originative says "These sets have been delayed. They will ship early November 1, 2017."
We'll see if that holds up!

Bunny just doesn't have any information on this buy. This should have been done a while ago, but people incorrectly assumed that both were the same buy.

Op is just sad his set took 5 years to happen. Most of the people calling the bs are gb peeps from lriginative.co. Reguardless it is nice to see the same pics and offerings coming to us.. I Cant wait for this set!! and cant wait to use green cases for my artisans!

Because that groupbuy is about SP Toxic, not JTK Toxic.

The point is, it was not and was never about this buy.It doesn't help clarify things when for example I asked about it and was told the other thread and Originative have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
JTK has been experiencing minor-medium delays, but appears like things have been moving recently. Photo studio was delayed two months but just shipped. BoW and PoW are in sorting and those sales weren't very long ago so I would expect toxic to be coming up in not too long.
Well here we are, November is here and still not a word.. This set has been in (shipping status for months now) I am about to give up on this one. Its almost like an SA GB all over again..

Its almost like an SA GB all over again..Two months is not a long time for a delay with group buys like this, you should always expect delays as the release schedule is a best case scenario prediction. Also there have been regular updates, I received a quick reply when I inquired about the shipment date as well. From the website and ctrlalt GB post it is shipping any day now.
I know you shouldn't have to hunt around for simple updates, but it's ready to ship (to Oco).

Ya'll some entitled mf'ers
Ya'll some entitled mf'ersYeah I never understand the impatience especially with small delays like this one. Group Buys are not for readily available already made products. They are being produced by, usually, a few or even one person. Delays are to be expected and I would rather wait for the product I paid for then have them rush something less than. I always have the attitude that these GB products are something that is worth the wait, I never plan on getting the item as soon as they predict.

They are relaying the information they are getting I am sure. If they could give detailed timeline they would, there's no reason they wouldn't. Almost every GB I have participated in has had some delay, some with zero information until the product was finally shipping. I am okay with this because I do my research and spend money with people who are trusted and have delivered before with no major disputes. If you don't want to wait and trust the GB runners then don't spend your money. Again it's all about attitude, these are products I don't need immediately and are worth the wait. So whenever they get to me is fine with me, I don't need updates step by step so I know the day they will ship. When I get a shipping notification then yay its coming.Ya'll some entitled mf'ersYa'll some entitled mf'ersYeah I never understand the impatience especially with small delays like this one.

Entitled has nothing to do with it.
This forum was barley made the 24th of October.. About 1.5 months after the ETA of this GB shipping date. Prior to this the only info was only to be found on Bunnys page for A completely different GB (which was years in the making With even more issues) But same Buy just different sources So it had valid info.
To get all hasty about people wanting updates for dates that keep getting pushed back further and further , due to deaths, holidays, inconstancy in keys, lost keys, more holidays and so forth, Should be ok. NO one here is demanding the set right now, More or less just wanting an actual time frame, without more "almost" "about"
"shipping" Has been the status for over a month now.. SO has it been shipped to the supplier or not. IS it "about" done or not. As a consumer being led around by the tail is not ok, Being told what is really going on is ok.. The perception of info being construed in a round about way is disheartening none the less. Then people want to talk **** for the simple questions being asked, like there is nothing wrong one bit. "it is to be expected' and that is the excuse so deal with it.
2 months and counting is more than a small delay considering the original time frame was only 3 months. They have nearly doubled the ETA for this set. Like I originally said, We will be lucky to see this before years end. Which would be fine if suppliers and producers would actually relay that info rather than every week give a very modest update that it is "almost" ready "Shipping soon"

What keyboard is that? Nice bezel!
I completed my Paypal refund dispute on the 11th and looking at the death-by-a-thousand-missed-promises and still lacking communication I have no regrets.

Your decision but there have been regular updates recently on originative and the keyset is about two weeks away.
I understand a PayPal refund dispute if this vendor and keyset had gone A-wall but there have just been delays, as is normal. Not nearly as delayed or noncommunication as many other group buys... Sounds like the main delay was from JTK for personal reasons and on the originative news blogs there have been more than enough updates as they received information. Also I've emailed their support twice and received a reply promptly that apologized and explained the situation.
The JTK Toxic also had some slight complications with the shipping, and they should be here around 2 weeks.
Web site is still accepting new orders and shows:
"These sets have been delayed. They will ship early November 1, 2017."
:/
I have given up waiting for this to be fulfilled and asked Originative for a refund.
You should probably just stay away from group buys altogether in the future. As they go, this one hasn't taken very long.

