[GB] [CLOSED] HHKB Metal Stickers
« on: Sat, 14 May 2016, 15:41:58 »
    Hello folks,

    I am ready to take orders for these stickers here:


More pictures can be seen here: https://deskthority.net/group-buys-f50/topic-t13669.html

They are available in 3 different colors, including one for the latest Bluetooth version.

Bluetooth


Pink


Red


Yellow


Type-S (red only)


Don't get irritated, the black parts of the preview are actually goldish like on the images.

The Type-S is currently not available but if the demand is high enough I will try to convince the producer to make some of those.
Type-S is now available in red only, for additional 2€.

The price per sticker will be 7€ plus international shipping (with tracking) of 3,40€ (up to 20 gram, I will add weight of one sticker tomorrow).
 I forgot to add up PayPal fees (1,9% + 0,35 EUR).

Additional Information
You can place an order vie PM to me, I need the type (Bluetooth, Pink, Red, Yellow) and quantity plus the address where to send the stickers.
As soon as I have set up a proper PayPal account for this Group Buy (to not get screwed over by PP) I will send every participant the payment details.

The GB closes on 21.05.2016

UPDATE
I've weighted the some of the stickers and well, basically couldn't get anything out of my scale. I guess I can easily ship 30 stickers or more in one envelope.

UPDATE
Stickers are finally shipped :)

It seems that Type-S in red will be possible in 30 piece sheets, I will add info here as soon as I got the pricing.

Oh, one question, since the sticker and the font is so thin, how difficult is it to align it when applying the sticker?

Silly question, but the Type-S sticker is just the one above, right? It doesn't come with the "HHKB" sticker?

Sounds like it.  Since it's cheaper than the HHKB one, you're only getting "Type", "-", and "S".

Gotcha. Wasn't sure if that price was on top of the regular price, or the price by itself.

Are these the same stickers as the ones sold here?

To answer your question. Yes and no.

The design should be identical to the one on the HHKB case (not sure about his) and will fit over the logo.

His sticker costs 9 EUR for 1x HHKB + 1x Type-S while mine costs 18 USD for 3x HHKB Pro2 + 3x Type-S in silver & gold (total 12 stickers).

However, my sticker is entirely in gold and silver while his has the colours on the squggly line instead, probably that's why his costs are higher?

So not totally the same. Order from both of us if you want to try out both designs and support a new member's GB?

Can you help me understand the price of these stickers?  As Shadovved just said, it is likely due to the additional colors involved - but is that the only reason?  Is the material quality superior?  Is the adhesive different, etc?  I'm interested in the design but would like to know a bit more about what exactly I'm paying for.

Very interested in this info as well.

Also, what kind of turnaround should we be expecting?

I have no comparison to those stickers, mine are produced in Korea.

Can you help me understand the price of these stickers?  As Shadovved just said, it is likely due to the additional colors involved - but is that the only reason?  Is the material quality superior?  Is the adhesive different, etc?  I'm interested in the design but would like to know a bit more about what exactly I'm paying for.

The price results from the production kost in Korea, plus middle man, shipping and tax to Europe plus calculating envelopes and stuff. Additional colors do affect the price a little bit and they are very precisely manufactured so that they just fit on top of the old logo (as you can see from my pictures).

Is there a method without tracking? I really couldn't care less if $10 got lost in the mail
If you wish I could send you the letter without tracking but I won't be responsible if something gets lost. You'd take the risk unfortunately :(

How long do you think it's going to take for these to ship?
The GB ends 20th this month. Meanwhile I will send payment information to every participant.
I guess it will take up to 2 or 3 weeks to get the stickers from Korea, I will ship as soon as possible.

Oh, one question, since the sticker and the font is so thin, how difficult is it to align it when applying the sticker?
It is very fiddly actually, the adhesive is kind of forgiving though. The stickers are so precisely made that you can see if they don't fit 100%
It took me a couple minutes to place the sticker.


I hope this answers the questions :)
Thanks for your interest!

Hey Fellas, I've spoken with the guy 2 days ago and it seem she didn't get my email at all.
The other problem I have is that there were a miscommunication in the possible quantity. It seems that I've ordered more than possible in one batch. Sadly it is not enough to start a second production.

Affected stickers are HHKB Pink and Type-S.

I will clarify things later and see how to handle this :(
Big bummer for me guys but I think we will find a solution.
