What's going on? It's been 3 weeks since the shipments have been received.

Justin2 · « **Reply #651 on:** Mon, 23 July 2012, 12:17:14 »

Has anyone heard from iMav re shipping info confirmation?

spaceship · « **Reply #652 on:** Mon, 23 July 2012, 12:22:22 »

Not I...

Striketh · « **Reply #653 on:** Mon, 23 July 2012, 12:25:15 »

Negative. I emailed him on the 7th of July and he replied saying "Shipping arrangement emails will go out this week".

Then he had an updated posted on GH when the site was coming back up that said the shipping notifications would be going out on the week of the 16th.

Thus far, nothing. I realize it's a big project, but he's had them for a while now and I'm getting a bit antsy myself. I've been patient while we waited for the last 8 or so months waiting for them to ship, but now they're here. They need to be distributed.

Edit: Just received an email verifying my shipping information. I guess iMav saw our griping

megnin · « **Reply #654 on:** Mon, 23 July 2012, 13:27:02 »

Here's me griping, too. The noisy wheel gets the grease, er, Race, right?

Edit: Holy happy. It worked. Just got my email order confirmation. Thanks iMav! ;-)

Edit: I didn't spell "happy" with that many letters. Nice profanity filter. ;-)

Well, just got my email notice as well...looking forward to seeing this keyboard when it arrives.

I just received my email as well. but still no shipping prices.

Striketh · « **Reply #657 on:** Mon, 23 July 2012, 16:21:31 »

I imagine we'll get the shipping invoice once he's actually shipped them (unless he's doing a flat rate which will be the same price regardless)

xquisit · « **Reply #658 on:** Tue, 24 July 2012, 15:50:41 »

Still waiting on my email, but I'm patient, and I was lucky enough to get one of the extra orders!

ddrhazy · « **Reply #659 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 10:46:25 »

What did the e-mail say exactly to those that received it?

rknize · « **Reply #660 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 10:49:43 »

He was verifying shipping addresses and orders, probably since several orders changed hands.

luckynet · « **Reply #661 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 10:50:53 »

neeeddd... shipping... keyboards...

reaper · « **Reply #662 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 10:51:51 »

I got my confirmation email as well. Can't wait for this since it started last year.

This is your shipping address, correct?

iMav. I want you to take a picture of all the keyboards and I want you to open 2 or 3 to display the keyboard in it's box and post the pictures here.

rknize · « **Reply #665 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 11:01:53 »

I want you to make me a cup of coffee.

I normally require folks to ask nicely...but I will make an exception this time.

He's a noob and doesn't know any better. lol Anyway, money sent for shipping. Thank you iMav!

ddrhazy · « **Reply #668 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 13:05:03 »

I apologize if I was curt but at this point I was beginning to think that the shipments you received were fake and you were stalling because you were conned. Please understand that people have been waiting a long time and they now have other faster options to get these keyboards if they hadn't been locked into the group buy.

Striketh · « **Reply #669 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 13:06:44 »

Got the invoice for shipping. I'll be paying it on the 1st when I get my next pay check in.

alaricljs · « **Reply #670 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 13:07:05 »

Should I just sit here laughing or should I tell him who iMav is? I thought it was obvious

megnin · « **Reply #671 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 13:08:51 »

Thanks iMav!!! Shipping invoice paid.

iMav, please check your email I want your confirmation. Thanks!

Delirious · « **Reply #676 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 18:49:29 »

Hello iMav, would it be ok if you publish the preorder google's doc? I checked my email everyday for the past 3 weeks, it would be nice to know at least where I am on the order list to avoid the stupid ADD. I am sure the rest of the guys who have yet to received the shipping invoice would appreciate it too.

You shouldn't hold iMav responsible for your impatience dude. Seriously, deal with the wait or stay out of group buys that involve international shipping and first production runs.

Publish the preorder doc that probably has all of our emails, shipping addresses, etc? Lol?

There's a built-in software with Windows 7 called Snipping Tool where it let you take a picture of certain region on your monitor screen, then you can upload it to an image host website

I wonder which LED color was most and least popular this groupbuy!

Striketh · « **Reply #685 on:** Fri, 27 July 2012, 16:37:24 »

Sent my payment

@xquisit: That would be an interesting statistic. I'm going to guess green, personally. That's what I went with in the end

cix · « **Reply #686 on:** Fri, 27 July 2012, 21:57:43 »

xquisit · « **Reply #687 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 02:45:27 »

I am going to guess green is most picked, and white or blue is least picked.

Was blue even available? I can't imagine that I would have selected green over blue. It's been so long though that I don't remember what I ordered.

Edit: Yep, blue sure is one of the LED colors listed in the OP. I sure hope that's what I ordered.

xquisit · « **Reply #689 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 07:14:42 »

He started offering blue later on, and I was deciding between white or blue. Decided to go with blue, was afraid it would be more simple to spot dim LEDs on white compared to blue (but I'm starting to think it's the same).

xquisit · « **Reply #690 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 07:15:28 »

I'm not 100% on that either, but I think he didn't offer all colors initially.

Striketh · « **Reply #691 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 10:52:31 »

Yeah, the other colors came later. I gave them a look over myself, but I stuck with the green and black combo because green was very visible and wasn't rough on the eyes like I imagined white would be. I'm just excited to finally get this puppy and try it out!

megnin · « **Reply #692 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 10:53:23 »

I'd like the blue LEDs but I think I've got a keyboard with blue LEDs on the way so green ones on this keyboard will be okay. I wish I knew when they were going to be in the mail to us.

xquisit · « **Reply #693 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 16:55:42 »

This will be my first mechanical keyboard, and I have a rubber-dome with blue alps that I just discovered to re-assure me of my purchase: Cherry MX blue Race /w Blue LEDs!

Blue alps is a very good mechanical switch...

xquisit · « **Reply #695 on:** Sat, 28 July 2012, 18:53:43 »

It came with my first computer, a Dell with a CPU at 333MHz (Stock). I would assume I got it around 1999, and I was using a cheap compaq and dynex rubber-dome for a long amount of time... They both broke down, and when I went to the store to actually try a mechanical keyboard with all the different cherry MX switches I knew I had to test out. Once I knew what to try, and knew I had to look for a replacement keyboard, I stumbled across this DELL QuietKey and fell in love. I seriously can not wait to try out cherry MX blue switches, and compare it to my blue ALPS.

I just bolded the mechanical part of your response, and realized I was using a mechanical switch for all those years and telling people on the forum I've never tried anything besides a rubber-dome. I hope I wasn't lying about the rubber-dome part, I mean these are still considered rubber-domes and not a mechanical keyboard.. right(Referring to the Dell Quiet Key with blue ALPS)?

By first batch, I hope it's all the GREEN LEDs, and we have two more boxes to go!
