Title: [GB] GMK Red Alert & Olivetti [OVER!]
Post by: Photekq on Wed, 25 February 2015, 17:30:33
Please read ALL information below before ordering. If you miss vital information regarding customs/postage insurance that’s on you.

This GB has no MOQ. Read below for more info.


If there are any bugs on the website or you have any problems, please contact me! This is the first time the site has been used publicly, so it's quite possible there'll be a few bugs.

All payments are done through Stripe. The site is fully PCCI compliant and uses SSL during checkout. Note that during the checkout the URL will change to pegasus.terrassl.net - this is nothing to worry about, this is just shared SSL. It is just as secure.

The set

This is a proxy-GB for the GMK Red Alert + Olivetti sets you may have seen recently. They’re coming from a friend of mine in China, the person who bought the sets from GMK.

This is a batch-style GB. The keycaps are already made. Every time we get 10 or so orders, those sets will be shipped to me. I will then ship them out. So, do not expect instant delivery.

Both sets contain 126 keys, as shown below. The price is fixed at £127.50+shipping (roughly $200+shipping). For this you get the keyset, a Hammer cardboard keycap holder (which the set will be shipped in), and a Hammer novelty keycap. The novelty keycap will be shipped to you at a later date (novelty keycaps in pictures below do not necessarily represent the ones included with these keycaps).

Shipping/Customs

All shipping is fully tracked. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery within the UK, and Royal Mail Tracked&Signed for international.

Please note that the shipping prices only hold up to 4 sets because of the size/weight formats Royal Mail uses for their international deliveries. If you want to order more than 4 sets total, please contact me here or through our website before ordering so that a delivery quote can be given. Any orders of over 4 sets will be refunded.

Within the UK, the sets are fully insured up to £500. For international deliveries, RM Tracked&Signed is only insured up to £50. The value will be marked as £50 for all international deliveries, so hopefully there will be no hefty customs charges on your end. If you want the value marked higher, or if you want more insurance please contact us before ordering.

If your set is lost while being delivered we cannot guarantee any kind of refund. If you think your set is lost, please contact me and I will get in touch with the courier and try to get reimbursement for the value the set is insured for.

For international, unless you request more insurance the maximum amount you can be refunded if your order is lost is £50. We cannot guarantee this. If RM does not reimburse us, we cannot reimburse you. This is a GB, please remember that. I cannot afford to refund you the full value out of my own pocket.

The shipping estimation before checkout isn't working on the site (working on fixing it).

However, if you go to the first step of checkout, it will give you an accurate quote depending on the number of sets you ordered.


The price

I’m fully aware this set has a high pricetag. As I’ve said, I’m just acting as a proxy. My friend is giving us a lower price per set than he is giving elsewhere, but after Paypal (Paypal fees are huge) and Stripe fees the price comes up to around the same amount.

The £127.50 price includes shipping fees from China->UK, Paypal fees (used when I pay the supplier for the sets), Stripe fees, etc.

The total price you pay is £127.50 + shipping cost to you.


Please, do not threadcrap with comments regarding the price. If you’re interested in the financials behind this GB, please contact me. Until you have more information, please keep your mouth shut.

How to order

Please order through our website (run by myself) precision-buys.com :

ORDER HERE!!! (http://precision-buys.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6_5)

All payments are done through Stripe. The site is fully PCCI compliant and uses SSL during checkout. Note that during the checkout the URL will change to pegasus.terrassl.net - this is nothing to worry about, this is just shared SSL. It is just as secure.

Thanks for looking. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll be watching this thread closely :)

Just to clarify, these are made by GMK, that German company right? I'm guessing your friend in China bought a huge bulk on his own money and is now selling them? Reason I asked is that on other threads we are struggling with MoQ but now we have two GMK sets! The only way is upfront investment by your friend ala one of the options outlined in the TA GB.

Elrick must be having a field day!

For the lazy:

As of the time of this post, the exchange rate for GBP to USD makes this set $198.05, exclusive of shipping and other fees (foreign currency fee?).

