can't wait to get the pcb :p can you estimate the time for the things to get ready to ship ?

I guess your order is under quochung?

I just asked TC whether he can provide MX Plate separately.
Yeah, we merged the order to save the shipping cost :p

Probably since he has them listed on his website for 18,000 WON.

Still waiting for reply.

If available, please either add to my standing order, or invoice me again. 



Paid for the plate, thanks Elton!

I swear I knew how to read once. Must be related to the lack of coffee. Much obliged tjweir. The OP was very clear that we'd be invoiced swiftly so I was starting to feel that I'd messed up.

You can still order if you want.

I won't get the shipping quote until Monday unfortunately.  I'll invoice when I find out the cost.

Thanks for all the prompt payment. Besides you weren't late, you submitted on the first. I was late invoicing. :)

I'll wait a few more days for payment then I'll pass the money to True Custom for him to ship orders out.

I'll provide tracking once they're shipped.

Just some updates.

True Custom has packed the keypads and shipping costs were over charged.  I will refund the difference once I know the true costs.

Anyone want to buy stabilizer sets for $3.50? I will just refund the difference in shipping + the stabilizers.

This does not apply to US bulk shipment though and the CAD one. He overestimated the weight of keypad + packing materials for each order, but underestimated the bulk US order. :\

It's ok, we got the US order covered.

Sorry, he's only selling the stabilizers to those he overcharged.

International orders are the ones affected..I'll make a list and give 24 hours or so for those to read the update if they want to add stabilizers to their order or not. Then I'll start the refund

Overcharged Shipping Differences:
joneslee85 - $23
witbliz - $4 - $3.5
KyesaRRi - $22 - $3.5
Razer1987 - $19 - $3.5
Aleksander - $19 - $7
cruk - $13.5

You guys can track your package here: http://www.koreapost.go.kr/eng/sub/EMS_Search.jsp?contId=e1020600

Or you can use your country's postal system to track it. Works for me when I track a Canadian or US order.

Example: canadapost.ca, usps.com, etc

According to EMS mine is almost here, so excited!

Edit: Arrived today, packaged really well.

Picking what switches im going to use, cant wait to test this.

Settled with Ergo Clears and standard Greys. Caps are from the keyboard that came from my original 486 dx66 (rubber dome); sadly the longer caps used a different stabilizer, they cannot be used with cherry mx :(.

How'd you fit rubber dome key caps on cherry mx switches?

I got everything today.  And for those of you who have seen how Redline packages, I can tell you that this packaging was proper packaging.  The boxes came looking great (though oddly they were taped together) and with plenty of good packaging material on all sides.  It's a pity I have to open the PCB packaging just to confirm what's what since they're not marked too clearly. 

I have to pick up some different sized boxes from the post to see what size box it will fit in.  Right now it's looking like they'll be in a medium flat rate box (edit: I should say this depends on what you ordered, one order might require a large), so shipping will be the cost of that and any additional packaging materials I may have to add.  The target is to get invoices out by Thursday, assuming I can get to the post on my lunch tomorrow or Thursday, and shipped by this weekend as long as you pay the shipping invoice quickly.

If you have any questions, requests, shipping bundles, change of address, love letter requests, and so on, now is the time to get them in.  Just PM me and I'll do my best to get back to you quickly and make it work.

Alright, it looks like even the biggest order will fit into a medium flat rate box.  The flat rate box price is $12.35 online and I expect to pay ~$5 for packing tape (~$1 a person) since I can't ever seem to find it cheap, at least not for decent tape.  So I'll be invoicing everyone for $15 to cover those costs, a little for gas, Paypal costs, and a little extra to defray any additional shipping materials I may have to purchase. 

If you'd rather I ship by weight, I can see if I can scrounge any boxes and let you know what shipping will be.

Edit:  Cost Breakdown - $12.35 flat rate shipping + $0.85 tape+ ~$0.75 PP fees + $0.50 gas + $0.55 any additional materials cost.  If I can get shipping cheaper and have no additional costs, there will be a small refund.

Again, if you have any questions, need to change anything, want to combine anything, and so on, contact me ASAP so I can work it out.
