The whole not shipping thing is not so great... But nothing some additional free cherry corp icon keys couldn't fix.[wishful thinking]

I paid over 3 weeks ago, and mine hasn't shipped yet. I also paid for expedited shipping. So you're looking at a couple more weeks until you get yours :p

According to imsto, it hasn't shipped yet as of last night. But I've nagged him enough about it, don't want to over do it. You guys can send him nagging PMs if you wish.

Ok I have bad news for the subgroup buy I was in charge of. I was a little anxious to receive these myself, so I sent imsto a PM asking for tracking number since it seemed quite a while now and people that ordered later are already receiving them. It turns out he had not even shipped them out yet, so basically our orders just sat there for almost 3 weeks now. He said he'll get to it right away this week. I was pretty disappointed to hear that. Makes me wonder if I never sent that nag PM, when he would actually be shipped out.

Suppose to get these like a week ago, but 3 weeks later and it hasn't even moved :tsk:

I'm not disappointed in you but I am disappointed at the situation. I don't know what he does or if something is going on but as a customer I feel a bit slighted.

I think he is actually too busy at the moment. Managing that amount of GB here may be really time consuming plus additional work out of Geekhack.

It looks like it's a blue set paid for on January 27th:

Mine arrived in the post today, a top-printed blue set and a blank. Thanks imsto, looking great. Got two windows keys with top left positioning of the pic. The caps lock is a slight annoyance but we knew that in advance anyway. I'm going to mod it when I finish cleaning my model m. I'm not going to bother posting any pics. I'm using a Filco TKL so you guys already know what it looks like.

Good new, I finally got confirmation from imsto that our sub-group shipping finally shipped. I asked if he knew how long it takes to receive, and he said:

Quote
DHL 3-6 days
Postoffice 15-25days

Not exactly sure what this means, hopefully 3-6 days since we paid for the express. But it also has to go through our post office, but they're usually pretty fast, not a month, so not sure what that 15-25 days really is.

all the packages were sent but few late orders
the HK post office'd got too many packages, the packages sent by PS might be delayed...

Yep the shade is much darker than imsto's previous sets and the contrast is excellent. Keys are legit.

Are these still available to order? Or even better will there be a round 3 soon?! (i saw that round 1 was only 1 month previous to this!)

can anyone compare how white the keys are compared to qtan/feng's KBC? I think i saw somewhere on this thread of imsto staying that these were not as white. they sure look white in these pics that you guys are posting.

That looks much better than the white. Although it is ridiculous people are paying that much for keys that are not correct in the first place.