Yeah, it's pretty pricey after all the shipping fees, Stripe fees (2.4%), Paypal fees for sending the money to the supplier (4.4%), etc. :'(

I won't be getting in on this because the price is prohibitively high, but this is a relevant question for those considering.  Is shipping to the UK included in the price and then you pay shipping from the UK or is the shipping to the UK an additional cost on top of shipping from the UK to you?
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Red Alert & Olivetti
Post by: CPTBadAss on Wed, 25 February 2015, 19:47:06
Does that price fluctuate with the exchange rate like the GMK buy bill is running? Just want some clarification.

Shipping to the UK from China is included in the £127.50. Then you pay shipping from me to you.

Does that price fluctuate with the exchange rate like the GMK buy bill is running? Just want some clarification.
Unless it fluctuates by a large percentage the price will stay the same. I may reevaluate the price to match the change in exchange rate after every batch goes out.

It doesn't fluctuate in the base currency (GBP). But the exchange rate will change from day-to-day.

given the Olivetti and Red Alert colorways approach 'classic' status i'm sure they'll sell eventually. problem being with the numerous options for a GMK set at the moment and in the near future, most people will have a hard time rationalizing getting one of these sets

p.s. not counting mod/colorpacks, there were two GMK fullset GBs conducted here in the previous year. this year we might have triple that by the time April rolls around. quite amazing really

Rowdy OUR money is virtually worthless in fact it lines up correctly with Monopoly Money, hence we must deal with the fundamental fact that this Convict Settlement located at the bottom of the world, has no economy at all.

I think the Russian Rouble is worth more compared to our crapola currency, and we aren't even sanctioned by the West unlike poor Russia.

Thanks for offering this Proxy Service Photekq :thumb:

Stripe is not common in Germany, so I don't have an account.

I hope I can manage to set it up in time :)




Edit:

I just created one, but it's a bit confusing. Paypal just withdraws from my regular bank account, but I am not sure how Stripe works.

It says it's still in Beta in Germany. The FAQs are in English and mine isn't good enough to understand all the financial terms.

I need a credit card to charge up my stripe account right?

Yeah, the price is hefty, but I think it's rather unlikely these will be made again anytime soon. I doubt a regular GB would reach MOQ, because the guys that really want these keys will already have ordered them. Just look at Ivan's failed attempts with GMK sets...


For me these are the perfect sets that contain all the keys I need with the legends I like, so I will just suck it up and buy them - Elrick would be proud  :p

No Stripe account needed! I'm the only one that needs an account, not you guys. You just enter your card information during checkout, and that information will go through Stripe.

Stripe is only available to receive payments in certain countries, but you can pay through Stripe from any country.

Sorry for any misunderstanding :-[

Just something I'd like to say about the price :

I'm aware the price is quite high, but after considering all the fees (including the hefty import tax the supplier had to pay), aswell as the keycap box & novelty, the price is not unreasonable. That's not to say it isn't pricey, but anyway, just thought I'd say that. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do to change the pricey-ness.

I can't really give an answer.. It will depend entirely on how quick the shipping is. I would guess a few weeks from when the first batch of orders has filled up.

Is that 100 sets of each TOTAL?  Or 100 sets of each available to GH?

If total, that would completely explain the price, as GMK has a very high MOQ (usually 500?), and to allow a lower MOQ they would naturally increase the price.

More likely shipping to China and from China to the UK has added ~$10-30 to the cost of each set.  So let's say $120-130 shipped to China (higher cost because of windowed caps) +  $10 sorting + $5-10 box + $15-20 Hammer cap, you're looking at $160+ to get a set based off pricing and quotes I've seen on other sets and that's before PayPal or stripe fees.  The pricing makes sense, but it's high because of logistics and stuff people might not want.

Is that 100 sets of each TOTAL?  Or 100 sets of each available to GH?

If total, that would completely explain the price, as GMK has a very high MOQ (usually 500?), and to allow a lower MOQ they would naturally increase the price.

100 sets of each available to GH, roughly.

GMK MOQ is 250. Their price does drop at higher quantities though.

Pretty sure he bought 250 sets of each to sell.
Correct, but most of those will be sold to the Chinese community.

