I have all the boxes and started labeling them and packing. I might be able to get everything done tomorrow since I'm working 10 hours today and just swapped to morning shift at work so tomorrow I can get home by around 1:30pm or so instead of 7-8pm.

Did these get in the mail yet?

Does anyone know which vendors will be selling these after the group buy is over?

Wow Daniel I really apologize for that, I mentioned in pm that there would be bags of 1000 pieces. One directly go to Techkey so everyone can buy a few later on.

I hope so! I really need switch covers to reassemble some switches--for a while now. I have more switch bottoms and stems than available covers atm

I didn't get the boxes to the post office and now Monday is a holiday

Tuesday everything should be dropped off.

Great! Thank you for the update

For a second I was thinking to myself "since when did Americans celebrate Thanksgivings this early?" cause Monday is Thanksgivings for us Canadians

)

But did a quick Google search and I see it's Columbus Day

danielucf · « **Reply #311 on:** Wed, 16 October 2013, 12:35:34 »

The 25 American orders are shipped. The Canadian and France orders will go out soon as well. I might have spilled some crap bag keys into the boxes.

PS: only one person didn't pay their shipping but I sent theirs anyways.

Got my box on the 18th. Thanks kinruan!

I ordered a pack of 100, and received 101 whites + 1 red cover. 7 covers had one bent leg, 1 cover had two bent legs with one of them having a small crack. Most switch covers could be bent back without damage, but some that were bent back had a tiny dent at the top of the switch housing. Also received 1 switch cover that was completely missing a leg, and it's no where to be found in the bag so I assume it was already broken. Most of the bent leg switch covers were on the top left of cover, where the break-off point of the mold are.

Also another note, most of the switch covers had an extra tiny bit of plastic at the bottom end of the top left leg where the molds were broken off of. (Molds were broken off on the side, but there's a tiny bit of plastic residue at the bottom). Just take a nail clipper or some flush cutters and trim it off if you're picky.
I believe there was also 2 or 3 covers that had a nipple on the underside of the cap under the "abostudio" logo. Take a nail clipper or flush cutters and trim those off too.

Overall happy with the results. The covers also seem to be just a tad tighter & snugger fit than the stock cherry one...or I may have played a bit too much with my Ducky keychain switch

received. thanks danielucf!

MOZ · « **Reply #314 on:** Sat, 19 October 2013, 06:52:00 »

Yes thye do fit a bight tighter, some of my switches stick a bit, I had to slightly shave off from the inside.

calavera · « **Reply #315 on:** Sat, 19 October 2013, 14:15:11 »

Got em today. Not sure why but I got some random ass key caps in there as well. Thanks!

^it's daniel's way of getting rid of his useless keycaps from his crapbag purchase

They look pretty slick with switch stickers:

Used switches. They don't always look pretty.

I received a bag of clear covers when i ordered red ones.... wtf.

The manifest of orders to people/addresses has you listed as clears so that is what Kinruan sent to me, to proxy to you *shrug*

I do have 81 reds I could swap the clears for if Kinruan can't fix the mix-up but it would not be fair to get 19 fewer switch tops. In the spreadsheet 87 transparent package is next to 87 red package so he could have accidently put a 1 in the wrong square or something along those lines.

See, I messaged him a while ago about this... I told him I could re order, but he said "no i'll get it" or something like that, I dont quite remember. I can pull up the PM

EDIT: checked the PM, he told me to make a new order, I asked him if he saw it, he said yes.

I just followed the parts/shipping manifest he gave me and everything matched the orders perfectly. I physically don't have an extra set of reds. You are going to have to take this one up with kinruan since I was just the middleman. I will message him too to try and get his attention sooner.

rarar · « **Reply #328 on:** Thu, 24 October 2013, 15:11:53 »

Wasn't trying to blame you! I have a feeling the problem was on kinruan's end. But I appreciate the help daniel

danielucf · « **Reply #329 on:** Thu, 24 October 2013, 16:37:11 »

I didn't think you were blaming me, just wanted to let you know that I would help every way I can. I have messaged Kinruan so hopefully we can work everything out and get you the red switch covers.
