Any update on how Mechs and Co recent events will affect fulfillment?
Update 6/30/23: GMK Tako was one of the few invoices listed as paid from Mechs and Co in the official announcement.
If you are not in a place financially to wait and see how this set shakes out, take the advice of many other designers in the same spot and contest the transaction. A paid invoice is no guarantee it will ship. I will continue to do my best to keep the thread updated, however I am not involved in this buy whatsoever (other than preordering it through M&C).
Edit: Reminder of the GH Group Buy Subforum rules, directly from Hoff:
geekhack.org is a community of keyboard enthusiasts and not simply an advertising platform for keyboard-related sales. Thus we require that any group buy organizers who post their group buy threads in this section also provide updates in the thread they have started until the conclusion of the group buy, even if updates are also posted somewhere else. It is requested to post an update at least monthly, even if there is no progress in manufacturing.
Group buy threads made here are for group buy progress discussion as well as open discussion of any quality control issues. If a group buy organizer decides to provide an off-site instant message chat option for faster order support (for example Discord), any such communication needs to be optional when it comes to non-sensitive order information (individual support involving personal information is not required to, and should not, be posted in the public thread).
This is just one example of many recently where these rules are not being followed. If designers are going to use the GH community to refine and advertise their set, then it is a reasonable ask that they update members of the community that join the buy on the website and not several dozen Discord servers.
