[Acanthophis]

Yeah, what's shipping gonna be to Germany?

[naokira]

Like a half-product from CM. Top that hasn't been painted or covered with this "soft tissue".
Simply plain panel.

I'd assume around $30-40 dollars, but I've sent a PM to all Germany buyers and you guys could do combined shipping.

Probably $30-40 range, USPS website is hard to find a definite answer.

They will have branding on the top side of the cover, the guy is able to sand them still, but that $15 dollar fee includes sanding and a paint job.

Let me know what you think.

Hi bud,

$30-40 is kind of high for postal, unless us Brits can work out a combined shipping, I'm afraid I might have to bail out.

I've mentioned a few times that doing a proxy for international orders would be a good idea.

Ok,

If no one is up for proxying, I'll do it for the UK only.

I would assume postal and packaging will not be more than £5 (for singles), providing CM Storm sells them with some soft of cardboard as packaging so I can just throw it into a bubble wrap postal packet.

Would that 30-40$ postal be regardless of weight? So how many confirmed orders to UK you have so far.

BTW my eBay reference available.

[naokira]

Whoaw 30-40$ is a bit too high i'll still order and will just cancel if its still around 30+ if that's no problem to you?

Unfortunately, you are currently the only one in UK. But there is some in Germany.

On another note, I'll be sending out invoices once I hear back from the painting company, hopefully tomorrow.

Alright due to no one actually ordering Pink, for some reason two people that wanted backed out. So please post in here with the third color you want along with red and white, highest number gets included.


Gupgup

[phinix]

Retro light grey / off-white / beige 

[xavierblak]

I'd be interested in a green.

Is there any chance of seeing a sample of the picked colors so we know which we'll like best?

Yes, I'll have a sample color code by Monday!

Will those of us who put in an order for unpainted cases, and no painted ones, be able to get our cases earlier? Or do you plan to ship all at the same time?

Yes you will be! I'll also be sending out invoices sometime tomorrow for those who ONLY ordered a regular case!

To give out a time frame, I'll be ordering the cases and getting the color codes and ordering paint on Monday.

I'll hopefully get them by Friday, and then he can start sanding and be ready to paint by the next Monday.

A couple coats should take a couple days, but he is working two jobs at the moment so who knows. Best case scenario is Wednesday he is done painting.

After that, I'll hopefully get everyones custom painted keyboard shipping out by the following Monday!

I think that is pretty good!

Good to hear, looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow 

[Gupgup]

Alrighty our third color is between purple and green.

We currently have 2 for both.

Can you tell how much would cost sending one unpainted case to UK?

[Gupgup]

I really don't know without going to the post office, which I will do tomorrow.

It says on the website that for a medium flat rate box (priority mail) it is $59.95, but that cannot be right.

I'll let you know tomorrow.

[Gupgup]

Question for you international people, is it cheaper to go from Germany to UK? I'm thinking about ways to help you international buyers out, and if it is I could send all international orders to one person and he could divvy them out.

Just thinking out loud!


Gupgup

[Tym]

don't fancy 60$ shipping to the UK lol.

[Gupgup]

Cases ordered!

$20 max for delivery would be fine, but that is too much... Pity...

From Germany to Uk it's 10,60 Euro by DHL incl. Tracking (up to 2 kg).

[Tym]

Do these have rubber on or not then, sorry if I have missed anything

[Gupgup]

They do, but I can have him sand them for your for a portion of the painters fee.


Gupgup

[Gupgup]

Great news everyone, looks like shipping international to UK/Germany/Philippines will all be around $12.75!!!

yay

Gupgup

Can you tell how much for sanding only?

Now, when we know that UK delivery will be $12.75, I'm ordering one for myself:)
I think I'm going to paint it satin ivory - it will look nice with retro DSA set of chocolate/cherry colors:)

I'm putting for plain cover, but need to know how much would cost sanding - is that ok?

[naokira]

Gupgup

YAAAAAY!!!! XD

[Gupgup]

I'll be going to the painters shop today to get a sample color book and get some codes for colors. Still undecided for the final color. Between green/purple now. The green will be a close match to the CCnG set green.

I'll also ask him what he'd charge for just sanding.

I'd really like to see a finished case, but I guess that can't really happen until it's too late?

[Lighthouse1]

Stupid newbie question but how easy are these to fit? I'd really like one but have never taken one of these apart before.

[Gupgup]

I'd really like to see a finished case, but I guess that can't really happen until it's too late?

I've been thinking about this also. The thing is this: I have about 15 cases taken/called for. The other 15 I plan on selling in my classifieds thread so I don't lose money. I ordered the 30 so people could get a case for 13.5 rather than 15$.

If you'd like to wait and see a finished case, please do. I will need to get rid of the remaining some 15 cases.

These last 15 will be painted 5 red 5 white and 5 of our third undecided color, also.


Gupgup

[aggiejy]

Sweet, sounds good.  I don't have a QFR actually, so I guess I'd need to get one.  (Unless it happens to fit some other PCB I have around here.)

[Gupgup]

Unfortunately, it isn't the whole case, so you'd have to get a bottom for it anyway :/

But then just some filing makes a lot of pcbs compatible I'm fairly sure!


Gupgup

[phinix]

What kind of white are you going to use? Matt or shiny?

[jalaj]

Which color would go well with the valentines set?  Purp?

[phinix]

Can I change my order please?
I ordered plain cover, but now I think I'm going to choose white painted.
Is it going to be matt, satin or gloss white?

Hey sorry I didn't get a chance to answer this when you asked before, I think it's going to be sort of gloss. But I can't say for sure yet.

That's ok, so please change my order to white. Cheers!

[naokira]

hey just wondering, will i get this on top of a ducky yotd? I have a qfr but i want to buy a ducky too.

[realex]

afaik the alu replacement case for filco/cm qfr in wfd's youtube video did not fit ducky, so i don't expect this one will either.

[Gupgup]

Update: I will be receiving the cases sometime next week, he'll sand one down and spray it so we can see the outcome. I'll post pictures then.

Thanks for your patience everyone. Will update again sometime next week, as I can't do much while I'm waiting for the cases :/

do you have an update on US shipping costs? I am fine with the slowest/cheapest option

[Gupgup]

Yes I knew I forgot to mention something.. thank you.

I will have to wait and update your invoice with the lowered shipping cost in a couple days, my PayPal account is under investigation because someone somehow logged on and sent themselves money, I'll update it as soon as I can. It will be $2.14 instead of $11.30, so that is awesome

Keegan, since you paid yours already I will also send you the difference I owe you for paying the more expensive shipping, this will also be done as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Dude, that's cheap! Not sure how it can be that cheap, but I am not complaining... thanks for the update. I hate for you to have to be out of pocket for too long, so let me know when I can send you that payment.

I know right?! It was insane to me at first, but yet I filled out the USPS form on Paypal and yes, it is $2.14!

And thank you for your concern, but the investigation should only take a few days at the most and I hope at this time to be able to send out all invoices.

Thanks everyone

Just a quick confirmation. Can I really use this with a Filco?

Additionaly, (I know this is kinda stupid) will the color blank be available for painting? I really dislike the branding on the back of the case.

judging by the fact the filco tkl and the cmstorm QFR look to have different areas where the usb cable goes out it doesnt look like the QFR top would work with the filco bottom, or at least not without some modding which would destroy this custom paint work.

if you had the full QFR case then i think it would fit but like the Phantom, the Filco has a standoff that is different from the CMStorm and it would have to be shaved down in the cmstorm case to fit it. not worth it really for the filco