I realized that as well, although it's not the delay itself but the turnaround of comms that's getting to me. Other group buys I've joined also experienced delays, but the difference was whenever they release an updated shipping date, and when that's about to expire, they pre-empt queries with an update. I think that makes a great difference.
I have no problem with Originative's in-stock items, I've bought a lot from them. It's the quiet period with their group buys that I'm having problems with. It could also be because I recognize them as a legitimate business entity, not just as a community member doing GB's via good will.

I personally think your being a bit unfair! While I do 100% totally agree there communication at times straight up sucks. I do know that if you email them they are decent about responding back. Thats the thing for me is they will contact me back if I contact them. They won't allow me to be left hanging wondering whats going on. I mean thats what of the things I like about them. I do agree thought they need to update there communications better.

I agree this GB hasn't taken very long especially compared to others and there has been much more communication than some I've been a part of before. The sets sound like they are arriving immenently, silly to me to ask for a refund at this point but that's just how I look at it. Any GB I don't pay attention to estimates of delivery, when it ships it ships.

i just join group buys with the expectation of "i'll get it when i get it".
much less stressful that way.
In the past few weeks, I tried reaching out to them via email, this GH forum, and their blog comment system. Only after I mailed in requests for cancellation of my close to $1000 worth pending orders with them did I get a response explaining the delays. The response and update was all I needed, and I think it's what everyone else who participated in those group buys need as well.
sherry is a dude with a side business
Thanks for following up and we're terribly sorry for this delay. There's been a delay during the sorting process due to a family emergency on JTK's end. Now that it's ready to ship, we've encountered some issue with the shipping process. We're working to resolve that asap. It should be on the way to us in the coming weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,
Wendy
I suspected nothing has actually shipped yet, looks like I may have been correct. I brought this up in the GB thread that Bunny is running and got absolutely bombarded with hate and eventually threatened by a moderator (lol).
I don't understand why the people in charge of this GB aren't clear about the status of the product. Don't sugar coat it and tell me that "it's shipping" to try and ease the tension - I want to know what is actually happening; did it fall off the boat? Every update tries to make it sound like the sets are packed and currently in transit to their destination, but this couldn't possibly be true. It wouldn't be taking this long.
If you want to run group buys like a business and create a client base to keep doing these sorts of things, you need to take some initiative and get the details about the status of the shipment and update your customers accordingly.
Like I said, I don't care about how long it's going to take, just be straight with us.
I'm blown away by the lack of transparency and communication that seems to be perfectly acceptable for group buys. As complacent buyers, those of us with a "I'll get it when I get it" mentality enable GB organizers to continue half-assing customer service.
If I buy a 5 dollar bag of popcorn on amazon, I'll get packing and shipping confirmations all throughout its journey to my door, and I can check at any moment and see the last place that my bag of popcorn was, with an accurate estimate on its shipping time.
I'm not saying we should be getting our package within the specified time frame, delays happen, its fine. I just can't fathom why there aren't consistent updates for the packages. If something happens during shipping to delay the package, there should be an update almost immediately... What am I missing?

the 5 dollar bag of popcorn you buy on amazon already exists. it's not something where a request to create it will be made days or weeks after you pay for it. totally different scenario.
However, in this scenario I believe everyone has acknowledged that the manufacturing phase is complete. So not really all that different at this point.
People here seem to be acting like this is a situation where they let the ship date come and go without any updates. And I understand thinking that, I thought that as well, just because I'm used to updates for GBs being here on GeekHack. But The fact is, OCO has been giving updates for Toxic regularly over at http://www.kbdist.com/updates -- there hasn't been a lack of transparency, just a lack of presence on GeekHack, and an oversight that has now been remedied of not updating the ship date on the buy page.
As for concerns with them not responding to emails, I find that very odd, because they responded to mine within hours.However, in this scenario I believe everyone has acknowledged that the manufacturing phase is complete. So not really all that different at this point.
Shipping and sorting is still a thing though. OCO doesn't even have the sets yet. There's nothing they can do.

i have just messaged sherry, i said i was going to about a week ago but ive spent the last week in and out of the emergency room with my little one and it slipped my mind, once he replies i will ask him if he is ok with me updating this thread on his behalf, so i can put to rest the above the comments, and be a point of contact between you guys and JTKThe same BunnyLake who told us all to get out of the other JTK Toxic thread because the two group buys have nothing to do with each other? :)) :)) :)) Why do you do this to yourself :D

