Need LOTS moar orders!

Especially yellow, which has only just scraped ahead of green, not that it is a race or anything.

If the situation does not change, looks like KeyPop's polycarb space bars will be a big hit!

Not a single order today?! Let's get the orders rolling in now!

That's sad

Maybe someone should design a sig banner to get the message out?

Hey Elton,

Can shadowved handle the orders for singapore? That might bring down the international shipping

I wouldn't mind helping out if he's busy

Definitely, but is he willing to? Have you spoke to him about it?

You can try posting over at /r/mechanicalkeyboards about this. I posted over there for the full 104 buy and I think a number of them placed orders (don't forget the community is pretty large at 15000 subs). Just a heads up to not leave them out. If you want me to do the post, let me know.

BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if the post gets removed if you link directly here or if you make a text post and type geekhack without calling it geekwhack. I think my first post I made was deleted because I linked directly here, but the reminder post wasn't removed.

Is it possible to lower MOQ with a price hike? I know it would require a new form for everyone to re-commit but I am just shooting out ideas here.

I don't want this to cancel.

Unless they produce something different, I don't think there will be a repeat GB for a long time.

Apart from the multiple sets that various individuals have bought (including me), a vendor or two have bought lots too, so these will be available from various GH sources for a while.

Elton can later down the road ask about possibility for different color sets besides this GB + the off center stemmed capslock stepped capslock can be added along with the 6.25 uni space bar. There can be other colors such as: orange, purple,brown, grey etc etc etc....

And hopefully they will visit this little thread.

Although everyone in the original Tai Hao GB should have received an email pointing them to this thread. I did.

bazemk1979 · « **Reply #177 on:** Wed, 18 September 2013, 22:47:17 »

If numbers are not met I'm going to double the order, aka 2 of each color space bars instead of 1, but wont do that till there is a final closing date.

bazemk1979 · « **Reply #178 on:** Thu, 19 September 2013, 14:12:33 »

Some people might not like this but I'm just going to copy/paste what I wrote Elton. I just never understood people that are aware of GB that's going on and then when the GB is closed they come in a week later complaining that they thought that they had more time to play around, or they forgot, or they got too busy ( sure not having 5 minutes to open GH, click on the forum form and fill it up?)

Full sets are in production, numbers we reached with full sets were crazy, the only reason we never reached those numbers faster is because people were insecure because there was no 6.25 space bar in it. WTF is going on now?!?!?! We don't have just 6.25 space bar, we have a universal one that will fit any board that uses 6.25 including the wako Leopold one.... This is pure laziness guys, so this is what I suggested to Elton, its up to him what he wants to do.

GB MOQ
« Sent to: elton5354 on: Thu, 19 September 2013, 14:02:20 » Reply Quote Delete: Elton can you ask Tai Hao rep if they are flexible to work with us if we don't reach the 400 MOQ? maeby they can bump up the price, maeby you can tell them that we are numers met from 200-250 trough out all 5 sets, if we get a positive answer and price bump is not too hefty dude, at least you can give another week for closing date on the GB and that's it. You already sent all those emails letting peeps know that there is a GB for uni spacebars, what I noticed that people like to do is come week or 2 after the GB is closed and complain that they thought that the GB was gonna be open for around a month.....

Do not forget, tooling takes a month, then another month for production, then mailing to you maeby 10 days until u receive them, then you mail them and that takes time too maeby for some peeps up to 2 weeks until they receive them....... that's 3 months after closing the GB, my opinion is ask Taio Hao so we can have a soon closing date and do not depend on those peeps that they like to drag their asses and come at the last minute thinking that the GB will be still waiting on them.

One of each (well now 2 of each), just got yellow halfway to its MOQ.

Okay, I'm going to close the order form on Oct 6 and start invoicing.

The MOQ does not need to be 2000 anymore. The quantity is fine right now for them. I've already sent them a space bar and they'll send me a mock up sample when they are done.

That's great news. Will this affect the timeline you outlined much? I would imagine the production time would be slightly less, but it seems like if it's only 1,300 spacebars, other faster methods of shipping might be plausible.

Let's hope so

They might not be another SP (who go out of their way to cater for GH's small and random orders), but if they will at least drop MOQ or consider different colours or new keycaps, at this price I suspect there might be a GB every year or so, so that all the new members can grab a couple of sets of cheap DS sets.

I've added the shipping cost to the spreadsheet, but I'm not 100% sure how many space bars is the limit to ship with the cheapest option. It probably has to be flat with a single file of space bars. As for Canadian shipping, it was estimated to be more than US/International shipping with the same specs for some reason (US/Int: $8.50 inc. materials, Cdn: $10.XX for shipping alone). So I'll have to stop by the post office to double check the shipping cost in person.

Regarding Shipping:

I hope it's possible to ship the spacebars along with our original Tai Hao order. Or do you want to separate those two GBs?

I'd prefer one shipment for everything I ordered from you. I know I'll have to wait longer to get both, but I wouldn't use the sets without the spacebars anyway
