That is when the goods are shipped from the distributor in states to the rest of the people. 25 USD is from me in Singapore to anywhere else of the world.

Shipping prices are unknown for this to be shipped within CONUS and from China to distributor in USA but definitely not much.

I'm so confused right now.. Lol.

So $25 shipping fee Is buying off you but It'll be cheaper If we have It shipped from within the US? We get to pick either shipped from Singapore or USA?
Title: Geekhack Wrist Rest - Orders Open
Post by: elton5354 on Sun, 21 October 2012, 01:29:57
We're not in USA but in Canada, so if we're to choose shipping from you directly to us, then it's $25?  Because we're planning on ordering together to save on shipping. If we do that, would it still be $25? Around 5 pieces.

The unknown price you're saying is if you were to ship  from Singapore to a USA distributor and then they ship out from there?
Title: Re: Geekhack Wrist Rest - Orders Open
Post by: mickd on Sun, 21 October 2012, 03:00:49
I'm also pretty confused about the shipping costs. So to Australia, will it be $25 shipping from you to me?
Title: Re: Geekhack Wrist Rest - Orders Open
Post by: Marclgw on Sun, 21 October 2012, 06:36:10
Okay, to clear up all the confusion. Firstly i will let this group buy run for another 1-2 weeks max.
Once we close this group buy i will get quotation for shipping first etc before we finalise with all the payment etc.

How does that sound to you guys?
=D

However payment will be due within 24 hours by then.

This sounds good. PM'd with an order for a Black Leather / White Stitching TKL.

If shipping internationally ends up being too expensive, I might change to have it shipped to relatives in Malaysia which should be cheaper from Singapore.
Title: Re: Geekhack Wrist Rest - Orders Open
Post by: mickd on Sun, 21 October 2012, 07:29:27
Yep, sounds good. As long as I can review the total cost before paying at the end, no biggie :)

It has a pic of Navyblue/White and Black/Black, but they're taking with different camera so kind of difficult to compare the colors.

Hi DanGWang,

   As the orders are getting larger day by day, to ease the trouble of distributor finding each different logo , i suggest we stick to Geekhack Logo first till further notice, because as of now , all the goods will be packed and shipped in barter paper which is opaque , i doubt anyone else would want their packaging to be totally torn and unseal when received. =X Hope you understand where i am coming from.

Ok guys, vectorized two versions. First one is based on the backspace key in the original post. Second one is the based on the old geekhack banner.
I'm thinking the second would look better on the wrist rests. What do you think?

Updated post #1 with the geekhack logo =D.

Also, for the logo to be 5 x 1 cm is it too small? Anyone got a preferred dimension? That you find is best?

It's to see things better/easier by using different colored fonts every line.

You mean red and black text? Unless maybe it's white for you if you have retro settings on.
I believe every second person in the list the colour is swapped to make the list easier to read/follow.

That sounds okay to me. The main thing is that it should at least not be underneath the hands when in normal typing position. A bit unavoidable for 65% boards, but 7x1.5 seems to be fine for TKL as long as it's not placed too far towards the centre.

Do you have any experience with synthetic and genuine leather? Doesn't genuine make your hands sweat more?

Genuine leather is more porous than synthetic leather, so you'd probably sweat less. With synthetic leather, depending on what kind it is, it can tend to get that "sticky" feeling when you rest your hands on it for extended periods.

All orders will be re updated soon due to the tight work schedule.

Hope we can get this done and shipped by Christmas =D

Is there a shipping quote yet? No point of the manufacturer buying everything when most of us are still content on going through with the group buy depending on the shipping fees.
