[GB] Klaxon! The RA2.0 clone - Orders closed! Invoicing/revision time

[sadbox]

Is the spacebar on the WoG Tsangan set white or grey? White would make sense to me to match a model-M style theme.

WoG? What is this White on Grey you speak of? For the RoG, it's a Grey spacebar, and for RoW, it's a White spacebar.

Well, crap.  Supposing that I made it in to the LZ-GH buy I'm gonna be ordering:
1x RoW Base
1x RoG Mods
1x RoG Tsangan
1x RoW Tsangan

[hluo87]

hi tjcaustin
could you take me out of the order list?
i am out of budget now

[tjcaustin]

I want to add a RoG mods + WoR base to my order, possible ?

hi tjcaustin
could you take me out of the order list?
i am out of budget now

Is it possible to order just a white or red 7x spacebar?  if not can I add the RoW tsangsan set as well so my total order should be

1x RoW base
1x WoR mods
1x RoW tsangsan
1x WoR tsangsan

Done


Numbers updated

[GeorgeK]

Order placed & PM sent to up the numbers to what we all want!

[Mysteric]

I don't believe so.

As to colors, if I can pull it off, it will be in all three colors, buyer's choice, if not, it's WoR only.

Ah, that's a shame, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it'll look odd without the " on the 2 key.

[GeorgeK]

Oooh - I see that you've updated the google docs file to reflect our order - thanks tj.

Just for fun I added up the total orders as they stand at the minute - around $22,000!!!!!!

[tjcaustin]

I have good and bad news from sp.

good:

I can get a three pack of geek hack keys for $2 a set. if there are no objections, I''ll put that on everyone's order. for those like halverson that just want it.

Also, sorting will add  $2 to each order as well.

bad:
I can't get any price deals for the two RoG kits that have low orders right now.

Oooh - I see that you've updated the google docs file to reflect our order - thanks tj.

Just for fun I added up the total orders as they stand at the minute - around $22,000!!!!!!

because of that, plus shipping, I'll split this between my two paypal accounts to dodge taxes

[jdcarpe]

How many do we lack to get RoG base for $55?

[inteli722]

How many do we lack to get RoG base for $55?

Unless he has extra orders he hasn't added yet (which appears unlikely), there are 17 more to go. That's just my guess though, and I would, too, like to hear from the man himself. The only thing keeping me from making one of my RoW Bases RoG is the price...

I assume there be another slight drop in the price of RoW Base set / WoR Mods for the price tiers above 200 pieces which have not been labelled? Or are there no more drops after that?

Thanks, Fuus

[tjcaustin]

counting the informal yes from people in thread, about 7

200 is the cap on prices, which is the next tier for wor mods. so maybe another $2 drop then

[inteli722]

Is there any way we can order MORE GeekHack keys? (and in Different Colors (ie. RoG, WoR, RoW?)?)

If so, then I'm down for a set of 3 in each of the colors (totaling 9 GeekHack keys...)

Is there any way that you can just make this a separate option to order if you want it.  I'm going to be ordering a couple sets and don't want to pay for a bunch of keys I'm not going to use.  That would make everyone happy, those who want it can have it, those that dont' aren't forced to buy it.

That would also satisfy the guy above me who would then be able to order as many as he likes.

No problem on the sorting.  That's tedious work. 

Thanks

Each pack comes with one of each color already for the $2.  But I can definitely make note of whoever wants more than the one pack of three.

As I know halverson was wanting this as well, I've already planned to do just that.  My plan is to include one in each order that I have, take more orders for them separately and also add additional orders to whoever wants them.

[Halverson]

It's all my fault!
Shame we can't get a free pass to cheaper RoG base, I may have joined.

[tjcaustin]

I saw i3 make mention of this on the hate thread and decided to verify for myself and this will be important enough to get a mention in the op, but:

TO ALL INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

USPS has raised its international pricing quite substantially and as such, I will have to change the pricing to match.

Int shipping will now run $26.

[tjcaustin]

It's all my fault!

I feel bad that you're getting a $2 trio of keys and having to pay like a million billion dollars for shipping.

I don't send to addresses that aren't verified through paypal!!!!

dundunduuun

(just kidding, I will send this to the moon if that's what you'd prefer)


Speaking of shipping, there are 3-5 people that have 10+ orders.  Your shipping will more than likely not be the basic pricing I have listed as that's for a small flat rate box and I don't think I can stuff more than maybe 4 sets in one of those.  I will obviously verify and work to get the best pricing possible. This is just a heads up to keep the surprise to a minimum.

[Halverson]

I think even if that were the case tj, I'll get away with it as well! Pretty sure I have a confirmed Utah address bwahaha! You'll never stop me(even if its just a joke!)

[Lighthouse1]

Hi have had a quick look at my order now the ISO kit will probably be WoR might I change my order to

RoW base
WoR modifiers
ISO kit
RoG modifiers (may as well have a set of those for my only ANSI board to justify the shipping!)

Sorry for the bother! Thanks

[r3dx]

TJ, can you please add the following to my order:

1xWoR Tsangan Set
1xRoW Tsangan Set
1xRoG Tsangan Set
1xRoG Base Set

I figured there is no point in saying I'd get a RoG base set unless I actually commit so that we can try and get the number up some.

[jdcarpe]

Yeah, go ahead and add the RoG base to mine, as well. If it doesn't drop to $55, I'll cancel it. Thanks!

[Gupgup]

Go ahead and add the RoG base to my order too, may cancel it also.

