[IC] Artisan Boxes

[sethk_]

People seemed interested in these, and I am able to get them Pricing will be box, + shipping, + group shipping divided by however many boxes are ordered. Can be seen here: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c.w4004-11124711960.19.8lAthi&id=45612404157

I don't really want to wait that long, so I will start GB for these this week.

[SpAmRaY]

How well do these survive international shipping?

[iamtootallforthis]

I'd probably be in for one.

[Puddsy]

didn't SP make something similar to this?

or was it keypop?

How well do these survive international shipping?

Well, as far as shipping goes, I think I will use a courier. AFAIK they repackage, but from pictures I have seen of them they look fine. I ordered one already a few days ago, so I can report as how well it survives. If he offers international shipping, I will ask him to package them a bit more.

I've ordered a few in the past and they almost always arrive broken.

if that's the case (heh) it might be worth it to just buy a bunch of acrylic and get it cut to shape/size locally within the US

someone investigate that for me

I was looking into that. Would be pretty easy to do, but obviously more expensive.

Also spamray, did you order them directly from TaoBao? And how were they shipped, and through who?

Some through bhiner and some through tabaofocus. They were shipped using international registered mail.

Okay, I will ask them when they ship if they can put soft cell foam around the inside.

Not to derail your thread, but how much would it cost to some acrylic keyboard roofs done in the size of an HHKB, like EK's, but without paying $30+ shipping, even though that's probably what I'll have to do.

I have no clue how those are made

[TastaturenAuslese]

I'd be in for one if they can ship reliably to Canada.

[KnivesM]

I'm down for one.

[raymogi]

Been looking for something like this. Count me in.

[fliptrik]

I would be in for one for sure. Maybe two.

[temporal]

down

[turboloser]

I wish I had a reason to use one of these. 

Ah, well, some day! 

[tjcaustin]

SP had that rail thing with the crucifixes in them

[heedpantsnow]

I'd be in for 2.

[faxe]

Definitely one, maybe two.

[fanpeople]

If your doing international I would be in for one or two.

[sethk_]

yep

[Sed8op8]

down for one

[rowdy]

You reckon they'd survive the trip down here, given what SpAmRaY was saying?

[Fire Brand]

Terribly I already have the super large one and it has cracks in it I would expect these to have minor cracks.

I would happily be down to get another but I would strong recommend not ordering the largest as they do like in my case have multiple  cracks although the proxy you use should take pictures to show you before hand

[Fire Brand]

Ohh also to note, they do not fit keycaps such as zombro's due to the size and other keycaps around that size, but fit most everything else

I rekon it should be alright as long as its not packaged like the industrial Model M I got shipped from the US, if not it wont be a big loss so I am ok with the risk.

[tigersharkdude]

Down for one

[iceman1925]

I am pretty down for this

[linkshine]

Instant buy from me.

[tigersharkdude]

OP, from the comments it seems people are worried about damage via shipping BUT if a large order is placed I highly doubt they will ship in anything besides a box

[romevi]

Totes down for one, maybe two.

On an unrelated related note, it sort of reminded me of this, which I hoped to get some day to display artisans:

I also ordered one like that and it arrived broken.

[Data]

In for 2, possibly more, if I can be reasonably assured they will arrive unbroken. 

[theanyday]

I might be able to get down for one of these, I did however just add up everything I've spent on keyboards the past 8 months and am afraid this will only feed in to more expenditures. 

[septamber]

I've been looking for one of these for a while. I'm definitely in for one! 

[Den441]

I'm interested in ordering some.

[Zorberema]

How much is 80 YEN? Also; how much would shipping be to sweden, just on average?

[sethk_]

How much is 80 YEN? Also; how much would shipping be to sweden, just on average?

I don't know about shipping, I will play it by year when it comes. 80yen ~ 13USD

Oh, okay! I guess I'll see as soon as you've recieved them!

[hellokevin]

I'd be down for 2 if the total with shipping isn't too high.

[maxpegasus]

I'm in for 25-50 depending on the cost + shipping.

Once mine arrives, I am going to look into getting an acrylic lid cut. If there is interest, I can have multiple cut to go along with Seth's orders.

I'll check with him before I do, and see how things are looking.

Yes most definalty I can take a picture when I get home if you want but, its the same one as I bought a month or two ago although I got the largest size one which take like 100+ keys it came with a lid as I can mount it on my wall and the keys stand up correctly!
