GIGANTIC CM STORM AWESOME CREATIVE FUN THING **READ THIS FIRST**

[rowdy]

c'mon parcelforce

for reference, these guys have been waiting for their covers for TWO WEEKS. they're stuck in customs :|

and the hilarious thing is i that i shelled out for priority mail express international (3-5 days anywhere in the world) for them :|

there aren't enough rolleyes in the world  to express how unhappy i am about this.

Damn that one British postal worker who intercepts stuff :/

I say we setup a sting operation with a GPS tracker inside a keyboard or something.

Great - then some anonymous British postal worker gets not only new QFR case tops, but also some neat GPS hardware.

ahahaha

the australian brings the smack down on the royal mail

No ammunition though - he has cut them up to make keycaps.

UK-WATCH 2013: ROYAL MAIL HAS ATTEMPTED DELIVERY TO PHOTEKQ. EAT THAT CUSTOMS YAAAAAA MURRICA

[mkawa]

actually customs gave him a bill for 4 times the declared and real value of the package. sigh. it's been paid. he should have them today or tomorrow and reship them within the UK.

Are the coupons only supposed to be redeemable by those living in the US? I tried applying the code after estimating shipping costs and it said that my shipping address doesn't meet the location requirements. I should probably note that I live in BC, Canada.

[MTManiac]

my tops showed up today!

time for some fun!!! 

[mkawa]

yes, the code only applies to US shipping. carter and i are literally talking about how to best serve internationals right now. obviously what i did with the UK folks was a colossal failure; lesson learned, fixes hopefully incoming.

[mkawa]

although the end date is still TBA, consider it to be at least 45 days from now if not more. you still have plenty of time to order, receive your order, start experimenting and learn from all the master classes being given in the making qfr tops together forum

[mkawa]

heads up! i will be vending CM STORM QFR TOP CASES, limit 4 per user, international shipping A-OK. I will have limited stock, so internationals will take priority.

Would they fit on a Filco MJ2 TKL?

[mkawa]

no idea!

I think so there is one stand off on the QFR top you have to snip off and you will have to do a little modding to get the cable out the back.

[mkawa]

This has ceased to be a contest and will shortly become A LIFESTYLE

details forthcoming

[mkawa]

the basic idea is that this is never going to have a concrete endpoint. we're just going to chat every once in a while, congratulate everyone for being awesome, give some swag out, then let everyone get back to work. MAKE AWESOME STUFF PEOPLE!!!

[tricheboars]

ok i ordered a black one for 5 bucks! i painted my original qfr rapid case baby pink so i am not sure what i want to do with this one. maybe something crazy like what bunnylakes splatter caps look like but on a case. not sure. maybe i should spraypaint it gold or some ****. or maybe white. or maybe sky blue, or maybe....


where are people going to post all the awesome things we do to these cases? i really wish i could get a clear one. that would be awesome.

I didn't see this contest til just now!

I see the coupon is expired as of 9/30. Any plans to renew it? I'd like to try my hand at painting! Thanks!

You should PM mkawa he can probably help you out.

[Tym]

Only just noticed what you said about me  )

Although maybe a privatized postal service will work better? Probably not.

[mkawa]

the coupon should not have expired. will get that fixed.

[mkawa]

I think we're looking at sometime next week for the first powow and smoke alarm awarding ceremony

[mkawa]

and yes, while the coupon is bugging out, if you're anywhere but canada, feel free to PM me for cases.

[mkawa]

coupon is working again folks!

[MsYutai]

coupon is working again folks!

Thanks much, cases are on the way 

[Repulsel]

coupon seems to have expired on 31st of October 2013

Just got the same error. I'd love a few more to play around with.

[mkawa]

there will be more. i have quite a few and i've pinged CM on their availability and willingness to continue the coupon. i'm about to archive this forum, so watch the worklog forum stickies for information about obtaining more covers.
