Can't wait! Should I be worried if I haven't gotten a shipping notification for my 65g tactile switches yet?

Printing labels and packing orders take longer than putting them in bags. Notifications will come soon™

:O So clean! I love it.

Also, this is a huge undertaking, so thank you for your efforts. I know you run a business and all that so you kind of did this to yourself, but still - much appreciated.

P.S. If you live in the USA and received a shipping notification, DHL will be delivering tomorrow. If you aren't available to sign for the package (this is their default release method), please tape a piece of paper to your door with your tracking # and a little (kind?) note instructing them to leave the package at your door, etc and sign the piece of paper at the bottom. 99% chance they'll leave the package at your doorsteps as instructed, unless they have reasonable grounds to believe it isn't safe to leave the package unattended.

If DHL do that here in Brazil, my package will be stolen in 5 minutes or less. Thankfully DHL's Brazilian operation understands that and never let packages alone at the door.

Also, you can use DHL-On Demand's form in order to have them deliver it on a specific day where you can sign for it, or you can authorize them to leave it without signature under the "Schedule" Option. http://www.simplydhl.com/ondemand

Well, that's why their policy is signature required for all parcels delivered unless instructed otherwise by the shipper or recipient.

If either party requests for no signature required, then they will not be liable for lost/stolen packages.

Above all else, when shipping anything around the WORLD today - NEVER supply any type of receipt for fear of the Customs Scum grabbing your shipment to extort extra money off the poor recipient.

Brazilian custom's agents have the authority to assign a value for any given item if they do not come with a receipt (or if the supplied receipt value is deemed too low). Usually it is outrageous.

A small white box with no branding is the least eye-catching item that gets processed. Even then, if your order was shipped via DHL, chances are they don't even look at the boxes as everything is automatically cleared in bulk (no invoices are attached to the parcel as it's all uploaded online). Plus, they have their own customs broker that are busy attaching COD orange papers to shipments. Those guys literally just look at whatever declared value and charge accordingly

Speaking of DHL, part 2 of 2 have landed. 14 boxes totaling 93kg! Pricing has been adjusted to $1/ea. 4% tax/pp fee at checkout has been removed

Linear Zealios weren't too popular which is a shame

but they definitely look like crystals! Super dreamy and warm toned

Not here in Brazil, if the package is sent by a company. If it is sent by a person everything is fine, though.

And HYPED by the switches!

there has only been a handful of reviews with no one really getting there hands on a decent amount(enough to full whole boards) so I believe anyone who loved gateron blacks and is planning on modding and backlighting them will be in love with these in the end they will save money and most likely not have to lube them!

Once people have these and start building with them and the whole mob mentality foaming at the mouth for the new board swagger and the Reddit boards start lighting up with posts reviews and build logs im hoping they sell like freaking hotcakes so we can keep a steady flow of these available to this community

I'm assuming it's because the purple is a whole new switch that standardizes a favorite custom, whereas a clear can be a pumped-up Gateron Black.

Im definitely going to order a set of 67g Clears for a future board.

I have order number 1622, but I'm pretty sure I ordered the day these were available. (I assume that the order numbering is concatenated over the entire history of the site, so I'm wondering when I might be able to hope for some of these wonderful little beauties!!!)

Started at 1601. Your order hasn't gone out yet because I was waiting for 67g Purple Zealios to come in today.

Will be packing and shipping accordingly.

LOVE it immensely because the 67g Purples are coming down the line.

Can't wait for these because it's the first time I have bought non-Cherry based switches and these look good enough for a Kmac Mini to use.
