Isn't that actually a positive sign?

Since you both have the same status it's rather unlikely your packages got lost. Probably just slow Custom workers

I'm not sure. Especially with $140 in keycaps they are probably just confused or very curious why a few pieces of plastic can be packaged so nicely.

To anyone who received theirs already; did it include an invoice?

Or they have mechanical keyboards in the office and play around with your precious caps

nope, no invoice with mine. and i can tell you, it caused a lot of confusion when i opened the package in front of them and they saw that it's just pieces of plastic.

that is why i want SP to let us generate our invoices from their site....paypal does not have sufficient documentation, at least according to my customs office. i have no means to declare the wares and i'm really concerned about getting the Granite set into my country.

My order is still stuck at customs (The Netherlands).
I've emailed USPS (no response yet) and my local post supplier (PostNL).
They say it usually takes 9-11 workdays to process through customs, but my package has been there since 11th of april.

I'm afraid my package will get lost/send back, anyone from The Netherlands received theirs yet or know what to do?

I do have a Dutch (PostNL) tracking number, but it shows as "Not yet available" as it is still @ customs.
I have the exact same problem. Stuck at customs since the 11th.

It won't be until the 29th, tomorrow, that those 11 working days have passed.
I have something else sitting at customs since the 23rd (a custom carrying case) so I just hope I am right.

Rynji · « **Reply #756 on:** Tue, 29 April 2014, 09:38:57 »

Looks like my package has passed customs!
It's set to deliver tomorrow, it states i have to pay €22,45 on delivery.

**** i bet i'll get stuck with a similar charge then too

skuko · « **Reply #759 on:** Tue, 29 April 2014, 10:38:58 »

yeah, in slovakia, you have to pay 20% VAT from everything above 20euro and an additional import fee for everything above 150euro i think. which makes me worried, because the granite is quite a lot of money.

Mine is still at Customs. I'll probably have to pay more, seeing as I bought the entire set.

EDIT: Mine finally cleared customs as well!

jdeblese · « **Reply #768 on:** Wed, 30 April 2014, 09:38:33 »

Maybe SP should look at finding a distributor in Europe. As in, someone who can receive all packages destined for the EU, pay the import duties in bulk, and then forward them to the respective customers. I don't expect it to be any cheaper, but customs should be easier (and maybe faster) to deal with in bulk.

that would be something! they would get a lot more orders from EU for sure, but I don't know if it is really feasible.

JaccoW · « **Reply #770 on:** Wed, 30 April 2014, 09:53:38 »

The packaging. Slightly crushed in one corner

And Thank You SP.

My invoice. For future reference.

What is in the box?

The TKL Base set + additional 6x and 7x spacebars. Also included are the non-scooped F and J keys.

The Numpad. Scooped and non-scooped '5' included. The extra black 7,8 and 9 will look nice with the black stripe and should look great on something like Duck's Lightsaver or 60% users with additional numpads.

ISO + Boring Joe’s Kit. For those far away or those who have spouses who need to use the board too.

Additional modifiers. Note the shatload of Ctrl and Capslock option.

The Black Stripe kit

Now what did I do with mine? I put them on a FC660M of course! That's the reason why I the spacebar is still grey. I have been talking to JDCarpe a while ago to have a custom plate made so it will take normal spacebar standoffs.

Very slimming

But for now I think I like this better. I think my colleagues will be scared enough with all these colours.

Krogenar · « **Reply #771 on:** Wed, 30 April 2014, 09:55:32 »

The grey spacebar makes it look even better, actually.

go with epoxy glue for the spacebar!

Just for your information, you can get a PBT spacebar from QTan whose color matches these keycaps exactly.

Well, for me the customs total was on the packaging on the outside. And this invoice was inside the package. It would probably have been better if an invoice was provided on the outside.

ideus · « **Reply #779 on:** Wed, 30 April 2014, 21:05:41 »

Granite was a best seller, thus SP should take proper care of its manufacturing, and distribution processes well, including proper quality control. I have high hopes for the final product, in terms of its quality and proper delivery.

The SA sphericals feel much better in combination with mx brown switches than the Macross DSA keycaps though so that's why I put them back. I don't know what it is, but the DSA keycaps really brought out the "grain" in the mx brown switches, and they feel much better to type on now that they are on my mx blue board.