More likely shipping to China and from China to the UK has added ~$10-30 to the cost of each set.  So let's say $120-130 shipped to China (higher cost because of windowed caps) +  $10 sorting + $5-10 box + $15-20 Hammer cap, you're looking at $160+ to get a set based off pricing and quotes I've seen on other sets and that's before PayPal or stripe fees.  The pricing makes sense, but it's high because of logistics and stuff people might not want.
Pretty much this. Logistics are a large part of the high cost here, and that's all down to the main market being China. It's done the way it is because that's where most of the sets will be sold.

FYI

These sets are currently being sold at TaoBao.
Some links can be found as below.

All prices are ¥1,150 CNY. It's about $183 USD or £118 GBP at the current exchange rate.
It doesn't include any other costs like shipping fee, proxy-handling fee, tax and so on.

Pho - is your friend willing to ship direct from China to Malaysia? That would make so much sense for me. That would have reduce the shipping cost from UK to Malaysia.

Yeah, they're readily available on taobao, which might seem more attractive than ordering here due to the lower price (since the sets are already in China = fewer costs). However, after the fees mentioned above it would definitely end up more expensive than purchasing here.

Pho - is your friend willing to ship direct from China to Malaysia? That would make so much sense for me. That would have reduce the shipping cost from UK to Malaysia.
As I've said before, I'm getting these sets for less than they're selling elsewhere, in order to make this more affordable. This is partly because the supplier won't have to ship out individual orders. So, I can't offer shipping individual sets direct from China. However, if you can gather a few people ordering from Malaysia, I can arrange for all your sets to be sent to one person. Then you can distribute them among yourselves.

Genuinely curious, and the answer(s) I receive may influence a purchase: Take the shipping and merchant fees out of the equation; that's the cost of doing business. These are not PBT caps, correct? I'd like to know what is it about these particular keycap sets that makes them special to justify a high base price?

These caps are thick ABS with doubleshot legends.  They are made by GMK in Germany who purchased keycap manufacturing tooling from Cherry.  They are the same company who makes Dolch, Classic Beige, Olivetti, etc..

Sorry that's the case. I went with Stripe for the same reason CTRL[ALT] did. Paypal doesn't like preorders/GBs. It maybe wasn't necessary for this proxy, but it certainly is for a full GMK GB which I should be running soon.

If you really cannot order through credit or debit, shoot me a PM and I can try to work out a way for you to buy it through Paypal.

More
Please read ALL information below before ordering. If you miss vital information regarding customs/postage insurance that’s on you.

This GB has no MOQ. Read below for more info.


If there are any bugs on the website or you have any problems, please contact me! This is the first time the site has been used publicly, so it's quite possible there'll be a few bugs.

All payments are done through Stripe. The site is fully PCCI compliant and uses SSL during checkout. Note that during the checkout the URL will change to pegasus.terrassl.net - this is nothing to worry about, this is just shared SSL. It is just as secure.

The set

This is a proxy-GB for the GMK Red Alert + Olivetti sets you may have seen recently. They’re coming from a friend of mine in China, the person who bought the sets from GMK.

This is a batch-style GB. The keycaps are already made. Every time we get 10 or so orders, those sets will be shipped to me. I will then ship them out. So, do not expect instant delivery.

Both sets contain 126 keys, as shown below. The price is fixed at £127.50+shipping (roughly $200+shipping). For this you get the keyset, a Hammer cardboard keycap holder (which the set will be shipped in), and a Hammer novelty keycap. The novelty keycap will be shipped to you at a later date (novelty keycaps in pictures below do not necessarily represent the ones included with these keycaps).

Shipping/Customs

All shipping is fully tracked. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery within the UK, and Royal Mail Tracked&Signed for international.

Please note that the shipping prices only hold up to 4 sets because of the size/weight formats Royal Mail uses for their international deliveries. If you want to order more than 4 sets total, please contact me here or through our website before ordering so that a delivery quote can be given. Any orders of over 4 sets will be refunded.

Within the UK, the sets are fully insured up to £500. For international deliveries, RM Tracked&Signed is only insured up to £50. The value will be marked as £50 for all international deliveries, so hopefully there will be no hefty customs charges on your end. If you want the value marked higher, or if you want more insurance please contact us before ordering.

