Yup, seems like it'll be shipping in early October, I'll be updating the shipping estimates and sending an email round to buyers soon!

UKKeycaps · « **Reply #51 on:** Sun, 04 September 2016, 09:39:39 »

I have sent around an update email to all customers!

New shipping date is 10th of October, further delays unlikely

I didn't get an email! Not a complaint, just a heads-up.

chuckdee · « **Reply #53 on:** Tue, 06 September 2016, 07:54:51 »

^ I didn't either. But I purchased from the site after the GB. Not sure if that was the reason.

Oblotzky · « **Reply #54 on:** Fri, 09 September 2016, 11:07:03 »

Just purchased Base + Mods + Num + Nov. The lack of import taxes was definitely a factor in this totally-not-an-impulse buy

Though I must say the Novelty set is a bit stale compared to the likes of Nantucket Selectric, but I do love me some more red! Basically a 16gbp enter key I guess

I will step-up the novelty game for the next group-buy

Happyham · « **Reply #56 on:** Fri, 23 September 2016, 21:33:51 »

so... I bought this set with the intention of doing a TKL plus a Num pad... but i'm looking at these 75% and 68 key layouts and I really am thinking that is going to be the board for me. By any chance did anyone purchase additional non-standard kits they'd be willing to sell?

DSA is uniform profile so chances are you will be able to fit your board just fine, unless there's any specific keys missing? If you leave a picture or KLE layout of the board you're trying to fit it might be better.

So the big things I'll need for the 68 key board i want (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/red-scarf-ii-68-key-custom-keyboard-kit) are a 1.75u shift key and 1u Ctrl, Alt, and Meta/Super keys. Below is the Layout for reference.

I have some extra bits coming... I have got the Base, Modifier, Novelty and Non standard set coming to make one full TKL set... so there will be plently of leftover keys including the Ansi layout stuff...

once you finish your board let me know what you have left over and we can work out the details

Is it too late to jump onto this Group buy ? if not, how can I join ?

UKKeycaps · « **Reply #67 on:** Tue, 25 October 2016, 18:15:07 »

Sorry! All sets sold out. If I have any spare at the end of shipping I might auction it with a few other goodies.

Shipping will start on the 7th of November without delay (unless of course there is some major delay

)

I will have teaser images of the actual keycaps for you all by the end of the week. Production is pretty much done, SP is checking and packing.

These are actually in the UK, just in customs currently. I will need to be notified, pay the customs charge and then I'll get my hands on them. Just a little more patience required.

Of course if your patience has run out, refunds are still available!

It is unfortunate, but understandable, that you don't have control of the entire supply chain, so depend on others, and sometimes their estimates are not spot on. But you've been communicative at every step of the way, and I have no trepidation that I won't receive it, so this has been a good buy for me.

Is it held by CCL? I have had more luck just ringing them directly and giving them the tracking reference number, they will then give you the payment ref and amounts to pay, then you can go to the website and pay it directly, their customs payment slips routinely take 1 week or more to get to me, and I am too impatient for that.

DSA Royal Navy Shipping Update 3 - The Final Stretch!
The image above is an image of DSA Royal Navy in natural light. Unfortunately the nature of this email is to inform of a further delay to the shipping of the keysets.

Signature Plastics have sent all the keycaps to MechSupply as 6 seperate consignments, 3 of these cosignments have arrived and therefore real images of the keyset can be showcased. However, shipping cannot begin until the reamining 3 boxes arrive. These packages are being held currently in UK customs, pending review of paperwork which has been submitted. Therefore the exact date of shipping cannot be estimated due it depending on how fast customs processes the remaining packages. A rough estimation of 2 weeks from this date is appropriate.
Therefore the new estimated date for the start of shipping is 28th of November 2016. Apologies for the delay in shipping of this group-buy and for any inconvenience caused. I appreciate there have been numerous delays to this group-buy, however all have been out of the control of MechSupply. If you would like to cancel your order and receive a refund, this is still a possibility. Reply to this email if you have any questions or queries regarding the group-buy.

A few more points for you all:

There will be no more delays, the keysets are 100% guaranteed to ship on or before the date stated on the product page (therefore they'll arrive in November for most customers)
It seems there will be a few sets left, these will be sold as special edition sets, with a few extra goodies/keys/bits thrown in
More high-res pics to come
