UPDATES:

7/26/2021: Great news!! DSS Drank is on it's way and should be arriving on my doorstep by week's end!!

6/24/2021: I received an updated completion estimate today from SP. It looks like the caps are to be completed at the end of July. This is due to a delay in SP receiving raw materials from their supplier.

4/13/2021: The invoice from Signature Plastics has been paid. I'll update when I receive more news.

It’s inspired by the color purple.

We are currently at 38 sets sold. Not bad for 3 days since launch. Oh...anyone interested in a DrinkMat? More details to come.

Misono is running a GB for DrankMat: https://forms.gle/yUqD8umSh146Kjoa7

Introducing 60% layout coverage with the DSS Drank Normie Add-on Kit. This add-on kit must be paired with the DSS Drank Keyset base kit to provide basic 60% layout coverage. If you have already purchased the base kit and want to add this to your order, please send a message to the store email at 40percentkeyboards@gmail.com with your order number to receive a code for free shipping on the Normie Kit.

We are currently at 46 Base Kits and 1 Normie Kit sold (Not including potential extras). There are roughly 3 weeks left in the GB, so we are looking pretty good. Hopefully as the Normie Kit gets more exposure we can capture more sales and hit MoQ. Check out the Soldard/DrankMat GB (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZB2GylT6H4jCZWzjMCTWTyOvhSCNyT3HukcSCRk5wG1fpNw/viewform) that Misono is running.

WEEK #2.5 UPDATE:
We are currently at 59 Base Kits and 10 Normie Kits sold (Not including extras). There are 10 days left in the GB. MoQ for the Base Kit is being lowered to 75 and MoQ for the Normie Kit is being lowered to 25. The purpose of this is to make sure that the set gets made, so if you are on the fence go ahead and place your order before the group buy ends. If MoQ gets close enough on the Normie Kit, I'll buy it out. We are almost there on the Base Kit and the number above doesn't include my personal sets or planned extras.

Good morning!! A last minute order increased our numbers to 100 Base kits and 29 Normie kits. I just requested an invoice from SP and will pay it once I receive it. I'll keep you guys updated during the whole process. I can't wait to see Drank on all our boards in just a few months time. Thank you to everyone who made this a success!!

There will be extras once the GB ships!!

I just wanted to update you guys on a surprise addition to your DSS Drank keysets. As a thank you for supporting this group buy, I had a novelty icon commissioned from Fu11.meta1 and am excited to announce that it will be added to everyone's kits during production. Attached is a KLE mock-up so you can get the idea of what it will look like. The Base kit will include the R2 novelty key and the Normie kit will include the R1 novelty key. Thank you guys so much for your support!! We are still on track for late June shipping to me.

Great news!! DSS Drank is on it's way and should be arriving on my doorstep by week's end!! Here's a sneak peek at the finished keycaps:

MikeTheTiger · « **Reply #33 on:** Mon, 02 August 2021, 12:53:54 »

Great news!! I was able to muscle through all domestic U.S. packaging yesterday and they have all just been dropped off at the post office. I will be working on Canadian and international packages next. For those I will not be using USPS, because of the issues I have heard about regarding packages sitting in warehouses for weeks on end. Most likely UPS or DHL will be used. I will do my best to have those orders sent by the end of this week. Domestic U.S. orders should receive tracking, if not already, very soon. Thank you guys for making this my first successful group buy!!

Update on International Shipping:

So I have taken a look at various options (UPS, DHL and FedEx), in order to avoid any potential delays by using USPS for International shipping. Unfortunately, these options are not financially viable to use at present. In some cases, UPS shipping costs (the least expensive of the 3) are almost twice as much and the shipping that International customers were charged. I apologize, but I cannot absorb these costs and it is with deep regret that we will have to go with USPS for some international orders. This of course will be on an individual basis, as I go through the rest of the shipping queue. We, of course, will be honoring our commitment to existing orders for DSS Drank and DSS 420. There are some areas of the world that USPS International shipping is not an option. These orders will use another shipping carrier. As for DSA DN, I will be trying to work on a solution in the next few days, but I may have to suspend international shipping for that Group Buy and potentially refund international orders. Once again, I deeply apologize.

**EDIT:** My apologies once again, but DSA DN International orders are safe for now. I tested the shipping label prices on Shopify and there was a typing mistake while entering weights that caused USPS to become an unavailable option. That has been corrected on my part. USPS will cost a little more than I charged for international orders, but is nowhere near the amount it would cost to use other services.
