** Sat, 28 April 2012, 13:48:46 »

I would say somewhere in between, but I had to pick, I would say right. Left looks like beeker got fat.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #115 on:** Sat, 28 April 2012, 13:59:33 »

You can vote middle too. I can easily do the image a bit wider. I want one word posts. Skinny, middle or fat. I want to get this done.

Ahlitah · « **Reply #116 on:** Sat, 28 April 2012, 14:19:23 »

I would say somewhere around the middle. The left is too fat, the right is too thin.

ryan92084 · « **Reply #117 on:** Sat, 28 April 2012, 14:51:11 »

middle as close to i3oilermaker's avatar as possible(erring on the side of skinny)

I sent Jellowiggler the original image for my key so hopefully we can use that as reference.

Let me know if you need me to send it again.

Zifle · « **Reply #119 on:** Sat, 28 April 2012, 15:26:54 »

Voting for middle as well.

msimon · « **Reply #146 on:** Wed, 02 May 2012, 06:46:42 »

I am sorry to be an ass and a twit, but i can no longer pay for these awesome keys.

Financially it has to go to more important things, im so sorry.

But im sure the leftovers will go quickly with nice profit.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #147 on:** Wed, 02 May 2012, 09:45:57 »

In the future, CANCEL BEFORE THE CLOSE AND ORDER PHASE OF A GB.
(msimon, you upped your order 4 times during the buy, then quit after order was completed. bad form.)

We are now at 69 keys. I need 75.

Here is the final prototype. 6 keys lads. Buy them to maintain the current price point.

Those last two invoices have been sent out.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #154 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 08:11:51 »

Do we know what the turn around time is for these? Hopefully faster than SP :biggrin:

jellowiggler · « **Reply #155 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 09:26:37 »

My best guess is a few weeks after final payment. The last two orders will get paid, then I pay qtan, and the keys get made and shipped direct to you. No extra trip to me for sorting!

newcs · « **Reply #159 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 12:31:21 »

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Is it possible to get one of these amazing looking key? It sounds like orders are all closed but maybe the gentleman who snapped the last 6 will let me have a couple.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #160 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 15:46:32 »

Sorry,

I've got to force this closed and get the order moving. Things drag on forever if we don't follow deadlines.

Qtan will have a few extras up on his store for mildly inflated prices later on.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #161 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 18:46:49 »

Payment sent. The wait begins!

Cheers gentlemen!

abc123asd · « **Reply #162 on:** Fri, 04 May 2012, 00:49:03 »

Sorry about the slow payment

jellowiggler · « **Reply #163 on:** Fri, 04 May 2012, 01:51:51 »

No worries. You weren't slow. Less than 24 hours!

abc123asd · « **Reply #164 on:** Fri, 04 May 2012, 02:23:00 »

Still pretty slow because I normally pay straight away

reaper · « **Reply #165 on:** Wed, 16 May 2012, 11:45:20 »

It's here! Straight from qtan. lol He uses a shipping service in Singapore and it came as a registered mail so you'll have to sign for it.

Zwi · « **Reply #166 on:** Wed, 16 May 2012, 11:51:14 »

jellowiggler · « **Reply #167 on:** Wed, 16 May 2012, 12:03:50 »

The keys are from Qtan, not imsto. Unless they are the same or working together on these....

Haha thanks for the correction. I always mix up those two. ><

jellowiggler · « **Reply #169 on:** Wed, 16 May 2012, 12:57:38 »

For everyone asking for extras:

There were 100 keys made. 76 were in the group buy. Qtan will have the remaining 24 for sale on his web and ebay store at an increased cost. Once those 24 are gone it is done.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #170 on:** Wed, 16 May 2012, 13:01:43 »