I wanted to point out this is more of that Toxic BS I talked about on Massdrop x Glimy DSA 2077 Custom Keycap Set.
This community its shocking it has lasted as long as it has. I mean originative is a company run by a couple of dudes part time from what i can tell. Its not there main source of income. They do it as a side income. While I understand they are a business. They are not amazon, Walmart, massdrop, are any other mega sized company that 1,000 of employee's.
The updates are sparse but then again. I think most group buys are least the ones I have seen are pretty much the same way. There not dropping updates ever 10mins are ever few hours.. are even day's typically they drop them when they have them. I understand o whelp they missed the deadline.. ya they did that's totally true but.. hmm you know what November had Thanksgiving and black Friday. Those are both semi busy holiday's for American's. I am sure the same goes for the staff of Originative. Perhaps they took time off with there family's.
Then when they got back cause they had a black Friday sale. They where busy filling those orders. Didn't have time to update the website with.. There on a boat some where in the ocean. Cause I would assume that much product would have to be shipped via boat. Once it did hit America it have to be unloaded from the boat which could take sometime then hit customs. Assuming that all the tracking was 100% accurate. Which lets be honest how often is postage tracking accurate. Then we take into account US customs. Which is government and doesn't work holiday's. That add's even more time that the package could potentially be out of the loop.
To top it off least there active part of the community and you can communicate with them thought email. I honestly wonder how much longer the community will last with such a bs toxic attitude toward's anything they find unfavorable. Special people who made there point.. 10 way's to Sunday and back again. We get your upset we get you don't think there communicating properly. Great.. you said your piece we don't need it shoved rammed and feed to us every time the wind blows. This case the squeaky wheel is accomplishing nothing because things can only move so fast.
What the squeaky wheel is doing is turning off future group buy coordinators. Who in there right mind would want to deal with this crap? I read people having to sell there cars cause things have gone south in a group buy. Look at bunnylake I don't know the entire story but from what peace together. He got pretty much screwed by someone and left with a co ran group buy that feel apart. There other horror stories out there.
Then on the other side of the coin there are people who might want to join a group buy. Remember MOQ have to be meet... that decides otherwise cause of fervious whining in a thread like this. Once again totally understand being upset but... its not really that far off the estimated time of arrival and it is a group buy. There a factor of it could take longer then planned special around the holiday's. I always factor in extra 3 months. Are until paypal protection is about to go out. Then I most likely ask for a refund and buy back in. Otherwise I would just split. I don't think Orginative would leave everyone hanging Though.. there always contacting them directly.
Anyone that wants to call me out are what have you saying I am wrong I don't understand blah blah. I be blunt and upfront. Don't care. The community can be down right toxic and this is another example of that in my opinion.
I'm really sorry about the lack of updates regarding this set. This set hasn't been shipped yet although the product has been finished production. They are all packed and ready to go. We just need one more step before they are shipped to us.
We are always willing to give refunds if this is taking too long for you. Just please let us know if you prefer that.
The delay is due to another Chinese issue that we are trying to solve, and it's just taking a little bit of time right now. I know I promised this set in August, but it just may take another few weeks or less. I'll update you guys as soon as the products start shipping to us.
I was only following still out of sheer curiosity to see how much longer this ends up taking but the general attitude of "hey it's a group buy it comes when it comes (if it comes)" and attacking anyone who dares expect to get what was advertised and what they paid for is a large part of the reason so many half-arsed group buys keep happening - because you keep letting people get away with it. And not just people doing it as a hobby or 'for the community' but doing it as a business. Anyway since I'm not even part of the buy any more I'm gonna leave it at that. </rant>
They are a legal business entity, though. Whether they run Oco part-time or not, they are liable to fulfill transactions. These are legal obligations. The keyboard enthusiast community is already forgiving as it is, willing to endure delays and let scratched up products slide even after paying hundreds of bucks.

Not to dig this further but this is THE main thing people don't understand regarding these "amateurs" and "part timers" - especially actual businesses like Originative, Keyclack, etc - they take it upon themselves to run these buys and deal within the community, if they can't deliver and do right by their CUSTOMERS (regardless of whether or not they are professionals) then they should not run anything. Period.
It may not be their main job but if they cannot keep the customers happy and dedicate enough time to the project to ensure everything goes as smoothly as it can then either a. do not run it or b. find someone who can.
PS: this has nothing to do with Originative and this specific case, I just mean in general.

