It probably is delayed due to the resin shortage. A lot of GMK sets are shipping when the resin arrives, regardless of order in the queue it seems.

According to Kono, it's in transit and will be shipped when it arrives.

This has an update from months ago. EU folks haven’t shown their sets. Where did it mention it was shipping?

Hold up. I just saw a set posted for sale on MM. Wonder which vendor received and shipped to customers already. C'mon Kono. Damn US vendors seem like the last to get keeb **** now with snail shipping issues.

Yeah, I saw someone with it on Discord. At least we know it's out in the wild.

Why is it that shoko is already selling for $300+ base kit? Where the heck is that giant load of stock that was purchased near the end of the group buy.

I already received Shoko R2. It has gone to customers in Canada.

There are extras planned for sale at Deskhero on Friday.

I bet they are waiting for the after market to pop harder, so they can up their extra prices. Guaranteed they'll only put a few out as well, so it sells out quick despite higher price. Then slowly put stock in and out. Dam it, I should have just ordered from daily clack and eat the shipping fee.

I dislike Kono as a vendor as much as any other person on Geekhack, but when have they ever done this?

I don't get the hate toward Kono, especially without having any knowledge. I agree that they should communicate better(which you could say about most of the vendors to be honest), but if the packages are stuck at shipment or at some port, what do you expect Kono to do? Also just to be clear, I am waiting my package from Kono.

DailyClack has their Shoko extras up for anyone that's interested.

Kono charges the highest pre order/extras prices and on top of that they ship via boat instead of air like the other vendors.  That's why their products take so much longer to deliver than other vendors.

If that answer is correct, then yeah, they should definitely get in line with what others are doing. That said, I feel like it might a little bit of community bias. For example regarding to prices, GMK Fuyu extras were $180 on Kono and GMK Nuclear Data extras were $185 on Omnitype, and GMK Nuclear Data has less keys. And I see similar pricing for GMK Prepress and GMK Ursa. Again, similarly NK sells all their extras for $185.
Also I am fairly sure I read port related stuff in other vendors' updates, but can't remember if it is regarding to keyboards or keycaps. From a quick check of the updates I can't find any mention to ports but also I am not finding any mention to air ship either. So, can't confirm either way, but that post doesn't provide any proofs either.

Edit: I just realized that I heard about ports on vendor discords. So if you go Omnitype or Cannonkeys discord and search for "port" you can see that they also seem to be using boats. Omnitype seem to get theirs to Savannah port and Cannonkeys to LA port.

also recently kono has been doing some egregious extras pricing, from my memory they sold some Firefly leftovers for $200+ for base, and most recently GMK Yugo (which is a TKL kit too!) for $220. I don't want to get too off topic though

They are planning on selling their GMK Ishtar extras for $220 as well. Sounds like they have upped their extra pricing for GMK across the board. I would expect them to sell Shoko extras for the same increased priced.

anyone knows if Kono has some sort of Discord server they can be reached at?
they're selling Shoko extras already, before even shipping my legit order placed in preorder phase last year.
and not answering my tickets, obviously.

Made an account to respond...I've received my shipping info from Kono and it appears some people in r/mk had received their shipment (though not sure if from Kono).

Have you checked junk email, etc? Or made sure you were in the right email (if you have multiple)?

Currently in the same boat. Not yet shipped out for me and ordered mine during the preorder phase a year + ago.

That is insane. I ordered Shoko R2 extras from DailyClack a couple weeks ago and just received it on Friday... Definitely reach out to Kono somehow. I've never ordered from them before but I've heard fulfillment usually takes forever.

Just to give a datapoint I guess; I pre-ordered mine from Kono 08/2020. I've received shipment update last week and they were delivered yesterday.

turns out they shipped my set without notifying me or updating the order status at all.
I received a text from UPS yesterday stating I had to pay import taxes for an incoming shipment from "ASSEMBLY". base kit showed up today.
hope y'all get your set asap, it's a beauty.

Just emailed support recently and they confirmed they are in fact, still working on shipping Shoko sets out. I have also received a shipment from Kono before with no email warning at all as well.

Seems like a number of people have gotten warped spacebars (at least in the sets from Kono). Is there going to be any coordinated process to deal with this or does everyone need to deal with it on their own?
