RO-59 SuperLube GB
« on: Sat, 28 October 2017, 00:09:24 »
Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your interest.  We’ve gotten in touch with the manufacturer and have finalized our order. There will be no MOQ since we will be covering any costs necessary to make sure this GB goes through.  We will be offering the lubricant in quantities of 1.8ml units, but there will be no limit on orders.  If you are a vendor and wants to stock RO-59, please contact us separately at goosekeyboards@gmail.com and mention RO-59 in the subject. 

If you are unfamiliar with RO-59, it is a rare lubricant. While popular in Korea, it is rarely seen in the Western world. We spoke to the manufacturers to obtain the best lube specifically for keyboards.

Photo (Yeah this probably isn't the best photo, but it's the only one we have from the manufacturer):
181017-0" alt="" class="bbc_img" />

Pricing:
Each vial of 1.8 ml lube will cost 5 dollars + Shipping
   If you are CONUS, shipping will cost 3 dollars.
   If you are international, shipping will cost 15 dollars.
        If you are in the EU, shipping is 9 dollars through our proxy! (Big thanks to mechboards.co.uk)
        If you are in Canada, shipping is 13 dollars. This is the best USPS could do for us, factoring in shipping costs.


Timeline:
GB opens--10/28/2017
GB Closes--11/30/2017
Invoices Start--12/1/2017
Payment Deadline--12/14/2017
Payment to Manufacturer--12/14/2017
Lube Arrives--12/17/2017
Lube Goes out--12/20/17 (just in time for Christmas, although this really depends on how many orders we get)


GB ORDER FORM: https://goo.gl/forms/2wuFjuTvfRvS63xt2


If you have any specific questions, please email us at: Support@goosekbd.com

UPDATE 12/21/17: Lube has arrived later than expected. We will take photos and begin on packaging the lube, but shipping it out will be delayed until it is all packed.

1.26.17: Quick photos: https://imgur.com/a/ty5ic . Lube is packaged and we will work on shipping out now. Sorry for the delays!

Sucks!

I thought the whole purpose of mentioning it on here was because there was going to be a GB on here?

It was submitted at the same time, but I guess they didn't expect approval to take 3 and a half weeks either.

Greets all!

We did not expect this to be approved so late, however, it could be a good thing. We've extended the deadline since we have been working on getting an EU proxy for EU buyers. I will update the original post to reflect the changes, however, the deadline is now extended since this post was approved late.

Although we haven't tested this lube on silent switches, it should be safe on any switch that you can already lube with Krytox.

Will it be coming from the factory pre-packaged in the two sizes offered?
Curious if there will be any manufacturer identification to show that said lube actually came from ro59inc?

The factory only sells in 5 gallon or 55 gallon sizes. We will be separating it and selling it, however, we can upload photos of the 5 gallon drum when we receive it.

I'll double check, however, I believe it is around 12-13 dollars. Sadly it isn't much cheaper, but that was the best USPS could do for us.

If it's through us, then it would be standard international shipping. If it's through the EU proxy, the shipping cost should be much lower.

Since we haven't heard anything about the EU proxy yet.
Will the GB be extended if there is one? Will placed orders be shifted to the proxy if we fill the form out now? Will we be able to cancel the order in case the proxy doesn't happen?
The GB is supposed to end soon and I would really like to get in on it, but only if the EU proxy is happening.

We do have an EU proxy. We are working with Mechboards.co.uk to proxy orders. Orders filled out on the form, with an address within the EU, will be sent through the proxy. You can cancel an order if the proxy doesn't go through by sending an email to our support email.

I'm sure that it does last longer, but that was the quote from the manufacturer. They are probably conservative with their numbers to avoid liability.
