A few updates for the group buy:
"Shipping not available" issues:This was caused by having more than one base kit in the order, which results in combined weight going beyond what we calculated shipping for.
We will refund the shipping cost difference for individually placed orders for multiple base kits; see below for more details.
For combined orders of base kit + extra parts:The combined shipping is actually calculated properly, whether or not it was done in one purchase. The shipping cost bound to the extra parts is the difference the base kit's shipping cost would go up by when the extra part gets tacked on to the main package.
Regarding CN group buy:Kevin will likely be setting this up shortly on his Taobao storefront.
Regarding GB period:If it doesn't sell out by Dec 12 12:01PM EST, GB will close and head into manufacturing phase.

Please note that color/plate/PCB cannot be edited once actual production begins.
https://forms.gle/NdZpVQtRaSSGUGk96Shipping cost refund form for those who purchased multiple base kits across separate ordersAgain, this does not apply if you only purchased a single base kit with multiple extra parts, since that calculates combined shipping properly.
https://forms.gle/1QkMMC75FLWEeh7W6ETA:Currently a vague "mid-2021". Will update once order quantities are finalized and discussed with factories.
In-stock purchases with soldering kits:They are wrapping up the packaging phase, and are preparing to ship. I apologize for the delay; getting them packed took a lot longer than we expected.
Extra parts in the futureCurrently infeasible due to ridiculous intl shipping costs, but would like to at a later time.
GH GB thread:I need to set this up asap.
