[GB] RAMA M4-A [SHIPPED]

[Slash Emperor]

Cheers jchan, gonna have to individually unpackage all these and repackage them with my packaging. MISSION.

Ever have one of those days where it feels like the some total of life is moving physical objects from one place to another according to complicated rules and procedures that look, from an alien perspective, inscrutably insane?

Maybe that's just me.

That's life.

And Rama and jchan should feel bad. I haven't even gotten these in yet and I'm already lusting over the M65.

[eyedrop]

Those turns out very nice.  Now send me a red one instead of the space grey I ordered.  Pretty please?

Limited edition red colours? So pretty O_O

Yeeboi. The red actually came out super vivid :o

Is this a sign that M4-A might be available again in the future with different colours? That red case is sexy

It'll make it's return again one day, so much work packaging these X_X Perhaps, I'll look into other avenues :)

Hehe sorry bro! Really looking forward to the M65, jchan has ordered the prototype, should be in his hands in the next week or so :)

Those turns out very nice.  Now send me a red one instead of the space grey I ordered.  Pretty please?   :p

Heh, wasn't really sure if I was going to like the red myself. But seeing it in person, it's so vivid and eye catching :o

Yeah dude! Man I would be screwed if I didn't have my gf help me pack it all together  :'( 

[KingRama]

Hey all,

everything is still being packaged, apologies it's taking so long A lot going on in my life right now
There's a lot of different components involved with this product, and I just want it to be right for when you guys get it.
Time really adds up when all these separate processes are involved, but I think it'll make a big difference for when you get it!
Luck-fully I have my very supportive girlfriend helping out with the packaging!

Did 1/3 of the PCBs today! Here's a video:

And here's the final packaging:


And some mess:

LOL I BET!  :))

Alsooooo, backlighting!

[KingRama]

Almost there guys. Saturday night and packaged most of the M4's until I ran out of bubblewrap, only a few left to go now. Going to go buy some more bubblewrap tomorrow


(these haven't been labelled yet)

Then all that's left is to print the shipping labels and chuck em on and put everything together :]

[xondat]

I knew I'd regret it, kept telling myself I have no use for it. 

[KingRama]

I knew I'd regret it, kept telling myself I have no use for it. 

Ah mate, you saved me a lot of effort by not getting one anyways haha

The thought of doing another package is haunting 

[KingRama]

Alright guys, almost there. Had a bit of an upsetting weekend filled with depressing news

All components to be packed are now complete! Just need to be placed into each individual order



Took forever, but hopefully you guys will enjoy unboxing it all

New shipping label design:


Also chucking in something extra, I'll leave it to you guys to guess what it is




So tomorrow (Monday), I'll put all orders together in each package. Tuesday I will ship US orders. Wednesday I will ship remaining orders.

Thank you all for your patience <3 And big thanks to my partner in helping me package all these things, that poor girl

[KingRama]

All 100% Packaged!

Here's an unboxing video to show what you get:

Here's all the packages to ship. Will be shipping US orders in the morning and all the rest the next day

Also, what I really like about this is things are in metric. That pleases me

Guys... super annoying news. Eugh.

Went to the post office today, packages are too thick 

Will be delayed another day, will have to repackage all of them So sorry everyone again from the delay.

With the way they are packaged now, it would cost an exorbitant amount of money to ship all of them this way. So will be repackaging them tonight and shipping USA orders tomorrow.

I've already lost too much money with this sale :/

Once again, apologies all ierjgeorigjreerger

Can I fight him to the death for it? Maybe a good ol' fashion game of fisticuffs?

[fendent]

I know I'd be willing to chip in to help offset your losses too. You shouldn't be spending all this time and effort and taking a loss in the end too. Don't feel shy to reach out

[Data]

Dang.  Aus Post must be some rigid ****s, eh?  Charging more because "too thick"...

USPS be like: If it fits, it ships.

Oh man, I hadn't even read your post above. That's a real **** situation - auspost y u do dis  Best of luck! Hope it gets sorted with minimal losses because you have definitely gone above and beyond your average groupbuy to thoughtfully consider the broader product experience keep flexing those ID chops!

I don't know about fisticuffs, but I do prefer my chances at racing to see who can fall asleep at their desk the fastest.. to the death  Fingers crossed there's enough left over for both of us!

Nawhh mate, honestly, it's all good At the end of the day, I just want people to be enjoying/using the products I make - that's the rewarding part for me I wouldn't ask you guys to pay for my mistakes :[

Nawhh dude, you don't have to. S'all good <3

[KingRama]

All orders have now shipped!

Now AusPost say 6 business days for US orders, but obviously leave up to 2-3 weeks for it to arrive. Judging from the last GB, it was closer to the 1 and a half week mark.
But as shipping/customs/etc goes, things can take longer than expected.

Thank you all for your patience

[jchan94]

Got tracking. Hyped to get this in.

Woo hoo! Got the confirmation.

Great work though, thanks!

Oh dudee!! SWEEETT!! Post photos when you get it all together! The waiting game is on now


ALSO! EVERYONE! If you want the M4 to be more stable than the default rubber feet position, place the rubber feet over the screws rather than in its placeholders!

Amazing work Glad to see them out the door finally! Must've been a hell of a job.

I'm gonna solder in dem switches tomorrow - wish I had some SIP sockets left over - this is actually the perfect kit for it

Is there going to be an option to get an M10 without the massderp logo by any chance?

Sweet! Can't wait to see

I'm not sure, they are actually manufacturing the M10 - so they are putting in a lot of work to make it a reality. We've been working closely together to achieve a result I'm happy with
