[GB] Gateron Switch (CLOSED)

[nubbinator]

ordered 100 blacks. Got dispatched oversees on 4-21 and is out for delivery today. Took about a week to reach me here on the west coast U.S.

Wait, they allow that on the West Coast?  I thought that was just a Southern thing a hundred plus years ago.

Got my Gats, box was a bit mashed, but they seem fine. Thanks Shadovved!

HA ) I see what you did there. Edited to sound less racist.

I've noticed it a hundred times on the forum.  We're always describing the switches as "blacks", "browns", "reds", "whites'", etc.  It looks even worse when people declare how much they hate on or the other.  I actually correct my language as much as I can.  Thankfully there don't seem to be any SJWs here to blow it out of proportion.

Once you go black you don't go back

Smooth, but heavy. I need to swap springs with mine because I am so used to lighter switches

[retrochick]

Just got my Gaterons! Thanks so much Shadovved for the super fast shipping!

[metalliqaz]

Anyone else had theirs stuck at "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment"?

Anyone else had theirs stuck at "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment"?

From my experience, that just means it's processing in the country it was shipped from.

Sometimes it says that all the way up until it's delivered at my house. USPS seems to be pretty lackadaisical about scanning international packages sometimes.

Got mine today, and Clears are too light for me. Anyone want to trade some Browns or Blacks for my Clears? PM me if you're interested!

Just order some separate springs

Sent to a wrong city  you got the street name right though.
I can see in the tracking that it is at the wrong city dispatch centre.

[edit] followed the french postal offices procedure in such case, they will re route it if possible. Will keep you tuned if I have any news.

Alright, I'll keep you posted if it gets returned.

Mine just arrived as well, thanks a lot Shadovved

Got mine yesterday, black ones! Very fast shipping indeed! Haven't installed them yet, but they appear to be super smooth, much more so than my cherry mx reds. They're also a tad heavier than cherry mx red, but not by much. Has anyone tried lubing black gaterons? Thinking about trying it before installing these, even though they seem very smooth already, so not sure if it will really make much of a difference.

Do not underestimate the incompetence of the Brazilian post.  At least with a tracking code I can complain if it takes too long.

[StarWarsAs]

It got the same thing, I think it means it's on his way to your country but hasn't arrived or been scanned yet in Italy.

It means that it's been dispatched overseas.

Wasn't it more like 4000 at some point to get the Browns over the 20k mark?

Yes. I initially ordered over 4500 to make sure the browns hit moq for the price break. Luckily that act encouraged others to buy some browns and it hit moq without my order. I still purchased 500 browns, but not because I had to.

Big shout out to everyone for helping me stay out of the doghouse with my wife.

[evera]

ordered about 500 switches - got my tracking today!

[metalliqaz]

y'all must be preparing for the keyboard apocalypse!

[jonlorusso]

Have all tracking numbers gone out, ie.  should I be worried that I haven't received one yet?

[ideus]

I got my shipping notice today, finally.

[daviswalkers]

Finally!? This has to be the fastest gb in GH history!

Mine's sadly stuck in:
"Origin Post is Preparing Shipment"
for the past 5 days or so

[nubbinator]

I got my shipping notice today, finally damn that was fast.

[FreeCopy]

My shipment arrived yesterday and I was just able to get to the post office today to pick it up. Those blacks really are super smooth. Incredible turn-around. Thank you!

[ideus]

Hehe, that is right, it was fast.

[nubbinator]

Shaddovved, did some not go out today?  I ask only since you said they'd all be out today and I didn't get a tracking number yet.

I got my shipping notice today, finally damn that was fast.

Hehe, that is right, it was fast.

Probably the fastest of this size I have ever seen.

[rsac]

Got my tracking number too! Thanks Shadovved! That was fast! Now let's see how many months it will take to get past the customs here.

[FoC_Tow]

Just noticed I got my shipping notice as well yesterday! xD

Much Thankies Shadovved!  <33
Now just to wait for my GON to finally arrive...
