[GB] Elvish PBT SA dye-sub & Laser Engraved Keycap set, Shipping

[sennin32]

@Sennin32： Is possible to give us a firmer delivery date estimated now?

It's already mid-March, and this was somewhere the time is set for the GB to be shipped out.

Since the printer has changed and that the time given wouldn't be quite possible,
I think it would be better that you state again when is the new dates set for shipping out?

Hi,
We've confirmed last design and sample, started manufacturing.
And will ship around late Mar to early Apr

Is that possible for me to jump in the GB right now? I don't think you guys announced the GB was back on when you started manufacturing.

The GB page on site is still up, if you're interested in joining it now. Site info is on the OP.

PS: So, I hope I didn't missed anything but I saw the spacebar in the sample was dyed green, I hoped it stays as plain white.

Hi,
It's for testing the 5 side dye-sub.
And the pic is just show that.
And we found 5 side dye-sub is not proper to make SA caps cause the color change.
The result is not very good.
So, as we mentioned, we'll change factory and refactor the design file.
But use the same way to process it.

It's already under manufacturing.
We've received some pics of the caps that already finished, few of them has printing issue now.
(off center, again)
But after communication, we've spotted what cause the issue and fixed it.
We'll receive first batch during late March.
We believe printing quality will better than the GB with same design which ran in China -0-

I believe I ordered after the production line had started. So, approximately when I will receive my caps? Am I in the second batch or my order is the same as everyone elses?

[quidpq]

Seeing at it's now April we should be expecting a shipped notification soon, yes?
Very excited to see it.

[Slagathor]

Any chance of this buy still being open, this would lead me one step closer to nerd heaven. Thanks

[Traveler]

Any updates? It's well into April and you haven't said anything. How are things coming along?

唉，有的人做事態度太糟糕，一直拿根本沒達到基本要求的東西，
還跟我說這樣已經不錯了，國內人對這個都沒意見什麼狗屁的，我實在不能接受出貨那樣的東西，
已經跟這次合作夥伴要求重作第三次了，
年後改完檔案，把所有檔案都用相當標準、精確的尺寸去做，結果工廠在重新排要符合熱昇華冶具的檔案時，
居然又歪了，這真的是很神奇，於是我又把這份檔案拿來，親自再修改一次，
才會搞到現在還在生產

其實我也超不爽，上周給他們一個比較嚴重的對話，
他們這樣搞也是影響我的信用，我根本很難跟人交代，
而且後面要開團的東西也沒辦法按照時程開始，
本來已經找到一個不錯廠家能做，雖然價格比較高，做出來會虧點錢，
但他們前兩個月都在忙著生產另一套東西，沒時間幫我做這套，
只好一步一步看他們到底哪裡出問題我自己下去改

Hi all, for those that cannot read mandarin and would like some additional details...

Sennin is now extremely frustrated with the attitude and work ethic of the people he's in contact with for manufacturing. After constantly nitpicking and re-working the design file, he finally had everything in order (already after 3 test trials) LO AND BEHOLD, the legends were crooked again! This is crazy, considering all files were standardized and very accurate. Now that the samples have come back satisfactory, production has commenced.

On a personal note, this is first group buy, and he realizes the toll on his credibility the delay will have. But he's tried his best to work with a unresponsive manufacturer (which they were lucky to find), is walking through every detail and is continuing to produce the first round of sets at a loss.

Yes, my keycaps are costing him money. I for one, will be more than happy to pay the difference once I receive them. Many thanks, 老版

Thanks, I was to translate that when Sennin32 replies but I'm ninja'd.

And to translate what I asked in mandarin exactly as well: The earlier post from traveler wasn't wrong, and it wouldn't be nice if we kept chasing Sennin32 for updates either.

Edit: that said, I still wouldn't ask for a refund but I am willing to pay the additional costs if any on top of my orders when I get mine too, this is definitely one of the sets I am really liking a lot that's not SP SA because of the Elvish legends used.

It's okay,
We're keeping ask for update from manufacturer, it's our responsibility.
It's the first time we run a GB with custom item.
We made a bad management for the quality control, and I'm totally not agree with the word from partner that he told me "This is okay".
So, I check the manufacturing several times try to figure out what goes wrong.
Finally I think I've spotted what cause the issue.
But it's delayed

[Geckt]

It's ok, we (I for one.) can wait when you are being up front with the situation.

If I didn't had any confidence in you, I would have already made a chargeback.


Edit: don't give up， 加油！

Thanks a lot for making sure quality is good. I'd much, much rather wait a few weeks (or even months) longer than to receive something of subpar quality.

Keep up the awesome work

There's really nothing to be sorry for besides it's the nature of GBs, if those that really cannot wait you should just let them have their funds back.

Anyway, those light green mods are looking pretty nice.

Don't worry too much. The only other place we can get SA style caps puts our orders on hold for 9 months and tells us they wont be helping us do more for the rest of the year.

If MaxKey would lower their mold-price we would all be happier for it.
