Not my taste but might suit someone here.

The seller has other interesting items

- usual shipping prices from HK though...

This is the same dude that was selling all the Noppoos previously.  I think .XL was trying to help him some American distribution.

Anyway, this guy is also selling with a US account:  http://shop.ebay.com/aminglau/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562

I was looking at the PLU keyboard he has, and noticed this interesting piece of information:

- POM laser engraving Cap, both comfortable and durable.

When did PLU start doing this?

How long does standard shipping typically take to get here?  In looking through your feedback, I'm seeing that people are receiving their stuff "very fast."  Is this through standard shipping or expedited shipping?

The keyboard is using the SpeedPost service (expedited). So it typically arrives within 5 business days to US. The Key caps are using standard air mail. It takes about 6-10 business days to US. It the SpeedPost is used for the Rainbow key caps, it cost 17.5 for the shipping. It is too expensive by ratio.

I have already found .XL to help me to organize the group buy here. I think it can save the shipping cost by batch. Thank you for you guys' support.
