Got an email from GMK yesterday saying that they're currently sorting the sets into the trays and the sets should be shipped out to me by the end of the week hopefully.

Are they sipping to the EU proxy first, or first to you then proxies?

I'll get a separate delivery from GMK.

Yeah, since we did all of the ordering and submitting of orders separately, we were able to get each of the orders to the proxy they came from rather than having to reship large chunks of the shipment. This means that in theory orders should reach me and the proxies at roughly the same time. Barring complications this should mean quick distribution of orders everywhere.

Regretting not buying this. And chance there will be extras?

Thanks for the update! Make sure to post pics when you get them. Can't wait to see this sweet sweet set.

I believe I have recieved my sets. I will pick the package up later and post images. Following that, I need to source packaging material for the trays.

As someone anxiously waiting for updates, I figured this info would be good for those following this thread.

Latest update posted Friday by donutcat;

"First up, Coniferous. FedEx currently has it in Memphis. Granted, they've had it since Sunday without bothering to contact me about it and I had to find out the roundabout way. A little bit of filling out paperwork and paying scary customs fees and it's on its way to me so I can wrap it in tons of bubblewrap and ship it out.

In addition, I've managed to order the nifty stickers for Coniferous that I talked about ****ing ages ago. These are 2"x3" diecuts that I think are going to look pretty great for most anything. ~~I'll probably have a form up for them soon~~ The form is up now with prices at $1 for people that bought the set and $1.50 for people that didn't get the set but want a neat sticker anyhow. I can ship them in with the set but will probably have to figure out how stamps work for those that didn't get a set

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I've actually gotten an email from FedEx stating they'll be delivering tomorrow, so I'm hoping that happens without a hitch. And apologies for a slight lack of updates here on GH, Reddit is a slightly easier format for me to give quick updates on with my limited internet access for the time being.

LOL! Love this. GMK should employ you delivering sets in your truck. I'd pay another $10 for that.

Will there be any extra sets for sale and if so where?

Gouty · « **Reply #116 on:** Tue, 18 July 2017, 13:39:46 »

I take it the stickers won't be available for the EU participants?

donutcat · « **Reply #117 on:** Tue, 18 July 2017, 13:58:30 »

So, while I've just realized I didn't account for that in the sticker form, I'll just letter mail stickers to anyone in the EU/Asia proxy.

Confirmations/invoices for shipping will be going out as I work my way through 137 of them over the course of the afternoon. Please when you receive the invoice doublecheck your PayPal address to make sure it is current and correct. I really don't want to ship pricey keysets to random/wrong addresses. Also, stickers are available at https://donutcables.com/gmk-coniferous-stickers/ and will be shipped with your set if you order before I start on invoices.

Small update, I've gotten all invoices out and am now waiting for them to be paid so I can get to business ~~hating myself~~ packing sets up. Not a lot will be done tomorrow as I'll be at my mom's house and not have access to sets or shipping supplies, but Friday will be a busy day of packing followed by Saturday being a day of making my local post office hate me.

Woot woot, mine is tracking to come in Monday, I'm in California.

Now, I need to find an artisan to match this set. I've got one artisan for all my sets except this one, mostly Keybuto IIs.

Small update, I got the first 22 orders out to the post office today:

And I've had plenty of help

I'm getting labels all printed up for those that have paid(please pay, I don't want to be in the awkward spot of people not paying for shipping and I have to hold their sets) and I'll be trying to get a good hunk of orders to the post office tomorrow in the 9am-11am that they're open(the hell is that nonsense about?) I've also found out that some of my shipping supplies weren't delivered so I have to go argue with Amazon and there's a chance of a slight 2-3day delay next week for the tail end of the invoices while waiting for those to be delivered.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #140 on:** Fri, 21 July 2017, 21:47:57 »

Got my tracking number! Also, you are a solid dude. I just got a refund for partial shipping since my address had changed. You totally didn't have to do that, but you did. You rock.

I don't use it much to be honest, it's a bit of a novelty but i got it mainly to learn how to solder diodes, resistors and whatnot. I'm still waiting for some standoffs / spacers so I can fix the 'case' together, they're coming from China which takes forever :/

I'm gonna swap the full set over to my ALU84 to use at the office, then when that sells I need to pick up a KBD75 to put it on.

donutcat · « **Reply #146 on:** Sat, 22 July 2017, 13:20:26 »

Today's update: got another 35 orders out this morning for a total of 57 orders shipped over the past 24hrs.

Overslept this morning but still managed to pack the truck and head to the post office in 15mins, and get there only 5mins before they closed(9am-11am on Saturdays). Should have the next 10-25 orders out Tuesday depending on how long the ass end of this bubble wrap roll lasts me. I'll be ordering more shipping materials today since I slightly underestimated how much bubble wrap and tape it actually takes to pack so many orders. Hopefully those supplies will be here around Tuesday and we can get the remaining orders hammered out, provided people have paid their invoices. Please, please, pay your shipping invoices. It's awkward otherwise.

donutcat · « **Reply #147 on:** Sun, 23 July 2017, 14:54:10 »

Small update for today, got another 10 orders ready to ship tomorrow. I'm currently waiting on replacement boxes that got lost in shipping to me, more bubble wrap since it's disappearing fast, more tape since that's also going fast, and now more shipping labels since I've run out. At this rate I've got up to invoice 131 printed and ready to pack, so waiting shouldn't be setting me back that much and I still expect to have all paid orders shipped out by the end of this week barring any more shipping supplies being lost by UPS.

RominRonin · « **Reply #148 on:** Sun, 23 July 2017, 15:03:11 »

Great work donutcat.

When you get a minute to breath, let us hear your reaction to the set itself, how do you feel about the outcome?

donutcat · « **Reply #149 on:** Sun, 23 July 2017, 15:19:55 »

While I haven't had a whole lot of time with just the set since I'm waiting to open mine until I get all orders shipped, I'm quite happy with it. In good lighting the colors are almost spot on to the renders, imo, though the grey can be a little dark in subpar lighting. The green is great and I'm glad I went with it over the AE since that would have been too bright for what I wanted to go for, though perhaps there can be a "GMK Deciduous" using it in the future

So far I've seen a couple different boards with it and it looks like the compatibility is being put to good use so far, which is what I was aiming for with this many keys. I kinda regret not working towards a novelty for the set, but that's also an idea if I ever look to doing a round 2 in the future, community willing. Overall I think I'll enjoy the set, and I'm hoping that others will as well.
