Patience, you can all trust Feng will get what you ordered to you. Just forget you ordered anything so that when it shows up it'll be a complete surprise!

That is impossible! This will be my first PBT set. I can't stop thinking about them and how they will feel on my finger ips. I know this isn't his first time doing a group buy and he is a trusted community member. I just have to be patient . Hopefully we will hear from him very soon.

This is how they lure us in. With cheap decent quality stuffs. Then when we get moar, next thing you know its $100-200 sets.

I realized this when I look at other group buys, and then look at my bank account.

Feng, You did not list my name on the "paid" list, i paid and filled out the form on the 10th of January.

jabar · « **Reply #303 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 13:50:17 »

I think he last updated the list on the 4th (not shown since there was a more recent moderator edit).

I'm about to place an order, still deciding if I want the cheaper White or the Blue, mostly for my black cased Filco. Any opinions?

This is from a classified ad here, and I think it's a similar PBT set:

Is it still possible to order a colored set? I know it said you were going to stop taking orders on the 15th.

He said he was extending the GB as he was (is?) ill, having just come back from China I believe. I am going to place an order either today or tomorrow.

Ok, great. Thanks! In for 1 Rainbow keyset

This will look great on my Filco.

My Filco is naked without a WYSE set to put on it.

The crazies pounded on the gates of the poor, sick, PBT peddler's home... everyone felt guilty for making demands, but not guilty enough to put out their torches.

**queue music**

Cold and scared feng tried to reach his door, but the piles of Kleenex and private messages prevented a speedy response.

I really like these, but wish there was a black set. Hopefully something like this happens in the future

He sent out my eBay shipment recently and told me in a PM that the PBT orders would ship out soon. That's all I know.

dohboi · « **Reply #313 on:** Tue, 22 January 2013, 17:52:33 »

Not yet, but I'm being patient. I have a lot to be shipped from him too.

Jocelyn · « **Reply #314 on:** Tue, 22 January 2013, 18:28:22 »

Ugh I really want to buy a set of these. Does anyone have any idea how close the gray set is to Imstos gray sets in color? They look somewhat lighter, but it's so hard to tell.

The only other image of the gray that I found was on a listing on taobao... it also had an image of the WYSE set.
They appear to be way lighter than imsto's (I had a set of his gray PBT), but IMO the lighter gray looks better.

Vintage · « **Reply #316 on:** Fri, 25 January 2013, 16:51:20 »

Gonna trade in some games tomorrow to get some cash for a set of these. Decided that it's just too good of a deal to pass up, and should look pretty nice on my QFR.

I can settle for the font I guess.

IDK why though but its hard to get my paypal to work, it wants me to send ID to add funds, maybe it will work with thye maneypak card though. If not I guess i'll send it to them $:-\$

Anyway I hope feng will still be taking orders for this tommorow.

Kiniro · « **Reply #317 on:** Fri, 25 January 2013, 18:32:41 »

I have to be honest...where are our keys? It's been ten days since the group buy was supposed to end. I feel like we should have heard something by now.

I mean no offense to Feng. I just want to have some clue as to when my keyset will even ship.

that's lighter than I expected. Not too bad!

Ok.... so when I send the payment for a full white set with standard shipping to the hotmail account listed, do I send $39 (#$35 + $4) or $39 + 3.5% for fees. I don't get the wording in the OP.

Help please

I believe you should first ask if there are any left.

Vintage · « **Reply #324 on:** Sat, 26 January 2013, 12:17:48 »

True... apparently there was only 40... but if necessary I might get the white/gray set instead.

I hope feng starts answering soon though.

Wirer · « **Reply #325 on:** Sat, 26 January 2013, 16:57:10 »

Seriously. Where is Feng. I paid and sent in order on the 8th and I'm not even on the list, let alone getting my shipment :[

I have an outstanding PM about combining shipping with his keycap puller, about week unanswered, and I filled his order form out anyway. As long as he processes everyone's order & accepts payment when he comes back, I'm ok.

But there are a few who have paid a month ago still patiently waiting.

All good thick pbt caps come to those who wait. To be honest...the longer this goes on the better chance I have of getting another set.

feng · « **Reply #331 on:** Sat, 26 January 2013, 21:13:45 »

I'll update the order list tomorrow and ship out some of the orders on Monday. I have about 20+ white sets and 9 colored sets on hand, the rest of the colored sets should be shipped to me within a week or two from China.

The orders for white sets have been exceeded 40 sets, so I'll refund those who is after the 40th order.

jabar · « **Reply #332 on:** Sat, 26 January 2013, 21:26:46 »

If I don't get a white set I think I'll go with a blue set instead...

Vintage · « **Reply #333 on:** Sat, 26 January 2013, 21:34:38 »

Is it too late to order a white/grey set or blue set???

If so, do I need to give the payment with a 3.5% fee?

Will those of us who missed the 40 set deadline be able to change our order?

Most likely he'll refund and then you can just reorder. Will be much simpler for him.

Where is the update? I need to know if you've gotten my order or not, since you haven't replied to my PM, or the paypal payment, or the google docs form I submitted.

Just for all those who are new to group buys. Don't expect a confirmation on your order. Consider this. One person has to coordinate the packaging, labeling, and shipping of all of these orders. He gets a payment with and address, he packs your order, puts your address on it and sends it on its way. Going through matching forum names with paypal payments and messaging each and every one of the more than 50 people who placed order is asking a bit much. This isn't amazon. If you sent your money, you'll get your product. Filling his inbox with special requests and asking for comfirmation will only slow the process, not just for you, but everyone involved. Just be patient.

bazemk1979 · « **Reply #343 on:** Tue, 29 January 2013, 00:41:44 »

hey feng I believe people dont need PM's from you everytime you ship something, but updating the list with who ordered, who paid and who's set was shipped would be your best bet. For example I paid for the set but dont see my name on the list at all.

feng · « **Reply #344 on:** Tue, 29 January 2013, 00:46:20 »

Will have to charge a bit more on shipping for international orders. I just noticed that the international first class packages no longer cost about $6, the few sets I sent out yesterday cost above $12! Damn...

Also the USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box International raised from $16.95 to $23.95.

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #349 on:** Tue, 29 January 2013, 17:31:39 »

Thank you for the update!

I'm currently ordering from you a grey thick PBT set and the MKC stainless steel keycap puller, and I was wondering if I can do combine shipping for the two orders or must I pay for shipping separately for each? Once this is confirmed, I will send payment immediately. Thank you!
