I'm not too concerned about delays or wait times! It happens for sure. My biggest issue is the complete radio silence from MechKeys.ca... I can't get a response from them and if they don't change my shipping address this set will be delivered to some strangers who probably won't appreciate what they're receiving at all.

How have you been trying to contact him? He usually replies to emails pretty quickly (within a couple days at least), otherwise I'm pretty sure he has a discord server too.

Sent an email a couple weeks ago and have messaged on Facebook with no response :\ I'll find the discord. Thanks!

Ok, so I some good news for once

The manufacturer sent more than just the production samples they promised to zFrontier. They sent 5 huge boxes of keycaps, which should be a good portion of the total order.

There seem to be at least both types of alphas and mods, as well as spacebar, numpad, and blanks kits. I won't know for sure which kits and how many until they have been properly sorted.

It doesn't look like any of the kits with coloured keys (accents, 40s, ortho, and ergo) are present, so I assume they're still in production.

Looks like we won't be waiting until December after all

Sweet!
I wonder if zFrontier will start shipping each order as soon as the sorting is finished, or if they will wait for all the kits before sending then all to the postal in one single trip.
And yeah, I did not buy any kit with accent keys

I'm not sure, but there is a lot of sorting to do first. The GB sold like 2.6k kits total, so it could take a while before they start shipping regardless

Hope they use some sort of tray to hold the caps. XDA Canvas was a mess as lots of people got wrong keys.

Ok, so zF have received the full order of regular & katakana alphas, text mods (and I think icon mods too, but they didn't say), numpad, spacebars, and blanks.

They also sent samples of the accent, homing, 40%, ortho, ergo, UK, and int kits. There is also a sample of the M0110 kit (although technically not part of this GB).

They said that the blue accent keys look less saturated IRL than in the photos. Also, the orange keys are done in a different orange. Here's a pic of the orange accents next to a correct colour sample.

The remaining kits are still in production. The factory estimates 2 weeks, although we all know how accurate their previous estimates have been

)

I'm currently confirming if they'll start shipping now or whether they're waiting for the full order.

So am I expecting more or less than a month more if I ordered from Dixie Mech?

coffeeshopcoder · « **Reply #288 on:** Sun, 31 March 2019, 22:34:03 »

Does Dixie put up extras after they receive the shipment and the main orders are shipped out ?

Good news everyone!

The remainder of Oblique has arrived at zFrontier. They're already starting to ship kits out to the other vendors, after which they should start shipping to customers.

I'll ask him for a rough estimate. Shipping from China to him should be pretty fast but I've no idea how long it'll take to clear customs and for him to sort and ship everything.

That is what usually happens. I'll post here on the thread when extras are up (if nobody else beats me to it).
