Title: [GB] Mill Max Sockets (EU) R4 - GB Complete
Post by: piit79 on Sat, 25 January 2020, 08:14:25

If you fancy making your next board hotswappable, you've come to the right place :)

• Mill Max socket 7305 - 0.21 GBP per socket (shorter, thinner flange, gold plated)
• Mill Max socket 0305 - 0.10 GBP per socket (longer, thicker flange, tinned)

You will need 2 sockets per switch.

Shipping: 4 GBP to Europe, 6 GBP to rest of the world. However, if you're in the US you're really better off getting these locally.

• No MOQ on individual orders. We just need to reach 2500 total order quantity for each socket type to get the lowest price point. If we don't reach the lowest price break the cost will be slightly higher (e.g. 0.13 GBP @ 500 for 0305s)
• Price includes 21% VAT and 5% PayPal fees
• Payment by PayPal in GBP (unfortunately I'm unable to withdraw Euros so I'd be screwed on currency exchange)
• The GB will open for two weeks until Sunday 9 February 2020
• I will send out invoices shortly after the GB closes. Unpaid invoices will be cancelled after 24 hours and order placed with Mouser
• Shipping from Mouser to me will take ~5 working days
• Once received I will count and pack the sockets and send them out to you within 2-3 of days

Sure, no rush! I'm going to reconsider ending the GB early, don't want to disappoint people who might be counting with the original deadline.

Aw, no LED sockets this time, eh?  I'm set for the 0305's but need more of those tiny buggers.

Yeah, I have to admit I did not enjoy counting/weighing those at all. They're so tiny! So I selfishly skipped them this time. Sorry!

Title: Re: [GB] Mill Max Sockets (EU) R4 - Invoices sent
Post by: piit79 on Mon, 10 February 2020, 08:26:28

UPDATE: all invoices have been sent around midday today and over a half have been paid already (thanks!). The order will be placed with Mouser as soon as all invoices have been paid, but around midday on Tuesday (UTC) at the latest (unpaid invoices will be canceled).

Then final numbers are pretty staggering to me, wasn't expecting so much interest!

• 7305: ~7,300
• 0305: ~10,000

Due to the unexpectedly high number of orders the fulfillment might take a day or two later, depending on how much time I'll be able to dedicate to it.
