wouldn't you still have to pay all of the taxes, it would just get rolled into the initial price?
You're right, but there's also the brokerage (duties) element that can vary wildly in price when packages go through customs. It's much preferred to be able to budget for a set without surprises through a proxy.

Correct, I can look into this but I have a feeling that volume in Canada won't be large enough to actually make it much cheaper for customers since there are added costs (shipping from GMK to the proxy being more expensive per set at low volumes, additional operational costs and profit margins for the proxy etc).

It’s a custom colour (RAL), don’t think any other set uses it.

Looking at GMK Rudy right now, the Canadian cost for the base set is quite reasonable (189CAD versus 172CAD post-conversion on Cannonkeys) after taking into account all the factors you mentioned. Even the base duty fees are a minimum of $10 before adding on tax when receiving a set as an individual.

Hopefully you can give it some thought!

That's partially because Deskhero applies taxes afterwards during the payment section, so it would actually be 189.99 + 13.39 for shipping (for me, around the same as shipping from cannonkeys actually), then 13% tax on both results in 26.44 in additional taxes. So not really much difference in the end(?). so the cost of the actual set would be around 215 (190*1.13), only a better deal if you expect to pay more than $43 in duty fees when buying from the US proxy.

That seems well within the realm of typical fees that someone would encounter for a set coming in from the states; which is the whole point of the Canadian proxy, to stabilize the costs: I know I'll be paying 215 for the set versus the possibility of paying even more at the door from a US vendor.

It also reduces shipment time in a way for us Canadian folks. Once a cdn proxy sends it out it would reach us in a few days. Where as shipping from the us could take weeks, depending how long customs wants to hold on to the package.   Just whole less uncertainty if a cdn proxy was available.

I second this. I’d love to see something minimalist just like they did for 9009.

I really dig this, I have wanted a GMK Muted R2 for some time now and this one looks very similar to GMK Muted.
I hope there is a Europe based site that will also sell GMK Modern Dolch Light.

I didn't see the coloured variants of the X keycap under alternatives. Only grey - are the pink and green versions of the X escape key be made as well? Would be a big miss if not.

Hey everyone!

First a general update on timing, GMK Modern Dolch Light will run in February from the 2nd until March 1st!

Secondly, a popular request was having proper Apple style icons for the bottom row in the Modern Kit. We're considering changing the kit to the one linked below. We'd love some extra feedback on this kit though and have made a form for that. Secondly, we're also slightly worried making the kit full Apple style might "eat up" the command kit. So if you're still interested in that kit please fill out the form too!

Personally, I prefer the diamonds to the apple command icon and I feel like the majority of buyers aren't mac users. I use both, but would still prefer the universal icons.

Artisan lettering can be either the best or the worst.


But even the worst artisan lettering is better than post-it lettering!

I personally much prefer the new Apple styled icons, and would definitely buy that. I already got MoDo and never use the Icon kit because the diamond looks so weird in my eyes.
Thanks for considering the change and no what result I am looking forward to it!
