Dear GH'ers,

1. 2 new sets arrived today. I'll update you guys on it more when we finish packaging it.

Hint: Grey, grey, and more grey...

2. Sanctuary set is almost done being quantity checked. I am very sorry for the delay. This is one of the biggest group buys I believe (next to the CCnG), so there are many things needed to be done. Aside from it being big, I had to package and quantity check everything on my own. Everything will be ship out accordingly. There is a slight problem with International orders since there is an increase in prices. I'll update you guys on that more, and I am sorry about that.

3. All the Pre-Orders extra items have arrived from the factory, so we are ready to ship out all Pre-orders.

For more questions, please e-mail me at sheraton@originativeco.com.

We are going through all the information today to have the site back up next week.

New sets (no Pre-orders anymore) and KMAC 2 will be launched next week.

We will also include bundle deals as well.

sherryton · « **Reply #2 on:** Sun, 17 February 2013, 06:12:25 »

New prices will take effect within the next 2 weeks.

Prices will include new deals, add ons, bundle deals, free shipping to Domestic and International, etc. to lower the pricing.

Full sets are being shipped out now

sherryton · « **Reply #4 on:** Fri, 22 February 2013, 07:11:34 »

Sorry if I have not answered all the messages. I am hoping to bring back the web-site up today.

I was just setting up a new printer, and it took me quite awhile.

1. We plan to also ship out all the Pre Order sets.

2. All of Sanctuary Keysets will be shipped out in the next 2 weeks.

3. We'll run a contest for the new sets once the web-site goes live.

I want to thank everyone for consistently checking on my vendor forum. It's really fun just seeing a bunch of people here at all times.

For this reason, I'll announce one of the sets. The set is also known as Ski Data (I altered the colors slightly since the original orange was not available), but I imagine it more as the Geek Hack set. If you are using the default theme, then it looks exactly just like the GEEK HACK keys at the top. Theme can be found here, http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=theme;sa=pick

We have to hand organize these as well as all the other sets we had so far. I will not release them until they are 100% packaged since there is only a limited of these.

I made this order a long time ago, and I hope you guys understand that I did not copy anything. Expect them in a week.

Found the cheapest shipping for International using my own boxes! Boxes are coming in.

sherryton · « **Reply #7 on:** Wed, 06 March 2013, 20:19:57 »

Sorry for the past week. I was very busy, and I had undergone many family problems. In the past week, I had a meeting with some keycap businesses, picked up boxes from uline, and talked to some manufacturers. Many good things coming soon. Pushing all international shipment this week. I am sorry for the delay, but the boxes was needed. Priority mail was overpriced, and the prices are only increasing.

Remember, I am only one person! I have to get friends (and family) to help set up the packages.

Orange Dolch will release on Monday. PBT Dye Sublimation RGB with Esc will release this week. Dolch will release in another 2-3+ weeks.

sherryton · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 11 March 2013, 21:02:22 »

PBT RGB sets are up

Orange on Charcoal will be up this week.

Dolch will be up in two to three weeks.

PBT Full sets will come in next month.

I want to ask everyone to please hold on ordering as I get a few things resolved.

Thank you.

Hello Geekhackers,

I am very sorry about my disappearance. I have been quite busy with many family troubles. The PayPal troubles and the Credit Card troubles also gave me a bunch of headaches.
Everything with my family is getting better, and the web-site finally works better. There are still some issues, but they will be fixed in time.
I am posting the Ski Data set this week. I am getting 5 new springs. Dolch and 5 new sets are being manufactured right now. If there are problem with your
orders, then please e-mail me at sheraton@originativeco.com.
The rest of the Sanctuary keysets arrive this week. I have to package them myself, and I will ship the rest. I believe there are about 10 more people that has not
received them.

If you are planning to purchase from our store, then please send me an e-mail with the Order No. as the title. In the summary, please post the shipping address and the order.

Thanks,

Sheraton

Hello again everyone,

I have been out of the blue and all. I am officially back and settled in. If there are any missing keys or anything of that matter, then please contact me as soon as possible. If you have noticed from our web-store, we have launched a few products within the past couple of days. Thank you for everyone who has helped me here. I know not a lot of you trust me, but I shall regain your trust if you allow me to.

I am going to a Pre order on the following items: Russian Cryllic Set, Dolch, White on Black, the PBT Dye Sub, and I am still doing a Pre Order on the HHKMAC.

Please consider the HHKMAC as a Group Buy. I need to reach about 25 of them. If we do not reach them, then I will return everyone's money. For the people who had ordered it already, I can still honor it to you. If you are planning to purchase the HHKMAC, then please send me an e-mail with your order number.

For the other Pre Order items, I'm going to sell them until we receive them through Pre Orders at a discount. I will throw out a certain amount at a time, and I will give a discount on them. At the end of each batch, I will sell a new batch with a lower discounted price.

I am also going to do a giveaway, but this would require a Facebook.

Any questions will be answered through a new thread. There are still more items to come.