If your set is lost while being delivered we cannot guarantee any kind of refund. If you think your set is lost, please contact me and I will get in touch with the courier and try to get reimbursement for the value the set is insured for.

For international, unless you request more insurance the maximum amount you can be refunded if your order is lost is £50. We cannot guarantee this. If RM does not reimburse us, we cannot reimburse you. This is a GB, please remember that. I cannot afford to refund you the full value out of my own pocket.

The shipping estimation before checkout isn't working on the site (working on fixing it).

However, if you go to the first step of checkout, it will give you an accurate quote depending on the number of sets you ordered.


The price

I’m fully aware this set has a high pricetag. As I’ve said, I’m just acting as a proxy. My friend is giving us a lower price per set than he is giving elsewhere, but after Paypal (Paypal fees are huge) and Stripe fees the price comes up to around the same amount.

The £127.50 price includes shipping fees from China->UK, Paypal fees (used when I pay the supplier for the sets), Stripe fees, etc.

The total price you pay is £127.50 + shipping cost to you.


Please, do not threadcrap with comments regarding the price. If you’re interested in the financials behind this GB, please contact me. Until you have more information, please keep your mouth shut.

How to order

Please order through our website (run by myself) precision-buys.com :

ORDER HERE!!! (http://precision-buys.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6_5)

All payments are done through Stripe. The site is fully PCCI compliant and uses SSL during checkout. Note that during the checkout the URL will change to pegasus.terrassl.net - this is nothing to worry about, this is just shared SSL. It is just as secure.

I'm interested in the total number of sets left as well. I would like to get an Olivetti set, but would prefer to wait a bit for my wallet to relax again.

There's plenty of sets left.

Would the olivetti's blue match the "N5" blue of the ongoing blue modifier group buy?

It should look pretty good with Olivetti (the arrow key is N5 I believe):

this set uses the slightly darker V4 so you'll have two different shades of blue, but not a big deal imo. this + billnye pack is the easiest method to recreate the Raindrop look right now and i'd actually prefer having a sharper blue on the text, but if you're striving for uniformity then it's better to find a Sherry Olivetti set (like in wlhm's pic) for the alphas.

some people are also combining the blue mod pack with the Triumph Adler alphas, another option for you to consider

IMO it is better for you to order from photekq because you're in Germany? He ship them from UK, and the current batch is about to hit 10 sets, so not a long wait.  :thumb:

Well, you can actually. But before you do so, pls take in consideration how many sets of GMK sets are currently running their IC and GB, and those that just finished. I think many GHer have a thin wallet by now. Good luck for your plan.

Since you're in the US I think they'll both work out at about the same price. Ordering here would also make the next batch faster for everyone else and is also a lot less hassle.

Hello sir. As you can see, this thread is currently in actual fact for the sale of said red alert sets that you are currently most wanting. In actual fact.

Also sir it is worthwhile me to note, that if you and Mr NorrisB order each order a set, we will be only one set off the next batch.

That is, in actual fact, a good situation.

Do you require a PM also about this possibility of a good situation?

The keycap sets themselves have arrived.

The Hammer keycaps are being shipped seperately and should come soon. I'll start shipping once those come.

Now, I'm currently spending most of my free time studying for exams, which was not the case when I did the last batch. Because of this, shipping will be a bit more slow. I'll try and get one or two packages sent out a day. I hope this isn't a problem, and I apologize in advance for any delay. I hope you all understand! :)

I just heard back about the Hammer keycaps. They apparently got returned to the sender the first time they got sent to me, and they've now been sent again. They should arrive in a week or so. I'll keep everyone updated if I hear more :)

As soon as those arrive the batch 2 sets will ship, and I'll work out something for getting the keycaps to the batch 1 orderers.

All the standalone Red Alert orders shipped today.

There's been a problem with the Olivetti sets. I got shipped 1 too few Olivetti sets, so I'm trying to work that out at the moment.. To everyone who ordered Olivetti - please check your email! I sent everyone a message about it.

Wouldn't be surprised if you keep all the artisans to yourself

If you wind up getting extra Olivetti sets sent, I'd be interested if it's possible to add on one extra.

Yeah, photek shouldn't be trusted running Classic Beige, so I guess I will run one separately, and it would probably be done before he starts
