**Now open to CANADA MEMBERS**
**THIS GB IS CLOSED OFF TO U.S. members only/Canada only**
There is a limited supply of these palm rests in stock at Iomania and I want to make this go as fast as possible, so here’s the deal. The first 25 members to send payment are pretty much guaranteed a palm rest. The next 5 after that (so we’re ordering up to 30) will be on a wait list depending on the stock when we place our order. Orders will close as soon as we hit 30 or in about a week, whichever comes first.
To simplify the shipping process, all TKL models will be shipped in a medium priority flat rate box, WITHOUT their original box. If you read the IC check thread the original box is nothing special but makes shipping complicated (if you need a picture of what you're not missing out on, I have some). If you want the original box or are ordering the FULL size palm rest, you have to pay an extra $5 to get the larger box.
So final prices, tracking included:
TKL - $51.50
Full size (or TKL with original box) – $56.50
Canada -$56.50 (fixed $15 first class mail
Prices are not as cheap as I would have liked them to be but I couldn’t find a viable solution for shipping. Plus I have to carry all of these heavy packages from my apartment to the campus post office by bike so it will be a pain!
Combined shipping is possible, up to 4 wrist rests can fit into one box!
-
In for 1 TKL.
-
In for 1. If there's any Chicagoans getting one, let's save on some shipping :)
@fstop -- Any idea when these will end up on our door? =)
-
In for 1 TKL.
-
In for 1 TKL as well. If anyone in Orange County or San Gabriel Valley wants to share shipping let me know!

If you don't have a Chrome messenger bag already I recommend picking one up. ;)

1 TKL ordered. Thanks for organizing!

Not sure tbh, is there a reason behind knowing?
We're already at 10 palm rests reserved, so 15 more to go before I can't guarantee you one. Fill out the form if you're interested!
-
Ummm you know I'm not in US nor Canada so I have to ask someone be my proxy to get 1 of it :( Hope to get the answer here because I think someone interested in it might know something :D
Good luck with the order thread! ;p

If orders come in as fast as they have been, it looks like things will be moving along a lot faster (we're already at 13/30 claimed).
1 week for orders/payment
3 days - 1 week for the shipment to come from Korea and for me to prep
2-5 days priority shipping.
So in the worst case scenario, 3 weeks. In the best case scenario a little less then 2 :).
-
In for one TKL without original box.
-
In for 1 TKL, form filled out. Do you want PMs as well, or just the form?
-
Just the form is enough.
15/30 so far. Once this hits 25, I'm going to be sending out invoices.
-
I'm not normally a wrest rest guy, but I figured now is as good a time as any to give them another shot.
My wallet must hate me by now. :(
-
The Ficlo leather wristwrests are $60 on amazon, so this hard-to-get Milestone wristwrest should be well worth it. :D
-
i dont see where to pay? i never got an invoice
-
In for 1 TKL as well

In for 1 TKL. Canada. Thanks.
-
What's the count, thanks?
-
We're at 18. It's now open to Canada members as well so hopefully that gets a few more people!
-
Anyone in Toronto want to combine shipping?
-
Thank you fstop open this for Canadian GHers, I am really appreciate it :clap2:
I would like to add another full size, so my final order would be;
1x TKL
1x full size
I go re do the form, please ignore the previous one. Sorry about that fstop.
@elton5354
I'm in the west coast, could it help lower the shipping cost?
-
Form filled out and submitted. I'm in for 1 boxeless TKL.

I just pm'd you have to work out some details.

