[GB] Unified daughterboard C3
« on: Fri, 17 September 2021, 09:51:48 »
tl;dr at bot

Hi GH

As the IC was quite successful due to many people having the same sourcing issue, I suggest we move onto the GB stage ;)
The GB can be entered following this link: https://forms.gle/A3nGdMF5LPuH9t2BA

What you'll receive

A unified C3 Daughterboard including 6" (120mm) JST cable carefully packaged into an ESD bag.
For more details on what you're purchasing please checkout the git repo here: https://github.com/ai03-2725/Unified-Daughterboard

Pricing

Daughterboard incl cable: 9USD/unit excl. pp fees (5.4% + 0.35EUR) and shipping.
Side note: pricing can drop to 8USD/unit if 50 units are exceeded before I start invoicing. So don't be surprised if your total is less than expected. :)

Shipping options

I ship directly from Belgium (EU). As shipping is quite expensive over here I offer 2 options:

  - Send as a letter: 5USD (not recommended, max 2 units. This option will be scrapped if not enough interest due to MOQ stamps)
  - Send as a package: 10USD (recommended, boards will be better protected and in a box)

Side note: if you're from Belgium/The Netherlands/.. I'll DM you as I might have some better/local/cheaper options for you.

How do you join?

Fill in the google form (https://forms.gle/A3nGdMF5LPuH9t2BA) and fill in the details.

Timeline

- GB closes 26th of September. Invoices will be send out during the week.
- Week of 27 September: orders will be placed and the waiting (+-6 weeks) starts.
- After the 6 weeks I'll need 1 week to pack and ship the orders.
- Your order arrives within 1-3 weeks depending on where you live.

Max (IDEAL) waiting time is around 8-10 weeks from GB end date -> shipping out

Additional details

- The MOQ is set at 30 units. I will not be sending out invoices before I think this MOQ can be reached. If you're getting an invoice, I'm running the GB.
- Everyone gets 48h to pay after receiving their invoice or otherwise the order will be cancelled
- GB's get delayed. Keep this in mind. Not everything is under my control (e.g. clearance at customs,..)
- I also run keeb.studio as a small side project so I know how to ship things. No need to worry about that ;)
- Enjoy your new daughterboard(s) when they arrive :)

TL;DR

What: C3 unified Daughterboard + JST cable
Price: 9usd/unit excl. shipping and fees
Last day to enter: 26th of September
Timeline: 8-10 weeks from GB end date -> shipping out
Where to order: https://forms.gle/A3nGdMF5LPuH9t2BA

I was bracing my self for a lot more then $10 when you said "As shipping is quite expensive over here," lol. I'm not familiar with how EU shipping is, but NA buyers are pretty used to paying $5-15 shipping on pretty much anything, so I think this is extremely reasonable.

If I used DHL for example it would've been around 35EUR.. but great to hear 10USD is reasonable. ;)

I take that as a compliment ;). Let's hope there aren't any unexpected delays!

As there's a major update, I'm bumping the post.
Note that I HOPE to ship out everything this week. But as I did not expect the boards/cables/.. to arrive this week there might be a delay of 1 week as I'm out of the country for 1 week.

Some pics of the DB in their ESD bags. :) :)

Nope no extras available this round sorry! Might run it again in a few months if there's enough interest.

Hi! One question did people receive some kind of email with the shipping information? On November 1 I received an email saying "Your order is ready to be shipped" which I imagine is from this GB but it did not include a tracking number and I have not received any kind of update.

Hey! You probably did receive an email of my shipping tool with some (bogus) tracking info as the package has no tracking. Normally the packages arrive quite fast but sometimes a delay can happen depending on where you live. If you want to share more details with me (where you're located etc) I can look it up how long shipping normally takes to your location. Feel free to email me at alex@keeb.studio if you're not comfortable sharing this info publicly.

The email was sent through "sendcloud". The package is destined for Madrid (Spain), I understand that it may have been delayed, it just seemed strange to me that there were packages that had arrived in the US or southern Europe and mine had not yet arrived. Possibly arrive throughout this week ;)