Happy Mother's Day everyone. I hope everyone is having a good day. Make sure you take out your mom or wife to a special brunch or dinner!

sherryton · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 23:41:22 »

If you have not heard, we now accept Bitcoin through www.coinbase.com. We'll try a few personal payments before we work it to our web-site to see how it goes.

sherryton · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 04 June 2013, 19:32:47 »

A few changes on some of the sets we introduced.

The Russian Cryllic sets with pad print might not be of many people's taste. We will test these out with a few sets with only the keys that are pad printed. You can add them to your already Cherry key sets to mix and match.

The white on black set will take awhile to manufacture. It will come after the Dolch keysets. After we ship out the Dolch sets, we will do a pre order for the white on black set.

Many people are still asking about the KMAC Happy, so I will rerun a group buy.

sherryton · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 04 July 2013, 15:15:02 »

Happy July 4th. I hope everyone enjoys their day.

Unfortunately, we will not be making any shipping today. I will add new items to the web-site as soon as this weekend.

Nyan Cat is going to be really limited.

sherryton · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 13 August 2013, 13:59:59 »

I just checked my geekhack messages, and it is flooded.

I thought people have been e-mailing me instead since my e-mail are always flooded as well. I will respond to everyone's messages when I get on my main computer. It is hard to reply to everyone's message through this laptop. I'll also connect my geekhack message to my e-mail.

Please excuse me for this.

I'd like everyone to know, I am working on the Handarbeit set right now. I got most of the colors down, and I just need to confirm on a few more colors. I wanted to take a poll on the Purple modifiers, because many people already ordered them through a group buy. I wanted to know if there are enough people that did not order them if they would want it included in the Handarbeit set.

I'll get back to you guys soon.

originative · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 14 October 2013, 03:16:11 »

Our site and e-mail might not be working for the next 1~3 days. Please message me if you can through here instead.

originative · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 17 October 2013, 20:56:26 »

E-mail has been back up. If you have not receive your Dolch set yet, then please respond to the e-mails.

We are planning to ship things as soon as we fix some few problems. And if you like to purchase something from our web-store, then please send an e-mail to sales@originativeco.com.

I have a bunch of geek hack keys with black font on a red keycap in lowercase cherry font.

If you enter "geekhack key" on your note, then I will most likely send you a cap for free

Thanks for all the support geekhack.

I will keep this promotion ongoing. After these colors run out, I will produce new colors.

And if you donate to geekhack, e-mail me the picture at sheraton@originativeco.com, then I will send one to you free of charge.

sherryton · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 15:20:53 »

Most orders will be going out today.

sherryton · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 18:06:46 »

You get an e-mail, you get an e-mail, everyone gets an e-mail! I somehow got to package all of them, and I made it to the USPS in time. That was a long day...

Made a mistake. I still have a lot more to go actually.

sherryton · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 07 November 2013, 15:51:52 »

I just want to update you guys on shipping information because some of you guys might not know what Standard Post is.

First-Class Mail - This is like Priority Mail, but it is not always as fast. Only works with items under 13 oz.
Priority Mail - For packages past 13 oz., and it usually ships within 1-3 days depending on location.
Parcel Select (or USPS Standard Post) - This is when you care more about quality of handling the package than the speed of delivery.
Express Mail - This is their fastest service. Ships usually within 1-2 days to anywhere in the US country. The price is usually a lot higher.

sherryton · « **Reply #27 on:** Wed, 20 November 2013, 06:27:50 »

sherryton · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 29 November 2013, 14:47:38 »

Thanks a lot.

sherryton · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 12 December 2013, 03:22:39 »

Regarding the Black Friday set, there is a delay due to the wrong color they sent me. I am sending them the exact color as we are speaking, and the set should be redone and here in no time.

sherryton · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 20 December 2013, 14:57:48 »

Hello friends,

I am sorry about these past few days. We were totally busy these past few days because of the Holiday season. Light Saver should be out this week.

Black set, Colorful double-shots, and RGB will be delayed until Jan 1st. If you guys would like to cancel your orders, then please free to do so as soon as possible at support@originativeco.com.

Most of our inventory has been sold out, but we are planning to restock most of these products. If you are planning to order within the week, then please know that your order might not arrive to you in time.

Regards

Sheraton

Hello GeekHackers!

I am sorry about not updating recently. I have been hit with a very busy Holiday. My sister came to visit us. And right after Christmas, I flew to HK. I am flying to South Korea tonight. This is a dual purpose trip, for both business and sightsee/eating, and the food and the people have been very great so far. Today is New Years in Asia. I want to wish everyone Happy New Years.

There are a few problems with some of the items.

The Light Saver has just been shipped out on Monday (US time). The problem was that there was no bank account as I do not have a paypal account.

The Colorful doubleshots were delayed because of a bank currency exchange problem, and there was a problem from the manufacture. That should be ready soon.

The Black Otaku will be shipping anytime. There was a problem with getting the right color.

Again, I do not hold any obligations to hold anyone's money. If you would like a refund or want to ask us any questions, then please send us an e-mail to either johnson@originativeco.com or sheraton@originativeco.com. I am going to refund the money for the Handarbeit and Cyrllic. Except the Cyrllic and SoWaRe to here soon. That is all the updates for now. Thanks and Happy Holidays everyone.

P.S. Food Porn when I get back.