C'mon, people jump on this group buy!
;]
-
:) I'm in for 1 TKL

Nice, what's the count now? :D
-
We're at 23. I'm closing this up Friday night and invoices will be going out shortly after. I *hope* that everyone can get payment in by early next week, if that's the case I will have the palm rests by next weekend to ship out.
-
Are you going to be sending us information on how to send payment? Or did I miss something?
-

Yes, invoices will be sent out via PM.
-
Costs less than a leather palm rest. I can't resist. In for 1 TKL.
-
On the form, are "Tenkeyless Model" and "Full Size Model" model numbers or quantities?
-
I would hope they are quantities. Otherwise, I really screwed up my submission. :D
-
Yeah its quantities.
-
Just sent in the form for 1 tkl.
-
any update? ty
-
The rollback killed this GB :(. Any luck?
-
Bump for an update!
-
Bump for an update!
yes please
-
fstop can send us email for invoice instead, since server is not stable these days.
-
Sorry, had a few details to sort out with Ionomania. Plus it's the first week of exams for the quarter so I've been a little busy :(.
Pm's going out in just a few hours, I'm getting them ready now. Will be needing payments from you guys ASAP to make sure the stock in there when we order. Hopefully everyone can get payments in before the end of the week as that would be very helpful.
-
Payment Sent.
-
paid
-
Paid as well!
-
Paid for 1xTKL without original box. Thanks for allowing me to participate, it's my second group buy (ever).

Payment sent! Excited for my first group buy.
-
Thanks for paying so quickly guys, and on such short notice :).
I'll update the list tomorrow. I suspect by then I'll mostly be looking for the few people who haven't paid yet.
-
just got home, different time zone, paid :tongue:
-
Payment sent.
-
Payment sent. Thanks for this!
-
Can't believe I missed this!!
-
Payment sent. Thanks a lot!
-
Sent payment now. Thanks for hosting the gb!
-
The following people have no yet paid. Don't mean to call you out like this, but it makes things easier to keep track of. If you're not on the list no worries! And please don't harass the people who are :). It's only been a day so we'll give them some time.
edit: everyone paid.
-
Site rollback...
Payment has been sent in, delivery is set for this weekend.
Will update you guys once I get tracking.
-
Fstop, any news on tracking/delivery?
Thanks, in advance.
-
Also hoping for an update.
Thanks!
-
Hmm... they were suppose to be delivered yesterday but its showing:
Reason : Absence of addressee
Result : Addressee advised to pick up the item
I was home all day yesterday... I'll have to call and see what the issue is.
-
I appreciate the update, fstop.
-
That's so typical of the USPS. They've done this to me countless times. They probably never bothered to attempt the delivery.

You know what I think? I think he saw the two boxes before loading up the car and said "Screw this!" lol. The boxes are something like 30kg each and I live on the third floor of an apartment building that only has staircase access.
They said they left a delivery note on my door. It's not there, and I was home all day yesterday and heard nothing. I scheduled a re-delivery but I may have to call and figure something out when they open tomorrow.
-
All I can say is I hope your experience this time around is better than some of mine have been in the past. I once had to submit three online redelivery requests, make two phone calls to the post office, and file a complaint with the postmaster before they actually made a second proper attempt. They had the nerve to claim they lost my package after first leaving a notice about a supposed attempt, while I was waiting for it at home, and then promising redelivery several times. It's ridiculous, they will look for any excuse not to do their jobs.
Thankfully, it hasn't been as bad since.
-
Yeah, I'm a little worried because if things get complicated I don't have a car to pick these up, and these are sent to the USPS center which is significantly farther than the one I normally go to. There would be no way for me to get there and lift two 60lb packages back home.
I'll call tomorrow though and see what can be done.
-
Hmm... which part of the bay area are you? I could potentially help you out. PM me.
-
Sorry for the double post, but here's an update.
They didn't even try delivering today (go figure) despite me putting in a request. I gave them my name and number and they said they will try tomorrow and call me when they get there since the package is so heavy. Let's hope I'm home and I actually get the call.
-
Awesome, thank you for the update.
-
I had to go through hell to get a hold of these lol... but they're finally in my apartment. All accounted for as well!
Most will be shipped out no later than Friday. Some might take longer, it just depends how many I can carry at a time.
IF FOR ANY REASON YOU NEED AN ADDRESS CHANGE, NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO REQUEST IT!

