Did all of the invoices for the brass unit go out? I filled out the form a few days ago but haven't received an invoice, and want to make sure I'm not missing the GB.
I filled it out as well, but haven't gotten the invoice. I imagine he won't send them until he's ready to send the order off to the manufacturer.

Brass just hit the MOQ of 50 units, louis has not yet mentioned how invoicing will be done. GB is through May 31st, so it may be closer to the GB's conclusion.Did all of the invoices for the brass unit go out?

Stay tuned for more, updates are definitely faster in discord and you get to hang out with a bunch of cool people! :)

Actually filled out a second one as well, but it doesn't look like I am getting a Google form receipt after submission.If you submitted the form you're good. At 100 units some options get added for a finish (unfinished or sandblasted+UV coating) so he likely won't invoice until then. Will check with him in discord to get more info on this. :)

Easier than invoicing. If you already placed an order through his website, he will combine it. Prices are in SGD remember! The google form was more of an IC for brass to see if hitting MOQ was even possible.

It looks like the brass webpage states "Raw brass finishing" period and all info regarding sandblast/clearcoat has been removed--is this no longer happening at 100 units?

Nope, when we brought all the nutcrackers from the factory to our warehouse, we scratched/dent half of pink nutcracker's cap by careless. Other colors are good.
Will delay about 1-2 weeks.
How much is a scratched/dented nutcracker? ;D

Going to pack and ship out orders for non-pink first? Or going to delay shipment for all orders for the 1-2 weeks.

I’ve attached some pictures to show it off up close - I’ve included some images that show some very very small imperfections on the edge of the inside of both caps, but other than these (which you can only see if you’re really looking for them) the piece is perfect!

Some countries are not inside budget EMS list, so I need ask my partner ship them from China to Singapore first, then I forward it out from Singapore to buyer. So your parcel will be delayed. But I will receive it in 2-3 days, so probably I can send it out in 5 days.Hey all, I already shipped to all vendors:DIXE, DC, mykeyboard.eu

The new ones work easily with holy pandas too, not too tight. Very happy.Yeah, we did small tunings for MD holy panda, yok, etc. So it is easier to work with almost all the switches.
