[GB]GMK Blue on Black (Signal) - All shipped and Finish GB

[cocobrais]

[16.04.2018]
All sets were shipped and I didn't find any issue after shipping during 1~1.5 months.
So GB finished.

All participants and proxies! Thanks alot.


[28/02/2018]
Yesterday I checked status and received the feedback from GMK.
- Production Done
- Started packaging add-on Kit.
- GMK expect to ship this Friday.

I will update more, if GMK ship this to us

[20/02/2018]
Status update.
I have been checking to pay the payment to GMK and yesterday receive the feedback.
All payment was paid to GMK.
And one good news,
GMK said that this sets are ready in production and will be ready for shipping soon.
It is very fast schedule than expected.

Maybe next update will be news about finishing production or shipping information from GMK.


[14/01/2018]
GB closed.
Just about 60% of MOQ was joined but all proxies share the extra sets. So we can progress this GB.
I will request the invoice to GMK this week and if all proxies will pay the payment to GMK, I will inform this in this thread.

Many thank to GB proxies and joined members.   

[09/01/2018]
I have been gathering the counts.
Definitely I estimate the counts as only 50~55% of MOQ, even though 1 week extended.
So I request to proxies that proxies have or not the in-house stock. (in my case, base 30set, LED+Spacebar 20set)
Maybe GB will be decided by in-house stock counts.

I and all proxies try to progress the GB even though current count is very low.
So I and proxies open the GB until deciding the progress. (Maybe this Friday)
I hope that we will make the good decision.

Thanks.

[28/12/2017]
X-Mas season is so hard to progress GB. 

I discussed GB period extension to reach the MOQ with proxys and all agree this.
So GB will be closed on 7/1/2018.

I really hope that MOQ will be reached.
Also as I promised before, if base 120 set, LED and space bar 80 set will be reached, I will progress. 

Please understand GB period extension.

I think he means to say that Donut will handle all other countries besides the EU and Korea. Would probably be easier than trying to translate the Korean on kbdlab.

kbdlab is just old-school "fill out a form and wait"

shipping from US -> AUS is ridiculously expensive

sorry for late reply.
Korea is using bank transfer system. So if I consider the paypal fee and exchange rate, price will be below,

- base : 155usd
- led space : 30usd
- shipping : 26usd

I think that it does not have merit to you.
But if you have friend in Korea, would be helpful.

[mudcakehoney]

Thanks for the info cocobrais, I'll order through donutcables if it's the same price. Cheers

Yo!  Brother.
Come on

USD. As I mentioned before, Korea is bank transfer system. And exchange rate, Paypal fee are big influence on result cost. So I joined the proxys to provide this set with resonable price.

So I have to add the number was paricipated during 2 day.

[amnesia0287]

Gotcha, and all good.

That makes me sad, doesn't seem like it's gonna get close enough the rate it's going >_<. I wish I could afford to order more than 1 right now just to increase chances lol.

I hope that MOQ will be reached and closed asap. Also order to GMK. But not easy. But maybe we will be able to reach the MOQ....hope that...

[poolside]

I thought this set would fare way better and placed my order early in order not to miss out.
We seem to be stuck at 50 whereas Burgundy's MOQ was reached in about 10 days

Yes, burgundy was reached just 10days. This set number have been elevating slowly.
I really wanted to get this set and so I tried to get more competive price.
As a result, GMK give very good quotation and maybe this set is low price than other similar set.
I hope that we will reach the MOQ...really want.

Ah, they have a rule account must be 30 day old and have 10 "karma" points. Mainly to not have new accounts for trading/selling, but for promoting GB that wouldn't matter, but no exceptions to rule.

GB Period is extended to reach MOQ as 1 week.
I don't know that we will be able to reach or not the MOQ. But I will do my best.
