Q/A

[Kabuks]

I was planning to just print shipping labels.  I'll send out a mass e-mail through a newsletter, update it on Facebook, and on geekhack.  Would that be okay?

Yea that seems fine. I just didn't want to order the other stuff I was going to buy right now and have the money tied up while waiting for the Dolch.

How is shipping calculated for first class mail?
A full 110 key cap set will fit inside a small flat rate box with ample room for added protection (not really needed) that will cost only $5.15 and take 2~3 days.

This may have been asked already but how many total dolch sets are being ordered? I would guess at least 300 sets as that's the minimum GMK will accept?

Anyone with Amazon payment or Google checkout want to proxy for me?

Sure, but I'm not sure if Sherry will ship directly to you or not.

Edit - It's soooo easy to set up Amazon Payments. You don't even need a bank account to send money; only need a credit card.

As you know from the International buyers, there is a little problem with the USPS API Plugin.  It'll be fixed

[calavera]

I don't quite follow. I was talking about domestic shipping.

[sherryton]

It's something to do with the API, I'll ask them to look into it!

Edit:  Send me your order number, and I'll see what I can do for you!!!

[aesthetics1]

Mmm. Dolch. Ordered. Thanks!

My wife wears a tin foil hat. Put your SS# on the interwebs and your identity is stolen! She means well  )

[calavera]

Yeah, amazon now requires your SS# for registration.

[Jocelyn]

Yeah, amazon now requires your SS# for registration.

Well they always have and to be fair, it's actually the government requiring it, not Amazon

[ApocalypseMaow]

Oh I hear that. I love amazon regardless. So who wants this payment so they can send it to Sherry?

[calavera]

Yeah, amazon now requires your SS# for registration.

Well they always have and to be fair, it's actually the government requiring it, not Amazon

Actually when they first started out, SS# wasn't required. My account was blocked because I didn't supply a SS# in time when they made it a requirement. Now they won't let me update my personal info so I can't use the account I use for amazon prime.

[WhiteFireDragon]

Dam this had a price bump twice already? It's been less than a day. When I first saw this, I didn't want to make the purchase transaction over wifi or my phone.

I'm not saying something will happen, but if it were, then it's ok for the person helping you to be at risk so you can get your set?

No no no! You got that all wrong. I'm asking that someone with Amazon payment already set up take money from me (via paypal) and lets order are stuff together. Then after it ships I can pay extra for shipping to me. I'm not asking anyone to fall on a sword here. Thanks for your concern. 
Either way no worries I got it sorted.

Do you not have a CC that provides single-use virtual numbers?  These days I don't have an account *without* that feature simply because it's so common.

Yeah we got all that jazz, but Amazon payments wants her social security number...
This is her answer.

Either way it's all sorted now.

[alaricljs]

Aaaah, the bank of Amazon.  But the point is, Originative takes credit directly.

Yep, that's how I got it sorted. TAKE MY MONEY SHERRY!

[Photekq]

If I order a few things from your site on the same account I used to pre order Dolch will you assume that I want them to ship with the Dolch when it arrives, or would you need me to contact you with the order numbers and request it?

[sherryton]

I believe ApocalypseMaow got it all sorted out.  Thanks everyone for helping out!

I will probably figure it out, but it would be better if you sent me the e-mail with both orders.

[rao2100]

Hi Sherry,

I am trying order from the site, but it didnt calculate the shipping for Dolch set. To be shipped to Malaysia btw. So how should I proceed?

Should I just order and you can charge me shipping thru paypal?

International shipping doesn't work correctly on his site. He told me that he will charge me for shipping through Paypal once Dolch arrives.

[rao2100]

Just ordered the Dolch set. Paid with my credit card

Btw, I didnt create an account I just ordered straight. Hope that is okay and you got my order (937)

[rao2100]

Thanks Photekq for the clarification

I got your order and e-mail.  (I guess it still shows e-mail without creating an account)

Thanks a lot for participating

Is the KS Mini dead?

Is the KS Mini dead?

I'm trying to get the aluminum case done by KMAC team.  Hold on to your horses!

PCB will be sold to everyone.  We'll try to have an acrylic and aluminum case for all.

[clakdale661]

I have a question on the shipping:

First class for a whole set is only ~$3.50, and priority is only ~$5.50 small flat rate box. How is first class $8 and prority $10.60 on your website?

This has been repeated for awhile.  If you message me with your order number, then I'll fix it.  I tried to fix the weight of the items, but it didn't matter what we tried.

Edit: I'll add the information on the front page of our web-site and Facebook.

[clakdale661]

Sorry, I didn't know it was metioned before. Where was it repeated? I didn't see a single place where this was said.

[sherryton]

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43233.msg886720#msg886720

Thanks a lot for noticing though.  I tried fixing it yesterday, but the same price is still given for springs as keysets.

Please e-mail me if you have the same problems.  I will fix it for you.

Q: KMAC 2 or KMAC 2 Rev? 

I want to know if you guys would like it if there was a hole in the middle of the keyboard.  That way you can put your index fingers through the hole and lift up the keyboard.

This new KMAC 2 requires a MOQ of 30.

Show Image

[sherryton]

I'll use this item to gauge the KS Mini.

That design, hole, or the concave design that was implemented in the Koala.

[WhiteFireDragon]

So that's what that random notch was for. Seriously, how often are you going to lift up the keyboard? And if you are going to lift it, I would think using 2 hands to grab it is not much effort than what that notch can provide.

IMO, it's ugly and just ruins the surface continuity.

I like your thoughts.  If you noticed though, all the Koreans follow each other somehow.  It transisted from a regular keyboard, then it became angled.  For me, I pick up my keyboard often, but I am pretty sure 95% of the people do not pick up their keyboards.  Anyways, WFD, I can't send you a request, can you change the settings?

[WhiteFireDragon]

I just noticed another thing on these new KMAC2 revisions. Removable blocks are no longer included, instead the WKL blocks are built into the the main top cover again? I wasn't a huge fan of those removable blocks either. They don't look as nice as one solid top cover.

Anyways, WFD, I can't send you a request, can you change the settings?

What do you mean? My PMs seem to work fine. Unless you're talking about my amazonpayment account, in which case we can talk about this in PMs.

What is the expected time for you to begin shipping the Dolch sets?

[badcop]

sherry-

I just wanted to say that I'm extremely impressed with the shipping time.  Placed my order on Friday, had in the mailbox on Monday morning.  great job and thanks again.

[sherryton]

What is the expected time for you to begin shipping the Dolch sets?

Nothing is guaranteed, and I have not gotten a response from the company. 

The set should come in a month.  It will take me about 2-3 days to package all the items, and it'll be shipped.

Thanks a lot.  If you live in the West Coast, then it should arrive in approximately 1-2 business days!

Is the Orange/Charcoal stock running low...

[remedyhalopc]

Are the 80g springs rated for actuation or bottom out?

[sherryton]

Is the Orange/Charcoal stock running low...

Sadly, yes.  I'll be keeping a few for myself though

I want to be able to bring them to any meet ups for fun.

Are the 80g springs rated for actuation or bottom out?

Both, these springs are the same weight for the actuation force and the bottom out.

[Jocelyn]

Both, these springs are the same weight for the actuation force and the bottom out.

I don't understand lol. So it's 80g at both the middle and when fully compressed?

[sherryton]

Yup

[Dubsgalore]

i thought korean springs were measured by bottoming out force

[L4yercake]

I know you've said you plan to get a 1.75 Shift + Blank 1x but have you got a time-frame on when this would happen.

I would love to get another set of OnC but really no point if its not anytime soon since it's going on an 1800.

Sound like a broken record!
