[GB] GSKT-00 (Shipping almost finished, 80% done)

[joshuarubin]

We’re talking gskt here. Wasn’t the original gb estimate like 90 days? I don’t care how easy tofu O-rings are to source, gskt O-rings will take 6-12 times that.

Because gskt.

[Fnzzy]

He already paid for like 300 o-rings. What's he gonna do, keep them? Charge you shipping twice when they come in?

Keep them. O-rings are easy to source for people who are willing to take their boards now.

[Fnzzy]

And just take the loss? Don't think so.

[joshuarubin]

Why even argue this? It would require logistical coordination with buyers. That’s simply not happening in this gb.

[chayu]

I don't think buyers will mind so much if he simply keeps the orings we paid for. But then he'll have a bunch of random o rings lying around.... environmental waste for a couple of impatient guys.

[DukeEsquire]

And just take the loss? Don't think so.

What do you mean loss? GB runner has already been paid. There is no loss. It's a win for him if anything since he could always sell the o-rings or whatever.

As if this hobby isn't an environmental waste...

My apologies, me's gots the brain damage.

I don't know what you're talking about. GMK even changed the packaging of their entirely plastic product to have a bit less plastic…

[clik_clak]

I really don't understand how gaskets can take 4 months. Look at the J01-rev1 GB. It took Jae a week to resolve the gasket issue he ran into with the GB....A week...

Maybe time for a mod to step in and give Weaston a nudge again. He obviously has no respect for his customers...You know, the people that have given him 10's of thousands of dollars.

Update

My shipping info for the gaskets says they'll be here next week, what day I don't know, it just says next week.  When they come I'll post showing them.

Once they're in my hands you'll be seeing shipping notifications.

I don't want to tell you how to run your GB because I don't know the full context to your personal life, but with all the misinformation happening in this thread (that's spanning thousands of comments at this point), I think it will do both you and your customers a great favor if you setup some sort of monthly or bimonthly update cycle. Even if there is no news, it would help calm your customers down. It's mostly a trust thing.

It's easy to think that running a GB is simply sending the product to someone that gave you money, but only those that have ran GBs before know that it's almost a full-time job where you wear multiple hats including customer service when keeping everyone up to date.

Observing this thread, every few months there's a new thing that pops up here, both those that are genuinely concerned or people looking to eat some popcorn. Some of that is caused by your inactivity and absence, really.

Anyways, not my GB, and I know worldwide logistics + manufacturing right now is in the gutters due to COVID alongside you know, there being a pandemic that affects real lives..

Hope all is well on your side..

Feels like a great time to look at all of those address requests you got piled up in that case.

[Sifo]

take your time buddy, hope you're well

[catamscott]

great news about the o-rings, but also curious if the address changes have been processed. i emailed the address associated with the paypal invoices with an address change and haven't heard back. not sure if they were processed in silence (or are actively being processed) but a heads-up on current status and deadline of when to get address changes in would be super appreciated.

[cfox21]

Did the gaskets arrive this week?

[Tekniqs]

Did the gaskets arrive this week?

probably not. lol what's the hold up with these gaskets that they're taking over 4 months to arrive

[jpg2401]

I understand things happen, but is there a reason as to why the gaskets weren't ordered when the boards were?

translate: Ok peasants, gaskets might arrive next week. Stop bothering me, be thankful for this update. You don't deserve my time.

[Zeelobby]

Haha. The angst

Honestly at this point it's rather unimportant. People are more concerned about Weaston posting updates on the information that has been asked:
- ​Have the o-rings been delivered?
- If so when will the shipping start?
- If not when is the new ETA?
- Have the address changes been accounted for?

That would already be a step in the right direction.

[chriszhu]

Can we not just get our own o-rings?

[L8T]

O-Rings have been delivered. We are now waiting on packaging foam, the shipping info says it will arrive next month. Will show pictures of packaging foam when it arrives. Expect shipping notification very soon.

[joshuarubin]

Wait, wut? Who dat?

Honestly can’t tell if it’s a troll or someone who has spoken with weaston.

[loopaddiction]

Here's hoping e-mails and requests are looked at before shipping starts. I sent a couple e-mails way back, the first about a year ago, but no response.

[nikkynak]

Once the packaging form has arrived, we can place the order for the cardboard boxes. Can't wait!

why is it called a pogchamfer when everything in boards is a fillet? pogfillet.

when you can no longer tell who's trolling, who's a friend/associate, and who's actually providing the updates anymore

Then after boxes arrive, Weaston can order tape! That should only take 5-6 more months, but it's ok! He'll show pics of the tape once it arrives.

After that, he can order bubble wrap! But he can only order 1 bubble at a time, and each bubble takes about a day to produce, too. Should have all the bubble wrap in...7 or so years.

This GB is ridiculous.

[Tekniqs]

Hard to believe  these orings are really taking 4+ months to arrive.. It's seemingly readily available from other vendors.

[joshuarubin]

OK. That's it. I'm not shaving until I have my gskt in hand. ZZ Top, here I come!

[ctrl+shift+n]

Will keep an eye on this

That would be pretty funny though.

On a serious note, gaskets are all here, sorry I haven't posted a picture yet (soon ^tm).

I went through today and updated all address changes I could find (from geekhack and discord, I still need to respond to direct emails).  If you did not get a response about an address change and you sent it on geekhack or discord then please send another.  Shipping is happening very very soon so if you have a new address change please let me know as well.

Again sorry for the wait, not much longer now.

[chriszhu]

Exciting!

[Fnzzy]

I forget what flavour of international shipping we're getting. Was it DHL Express or something else?

[Quriosity]

Thanks for the update - looking forward to getting this board! 

[FootGlove]

I believe so, I wouldn't mind if it was UPS though, been having bad experiences with DHL recently

[loopaddiction]

Thanks for the update weaston!

Any details for those who elected to get their GSKT cerakoted? Done or currently underway?

I sent an e-mail some time ago requesting a change in my cerakote color, so I'm hoping that it can be addressed before everything is finalized.

[treeleaf64]

Yoo I can't wait for everyone to get their tofu!! Send a pic of those little thockmeisters!

[joshuarubin]

OK. That's it. I'm not shaving until I have my gskt in hand. ZZ Top, here I come!

Getting pretty shaggy here...
