Title: [GB] GMK Arctic [In Production - Unsure of NA status - Request your chargebacks]
Post by: Mcnos on Wed, 05 January 2022, 14:56:05

Hi everybody! Hope you had a lovely new year and are enjoying the cold weather as much as I am. Here's the third profile for Arctic, which was actually supposed to be the very original before JTK and KAT.
It's taken a while but here we are now, I earnestly thank you for the support and enjoyment this hobby has given me throughout the years
The inspiration is my favorite season and type of weather, the cold winter - followed by the region that experiences it the most, the arctic
I've revamped the novelties a bit to a new style with the help of a illustrator that wishes to remain in the shadows, he's got a creative mind.

Little over half MOQ for base, I'm told that the set will be made. Compact kit I'm waiting to hear back about since those numbers are really low.

overjoyed to see plastic chips in one of these photos

the grey looks a little off to me, maybe skewing a little green? but the blue looks dead on

So... about that Mechs & Co. issue (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/14n21mo/63023_update_psa_regarding_mechs_co_and_vendor/), what's going to be the fate of those who got sets through them?

I've recently heard the news and saddened by it. I really wanted this to come to fruition but I think the best course as a customer would be to start a chargeback with the credit company for this. I have not gotten any news from Mechs & Co themselves so I do not know the situation and what will happen to the buy orders but I think it's safe to assume the GB will not complete. Until I hear further news from M&C themselves it's probably best to go about your self interest to get your  money back until advised otherwise.

I am mostly curious about the following:

1. Has GMK been paid for production of the sets reserved for Mechs & Co? I assume the answer is no, but the other vendors likely have or will have.

2. If not, can other vendors help with covering for folks who would likely otherwise miss out due to Mechs & Co's failure?

In other words, is there internal communication between you and other vendors, who could help alleviate matters? It'd still be nice to have GMK Arctic, but yes, in my self interest, I will seek a chargeback.

1. I don't think GMK has been paid for it, but I am told that the sets WILL be produced still, as to how the logistics will work out I'm not sure how or what will happen to the sets.

2. I am venturing to see what options are available to us but I think things are hopeful for the meantime, I would still process your chargeback just in case