-
Thanks for the update. Sorry for the difficulties, did I ever mention how much I hate the USPS? :P
-
Nice. :) I didn't expect that they would arrive US so soon.
-
If only you were closer to San Jose xD. I could help you out.
-
Aww man, I take a couple week hiatus and miss out on awesomness like this........FML
-
I ordered a few extra, mainly because I wanted to help david clear out the stock since he was so patient with us and I knew there would be a few people who missed out.
They'll go up for sale after I handle the group order.
-
Glad to hear you got them.
-
sweet!!! can't wait... ^.^
-
Can't wait to get mine! Hopefully by this weekend. :biggrin:
-
Damn you Californians...always getting things first
-
I'm sending out 15-20 of them tomorrow morning. The rest will go out on Saturday, so expect them to arrive mid-next week for everyone. It's really unlikely that anyone will get them before the week is over, sorry!
Edit: I took down the link to the order form, won't serve any purpose to anyone anymore. Plus somebody was spamming it yesterday placing fake orders about how sad they were for missing out on this GB -- this was really unnecessary. I said I have extras, not sure what the fuss was about.
-
Thanks for the update. As much as I like to hate on USPS delivery practices, they've gotten rather efficient at transporting their packages. It wouldn't surprise me if most of these sent out tomorrow morning arrive either on Saturday or Monday, at least for those within the CONUS.
-
I think I was one of the first 15-20 to send payment, did you send them out in order payed?
No biggy, just curious & sorry for bothering you.. I truly am appreciateive of you going out there to the post office without a vehicle.
-
Basically whoever wanted the original box or ordered a full size will have their order shipped on Saturday.
The majority of people ordered a TKL without original box, and those should all be going out tomorrow. If for some reason it doesn't, I'll have them out on Saturday. The 1-day difference in shipping isn't going to make much of a difference anyway.
-
Thank you very much for the hard work fstop :smile:
-
No doubt, I'm very appreciative of what you are doing for me. Thanks a bunch!

Sorry for those of you that expected this at noon today, rollbacks killed it.
And if you had previously given me feedback if you could do so again that would be great. Rollbacks also took those away.
-
Got mine in today! Thanks for doing the gb! (also sent you PM)
-
My ability to answer PMs for the next few days is limited, I went home for mothers day and have plans with the family to keep me busy all weekend.
If you requested a tracking number, I can get itto you on Monday.
-
Freaking USPS sent mine back as "undeliverable"...sent you the details, fstop. Figures, it took them 3 days to get it sorted out when they sent it to the wrong town, but when they couldn't deliver it, they returned to sender within 12 hours...grrrr :frusty:

What?! They send it back to sender within 12 hours and only the first delivery? That's stupid..
Well I just received mine today. Mine has some marks on it. I'll try to see if it's just glue or something that can be washed off..
-
Got mine in Canada!! Carefully pack with 2x foam, 2x bubble wrap. Thank you very much fstop :peace:
(feedback when get home)
-
Alright aside from Gimpster, please PM me if you have any issues or have no received your palm rest yet. At this point, they should all be delivered.
Sorry I've been a bit slow responding back to you guys, I had a busy last two weeks and the rollbacks/malware warnings/etc geekhack woes just made me stay away from the site for the last couple of days.
-
PM sent.
-
Hi fstop!
I successfully received my palm rest in the mail; looks like it got stuck at the shipping facility for a few weeks.
Glad to finally receive it. Such a great product!
-
Mine finally arrived today! Thanks so much!
-
Mine finally arrived today! Thanks so much!
Sorry it took so long for yours :(.
It should of been the last one though, so it looks like this GB (finally) officially done!
-
Excellent job fstop :rockon: I really love it!!!
-
fstop, when you get sometime (cus I know you're busy).. can we get some feedback <3
-
Are these still for sale? I am interested in a TKL. I live in California.
-
Jrockroll might still be selling one. Look for his sales thread in classifieds
-
I am very interested in picking up one of these...anyone selling?
-
Holy moly necro post man. Had to check the time stamps before I realized it. How did you even find it?
