Awesome, glad you're interested. I'll probably just gauge interest for a couple days and then put up an order form.

Oh wow.. what timing to run this... If people from Orion v2 are going to be jumping in on this I'll probably have to raise the order limit.

I was planning on only maybe 25-50 orders or so..

We'll see how it goes with the number of people joining and I'll talk some more with GON tonight about his stock.

Hey everyone, thanks for your interest in joining this buy. I started this initially as a small buy just to get rid of my shipping voucher from GON, but I guess it has already gone past that.
I am still waiting to hear back from GON on his current stock of stabilizers. If bulk purchasing from GON is a no-go, I have already contacted Hojin.yi of Winkeyless regarding a bulk purchase.

I initially set the shipping price of $3.00 CONUS with the thought that people would mostly order just 1-2 sets of stabilizers. The bubble mailers I currently have (5" x 7") can not fit larger orders inside of them, so any orders greater than 2 sets will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box ($5.95). I think having a solid box will also be safer for the large orders.

International shipping will stay mostly the same. I will purchase larger bubble mailers for international orders and ship via First Class International or the equivalent, since Priority boxes are expensive to ship international.


Once I hear back from GON, I will put up the order form here or maybe start a new thread in the GB subforum(?).

Just PM'd you ceflame.

I also got a combined shipping voucher from GON and I would like to help with International & EU shipping.

Here is what I can do from France (packaging costs & postage included || PP fees excluded) :

For one set (< 20g) :
• shipping within France : 1.10 €
• shipping within Europe : 1.20 €
• delivery in other countries : 1.50 €

Upon ~3/4 sets (< 50g):
• shipping within France : 1.50 €
• shipping within Europe : 1.80 €
• delivery in other countries : 2.40 €

Upon ~6/7 sets (< 100g):
• shipping within France : 2.20 €
• shipping within Europe : 2.30 €
• delivery in other countries : 2.90 €

Shipping option available : tracked (+3.20 €) or registered (+4.30€)

EDIT : I already have with me like hundreds of bubble mailers in many sizes and I'm used to sell 6-7k O-rings across the world every two months so that's it.

Replied to you Lpwl.

I'd be glad to have your help. The international shipping rates from the US are pretty insane compared to your rates.

Yeap it's cheap but sometimes a bit slowly !

For example, shipping from France to the USA or Australia usually takes ~10 days.

I'd like to join this GB for 2 stab sets :thumb:

By the way, since OP mentioned this will be TKL kits, would it be possible to get a price on a complete kit (TKL + numpad) as well?

GON sells his stabilizers as TKL sets. Though, he does list on his site separate 2 unit stabs. Maybe we can add an option for extras.

Oh wow this is perfect if you're in France. I was going to hop on when it was ceflame, but for me your offer is much more interesting. Would you be shipping from anywhere near Paris? (Made I could just pick them up in person) Please let me know when you place your order  :)  :thumb:

sounds good and thanks again Ceflame. I am only looking for 1 possibly 2 sets but I am pretty excited to pick these up as they are one of the last pieces to my puzzle 8)

Hey everyone. Ordering from winkeyless is a go, moderator approval is a go.

Just waiting to confirm some things with Lpwl and then I can write-up the GB thread.

I'm looking to having the ordering period for 2 weeks, preparation/shipping to me 2 weeks, and then turnaround shipping within 2 weeks after Lpwl and I receive the stabilizers.

As we all know from previous GB experiences, things happen in life, and I may be unable to fulfill those promises.

This will be my first time running a group buy, but I will have Lpwl alongside me who is experienced to handle EU and other international shipping to get you all better shipping prices.

Please bear with me and let's have a great GB  8)
