[GB] Ragnarok Red on Black 87/104 Keyset: Order Thread [Shipped]

[RColinTaylor]

I can come get them right now if you are available; I have a 10 page paper due tomorrow and have no desire to work on it.

[Ragnorock]

Yeah, just don't show up in the next 5 mins because I'm hopping in the shower. That whole "lasts 24 hours, or even 48 hours" marketing is bull****.

[RColinTaylor]

Haha alright; I should be over there around 6.

And by around I mean at exactly six.

[Oxblood]

Is it too late for me to add a random mod to my order?

[lightsout714]

Priority from WA? Sweet should be here saturday.

Yah I hope the post office doesn't screw up and those of us on the west coast can have these sets on our keyboards before next week .

With the LoL GB people in Hawaii and the east coast got them before me... and Demik, who handled the shipping for it, lives two hours away from me haha.

[Game Theory]

For the post office futher mail away will travel by air.  Closer will travel by ground.

rag did you mail mine out?  If not i'll take one of those moogles for $10 =P

As tempting as that is I really need to see if they belong to someone else first. Once everyone gets one I will see about selling one to you. Since you'll probably be in on Portal Round 2 it can just ship with that.

How does that sound?

I also have 5 spare good backspace keys, they gave me extras with the fix.

[alaricljs]

Any chance it's Taeyoung and the 23 Tsangan kits?

what is this moogle you speak of

[Ragnorock]

I doubt it, I'm pretty good at counting even though I joke about it all the time. I thought about going through some likely candidates but there are too many. If there are any missing I can just cover the shipping.

Pretty sure moogle was supposed to be Tsangan.

[Blazestorm]

I can't believe you'd wait in line at the post office with that many boxes...

Buy some of these or some variant, I bought like 1000 labels 5 years ago and I've gone through half of those in my online selling shennanigans. Definitely pays for itself when you can just walk down to the post office and dump packages off. Although I think you can talk to them and get some baskets to bring in bulk orders of shipping.

And then get the free priority mail boxes from the post office, then buy and print your own labels with a.) click-n-ship or b.) paypal's shipping service. You don't have to do it per order, you can reach the shipping page here. You actually save money if you do it online vs. at the post office, they give free delivery confirmation on paypal and a small discount.

Then you can print labels and ship 24/7. At least mine is open 24/7 for the most part ( no staff after 6pm or whatever ).

Unless I'm mistaken, you made it sound like you were showing up at the post office with 100+ boxes and paying for all of the shipping there.

Well I guess the other things you need are a small scale (needs to read ounces, you can do 13oz or less first-class packages on paypal. and it's like $1.50-3.00), packaging tape, and a printer. I happened to have all of those I guess.

I have been mulling over switching to this process for a while, but what I have been doing isn't going that bad, even if I do show up with 100+ boxes. You are correct in that I would need to invest in a scale, and a significant number of those labels. I know most other gb organizers use stamps.com, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

[mkawa]

all you really need is a cheap cooking scale from amazon. you can print on ye olde printer paper and tape the labels down. and like everyone else says, you get a slight discount over in-person prices too.

the really nice thing about this is that you can hand off the packages to your mailman. figure out where he parks the truck on his route by your place and just hand them off when he comes by. i've saved a lot of time this way.

Create a script to do these calculations

[alaricljs]

OMG... I can't imagine going to the PO and actually dealing with those people.  I don't ship all that often, but I've been doing it w/ my trusty printer for over 10 years.  For someone like you it'd be super easy to amortize the costs of equipment and supplies.  It used to be a bigger differential, now it's just $.20 for a small flat rate box. Medium is a $.50 difference.

I was actually able to get the API's into UPS and Fedex services to do tracking info. If you have an account with them you can just browse their site for developer stuff and they'll give you downloads. I think I could have setup buying/printing labels too. But I was going to write an application to do it faster than some of these web forms. Got bored pretty quick though when some stuff didn't work or compile from their samples and realized I don't ship enough stuff to justify the work.

lol, I got the API key from UPS but this project is just sitting on my desk...Maybe one day I'll do it...

[Ragnorock]

It isn't that bad, but I guess you guys really prefer doing things online as much as possible. Both ways have their merits.

Regardless, everything was just shipped, including insurance on the 2 big orders (Marclgw and Taeyoung.)

Expect packages as soon as Sat, and sometime next week for the rest of the domestics. Internationals is still the typical 10-15 business days, but Furuya didn't get his for 3 months last round. That was first class and not priority like these are though.

Looks like most of your work is done . Congrats!

So what's next for you Rag? I remember reading bits and pieces of a Red Alert set....

[Ragnorock]

Portal round 2, then red alert.

[fstop]

Portal round 2, then red alert.

Nice! Just wanted to confirm I had actually read that and not imagined it haha.

[jonnybastard]

Cheers Rag, not much more waiting to go!

[rainb1ood]

I'm excited for this set!

[snowboarder3]

Maybe the packages can make it from Pullman -> Bham overnight. If not, I'm sure by sunday

[WorldExclusive]

Finally getting my hands on a red and black DS set. :whoo:

[alaricljs]

If I had enough money to waste it I'd have my groceries delivered.  Hell, if I had that much money I'd order a maid online too.

Ragnorock: Internationals have been sent by Priority Mail?

Probably International Priority Mail

I set up a script that sends him 60 bucks a month .

[Ragnorock]

Wait what? Lol.

[snowboarder3]

I keed, I keed.

[lightsout714]

Another site roll back. What a joke this is becoming.

[Ragnorock]

Ugh, what the F*CK. That means I lost all of my PMs from people telling me what they were missing.

EVERYONE THAT SENT ME A PM ABOUT MISSING/DEFECTIVE KEYS PLEASE RESEND.

That doesn't include the missing star keys, nobody got those.

Default posts per page is weak as hell. Gotta change it to 40 in your settings. This thread is only 36 pages to me .
What are your guys opinion on the "fixed" backspace key? To me, it looks super out of place given that the arrow keys, arrow on enter, and arrows on tab are all a very similar size, whereas the backspace arrow is tiny. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky but that's annoying as hell that SP "fixes" something and still gets it wrong. Aside from that and others missing keys, these caps look damn good and I love the texture of them as well. They really pop under the correct light. Look great on my poker. Wonderful color choice Rag, pat on the back. Also, thanks for running such a tight GB, this was damn painless and quick as hell. Quick TKL gb are the way to go.

Guess I'll repost the picture of my new keys on my Poker since the last post has disappeared...

I really don't think about it that much. Put it on and haven't looked at the backspace since.

PM resent.

[Ragnorock]

@snowboarder, @lightsout I agree with the both of you, the arrow likely could have been better but they had obvious reasons to rush it out. At least now that it is there I just don't notice it. It isn't near as distracting as the original.


Again, I repeat, if anyone is missing keys, I lost your pm in the rollback, please resend. In fact if you have any pms you haven't heard back from, like a leftovers order, resend that too. I think NYC has dibs on the 2nd last 104 set, meaning I only have 1 left pending that selling.