Thanks TJ

Crap usps. Isn't there a cheaper version? I know it was something like 6 or 7$. "First class" or some nonsense.

[i3oilermaker]

A giant bubble mailer may be cheaper, but not by a whole lot depending on how many keys there are in it.

Did I mention I hate the new price hikes?

[MadScientist46]

$26? OUCH! (I thought our postal service here sucked by knocking prices up by 30 euro-cents....) Well, as long as they get the keys over here safely....
Thank God the sets have gathered so much interest and become amazingly cheap, so imo still a good deal. Thanks TJ for doing this.
Can't wait for this thing to start!

[gigibecali]

I got a full pbt set three weeks ago, from USA, 7$ shipping, USPS. Minimum bubble envelope though.

What really bothers me is that 26$ buys some good amount of caps...

[MadScientist46]

...

e.g. a base set and 1-2 more geekhack packs?
jk. i think most of people's orders won't fit a bubble mailer anyway. (although i'm not sure how many keys exactly fit in there.) but i see your point.

edit: would a standard sized bubble mailer really cost $26, too?

[hashbaz]

edit: would a standard sized bubble mailer really cost $26, too?

Bubble mailers now start at $7 (vs around $3 before) and go up from there based on weight.  Small flat-rate boxes jumped to $26 from $17. :-|

[MadScientist46]

Thats quite a raise...... :/

Mentioning that: This means I owe you some bucks, doesn't it? ^_^

Well my R/R/R Cheats eagerly awaiting this GB....
Good work TJ

Soon.  Got almost a week before invoices start.

As to shipping pricing, I've listed flat rate for both national and international for a handful of reasons, the main two being tracking and speed of delivery.  When I get to the brass tacks, I may be able to do first class cheaper or non-flat rate priority cheaper, too.  I'd rather not have to just because flat rate being so much more simple.

Done

A thought for the RoG base/tsangan kits:  Split over 200 orders, we could subsidize the cost difference between 10 and 50 (or even 20) orders and not add but $1-3 dollars to everyone's order.  Obviously, I wouldn't do this if people were opposed, but would be a great gesture to support everyone.

[okooko]

Better off overestimating shipping for int'l buyers like myself.

I don't mind chipping in a few extra dollars for the amount of effort you've put into this and continually doing so for this GB to happen.

I'm sure many others will feel the same.

At least for me another $10 or so on a $150 order isnt a dealbreaker.

[MadScientist46]

Thats quite a raise...... :/

Thanks, I know, I'm counting the days actually. ;-)
This was meant for hash and his 2nd chance tsangan GB.

I would be cool with 2-3 dollars to help some people out, sure thing!

[dreamingftw]

TJ, can you change my order from WoR to RoG mods. Thanks.

[Leslieann]

The whole point of this was to get keys for cheap, and we more than did that.

$1-3 from the tens of dollars I saved to help others get a discount, doesn't bother me. I'm still saving plenty, which was the whole point of this.

Better yet, I say round it up to the nearest 50 cents, hang onto it until the end in case of unforseen problems (such as another shipping increase), and then either keep it for the effort or donate it to GH when all is said and done.

Australia is now officially cheaper than the US when it comes to shipping internationally!! This is very unfortunate news for us int' people, but it can't be helped.

[ApocalypseMaow]

Ok so it seems the RoG base kit is a go?! If so I would like to change my order:
RoG base
WoR mod
WoR 17
RoW tsangan
Sorry for the last minute headache.

[MissMurd3r84]

Have to drop my order, sorry. Thanks UPS.

[jdcarpe]

Oh no! Don't cancel your order just because of the new shipping rates. How much is the difference between the shipping rates? You might get a sponsor to help you if you need it.

[MissMurd3r84]

Oh no! Don't cancel your order just because of the new shipping rates. How much is the difference between the shipping rates? You might get a sponsor to help you if you need it.

It's like $8 difference. Seriously can't justify $26 postage. I have a set of modifier keys on the way assuming they aren't posted back to where they are coming from anyway. So I shall just make do with what I already have. UPS has made it so that at the moment it won't be worth it for most international buyers to participate in GB's, sadly. It was $18 before.

[mickd]

Yeah this has got to be one of the biggest price jumps in postal history. There has also been plenty of times in the past where I didn't order extra sets because the medium flat rate box was so expensive. Don't even want to think about it now ha.

[Leewei]

heya tj, is there a pic of the tsangan kit? or a mockup of what the 1x winkey looks like?

[Shadovved]

I might have to ship to a US address

Tj, is my address a Singapore or a US one?

[Emmiya]

Can put me down for a RoG Base too. Will just have to cancel on the collection date if we don't break the $55 price barrier like everyone else.

order should now be:
RoW Base
RoG Base
RoG Mod
RoG Tsangan

[GeorgeK]

Bit confused after reading all of the above - how much is a RoG base set likely to come to then?  I get the $55 tier but what about this subsidy idea?  Might be tempted to change one of my RoW base sets to RoG depending on price.

[Jupiter]

What a crock about the Int Shipping. Don't know how they can justify such a huge increase.

[NikoGasm]

Would you mind adding a WoR Tsangan kit to my order?

[GeorgeK]

heya tj, is there a pic of the tsangan kit? or a mockup of what the 1x winkey looks like?

I don't think there's a mockup but the link from SP in the first post might help...

It must be because it's a flat rate for as much as you can pack in one box...  If it was priced more fairly by the USPS (by weight and size of package) then it might be cheaper for some...
