You could probably arrange that if you email Melissa.
Or MiTo could message her about it and maybe make it part of the GB that if one or both of the alternate layouts fail to tip, they default to Qwerty to keep the rest of the GB from falling apart..
I'd rather my order be changed to the cheaper QWERTY with full impact on the MOQ of QWERTY (49 people order qwerty, 3 people dvorak, 3 people move to qwerty and causes a new tier to be hit), as well as that tier and differing product being reflected on the invoice after the GB is over.
There's currently no way in this GB system to specify that ordered product A is dependent on ordered product B tipping, and alternate product C is acceptable in place of ordered product B, or cancel ordered product A if B fails
I'm sorry for taking so long to answer you guys, College has been killing me these past couple of weeks. I've got a last test on Friday and then I'll have a nice time window, I believe we'll be good.
Regarding these suggestions you guys made, I believe that the we can set a up a "If This Than This" system with Signature Plastics for Cospar.
Something like this:
* QWERTY Alphas are the main priority;
* Modifiers are the secondary priority;
* Dvorak and Colemak are both terciary;
- If both Colemak and Dvorak fail, both Dvorak and Colemak orders instantly combine with QWERTY orders, regardless of how many orders were placed for Colemak and Dvorak;
- If Colemak fails and Dvorak tips, Colemak orders combine with QWERTY orders, regardless of how many Colemak orders were placed;
- If Dvorak fails and Colemak tips, Dvorak orders combine with QWERTY orders, regadless of how many Dvorak orders were placed.
Problem is that I don't know if Signature Plastics will accept this (I think they will agree), but if they do, maybe customers will claim the following, in the future:
"But I wanted Colemak/Dvorak Alphas, and that only! Not getting Colemak/Dvorak is a deal breaker cause I don't own a QWERTY board. I want a refund!"
And in the worst case scenario, refunds will pile up to a point where the Modifiers will fall below their 50 MOQ tipping point.
We've got two options:
-> Set up the ITTT system mentioned above and hopefully, people won't complain if their layout (Dvo/Cole) eventually fail;
-> Offer a Base Set (QWERTY + Mods) and sculptured Dvo/Cole add-ons as child deals, like it was before my 'splitting update'.
What do you guys think?