Many of the 'customers' are quite Toxic (see what I did there?) and entitled, and no matter what updates they send, it will not be enough. There's a middle ground, especially when dealing with third parties that they cannot control. These delays on this particular group buy are an example of this; the delay is on JTK, not Originative (I know that you said it wasn't specifically about Originative, but it is a good example).
You are making this sound like what they’re doing is public service and not commerce. That the paying customers should be grateful and suck it up through the delays and damaged products.
The things they have to do as a business entity are things they decided they would do in exchange for profits. Oco, or any other business entity, are accountable for their (paid for) business commitments. In this case, all that was being asked for were updates.
We got the update we wanted. A clear and honest description of what was happening. It's pretty obvious that every update up until this one was grossly inaccurate and thus why most people were upset (it doesn't matter where the update was posted, they were all stringing us along). There's nothing else that needs to be said.I don't think it's fair to say they were stringing us along. I think they updated with the information they had and believed at the time. There would be no point in lying intentionally knowing they would miss a deadline...

Right, there is extra. I ordered a set two weeks ago.
it could be because they ordered extras, and also to cover the expected cancellations in GBs (normally happens). nothing fishy about that.

the sets for originative have now left jtk and are with the shipping agent, and originative will have tracking in the next 48 hours
Hi all,
Hope you're doing well! Thank you for your patience with this group buy! Just wanted to do a quick update letting you know that the Toxic sets have arrived today and we're preparing for shipment shortly. Before we do, we'd like to offer you the option to add JTK Sliders to your order at a discounted price and no extra shipping costs.
We have the sliders in both the Toxic green color as well as purple. If you want to add the sliders to your order, simply checkout with the links below and we will combine it with your Toxic order (if you want to purchase both, you'll have to checkout separately):
Toxic Sliders
Purple Sliders
Also, if there are any changes to your shipping address, please let us know asap so we can make changes. We will be fulfilling orders starting tomorrow/Wednesday at the latest, so if you want to add the sliders (and have trouble checking out) or want to make changes to your order, please let us know as soon as possible.
Thanks again,
Originative

Yes, I was quite happy to see that email also today, thanks for posting for those who might have missed it though. Kinda bummed the peace offering is only useful for Topre users, but I got in the buy very late so I really can't complain.

That didn't seem a peace offering to me (nor do I think that one is required), but more an opportunity to make the purchase.
cool, my orders are on their way...toxic is coming

My package says it should arrive on Monday! I couldn't be more excited! I've been holding off on a complete upgrade for my novatouch including BKE Heavies, EK Mechlube 2, KBD Silencing rings, and with this order from originative some JTK Toxic MX sliders. Monday will be a day of glorious keyboard modifications.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Ap6CPaU.jpg)
My body is ready....
whoooaaa....now i’m really stokes, cant wait till it arrived. hope nothing happen during transit to my country..Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/v85mNrt.jpg)
It's happening people! To my surprise my package was waiting for me when I got home today!
JTK has definitely come through on this set, they look flawless! I honestly couldn't be more pleased, if only I didn't have to work in the morning or I'd be up all night messing with my keeb.
Just want to say a quick shoutout to sherry and bunny for making this all happen, you guys took a lot of flak for this one but stuck with it and delivered and I think everyone will be ecstatic to receive this keyset in the next few days!
TOXIC HAS ARRIVED!!

Now that's how a key set should be boxed & packed! This will be my 1st JTK set & I'm already happy with what I'm seeing!

finally got to use this bbv2 that I've been sitting on...
Well if the JTK set is more yellow than the original, then the artisans that bro made for the DCS set are also off color because they match JTK toxic perfectly...
So I see that originative sells this set on its site. I haven't followed the entire timeline but I'm guessing I shouldn't be placing an order?

I think originative has a decent stock of these sets on hand after the buy ended. You could contact them before hand to see if they have any in ATM.
Just wanted to thank Originative and sherryton for getting these out expediently! I've been sitting on them for a few weeks now, but I finally got around to attacking the project I was going to build utilizing these caps; a custom Varmilo VA87 project.
• Custom powdercoated aluminum frame with textured black
• Custom powdercoated matching 'acid green' switch plate
• Clipped/lubed Cherry stabs
• Lubed Gateron Silent Blacks
• Green 1.8mm LEDs

Caps are excellent, especially considering the cost! I plan on enjoying them for a while to come. :)
