[GB] PCB Mounted Cherry Stabilizers (shipping)

[Lpwl]

You can do crazy things with GON's website !

Something like this ...



... until logging-in :

[Cottonsox]

Ahh, that is probably where i went wrong. I assumed i was logged in, but at work it's wasn't setup.

Yeah it pops up a fair bit after. Still a bulk pack of 2u stabs (50) comes out $60usd shipped for me. Which is still cheaper then this buy. If your looking at buying bulk in anyway his website is still potentially cheaper.

 I think the initial shipping price point is not ideal for anyone. But when you get a few items in the cart as you have shown it is more then reasonable. I know that i was planning on stocking up and i think GON will end up being cheaper for me and i think it is a valid option if people are buying more then a couple of sets of anything. As you save more on the stabs then the increase in shipping costs vs the GB.

[awhitedev]

Mine is still $25.60 shipping for X number of stab sets.

Edit: Shipping goes up $10 or so every 25 sets.

Definitely, if you're going to buy bulk numbers by yourself, it is cheaper to get it yourself.

Like I've stated before, it is more convenient for those who want just 1 or a couple sets, since it is cheaper to have them proxied over rather than everyone having to order directly from a korean source.

I must have missed that post regarding bulk buying being cheaper and just wanted to highlight for people who were in a similar situation to me.

If anyone is interested the break point when using GON becomes cheaper is when i am roughly spending $60 - $65 (including shipping)

Bulk ordering yourself is cheaper for yourself, which is pretty much the reason I started this, because for people just wanting a couple sets can get it cheaper through this buy.

I understand that we're not strictly talking about GON's reliability, but the quantity purchased make it more worthwhile to order for yourself, but here's what I have to say for those thinking of ordering from GON.

I was initially going to do this proxy ordering bulk from GON, but a couple of reasons compelled me to go with Hojin.Yi from Winkeyless instead.

• It is very hard to get into contact with GON sometimes. I asked him about doing a bulk order on one day, and he answered immediately. The next day, I tried to contact him again, to no avail. Leaving him messages on Skype ALWAYS leads to nothing if he is not compelled to respond (left him 4 messages over the course of a month, and he did not reply to me once). On the other hand, emailing Hojin my questions led to a quick and detailed response.
• He has a history of not following up on shipping dates (promising to ship on certain days, but never meeting expectations).
• Neglecting to inform me of information regarding stock of parts leading to 3 month delivery date for a parts order to me.
• GON has also chosen to stop responding to people on GH, stepping away from his own subforum. If you look at his Q&A thread, you can see some examples of what I have detailed above..

Please take my words with a grain of salt. These are my PERSONAL experiences. I have placed two orders with GON, both have had some problems, but in the end he has delivered, just not in an expected timely manner.

edit: Honestly, I do not want to downplay GON's services. This post is also sort of off-topic for this thread, but I felt I had to say something.

[awhitedev]

This and the sticker GB that just opened up seem to have the same thing in common.

It's cheaper if all you want are a few pieces and don't want to pay for shipping around the world. Take it for what it is. Depending on the amount you want and where you live your results may differ. For us in murica... this is a great opportunity to save in shipping cost.

[Cottonsox]

Just going to say one thing in regards to GON and leave it at that.

I have had a few interactions with GON and all went very well. Even when communication was slow. When i locked in my order(s) my order was shipping within a few days.

When your talking about products that do not required his assembly services or moq's to be met, I honestly believe these are shipped in a very timely manner. 

I don't want people to be scared away from his site when it comes to certain products he sells.

Well if you are just looking for bulk 2u stabs buying them from an electronics supplier like mouser, which has the cherry 2u stabs for $0.88 at a quantity of 1 and dropping after that, might be cheaper:
Cherry G99-0224

And shipping starts at $4.99

Ceflame, you could possibly order all  extra 2u stabs from mouser to get a cheaper price if you get a number of orders for those.  You could probably save on the shipping from korea too if you could work out just getting the 6.25 stab bars from there and source all the stock parts locally.

Well.... I just did some searches, and you can even get cheaper than mouser (for the 2u stabs), I'll just leave this here for some thought:
Some even cheaper prices..

edit: ignore me I am an idiot and had the wrong part number there, all that is hidden above was for plate mount stabs, PCB mount ones are these
PCB mount 2u stabs

[hjc1710]

ceflame, can I alter my order? I want to drop 2 stabs and get some gold ones from SPRiT now that he's doing wires + plastic parts. I haven't paid my invoice yet.

Whatchu want me do? PM'd to start it.

[swimmingbird]

Down for 2 sets of complete 6.25

[TheOpposition]

I'm glad I saw this, in for 2 sets

[Lastpilot]

Received my invoice, it will be paid Wednesday night. Thank you ceflame!

[joey]

Filled the form!

[awhitedev]

How close to 100 sets are we now?

[ceflame]

How close to 100 sets are we now?

Don't think we will be able make it to 100 sets, unfortunately.

What's it at?

[ceflame]

I'm currently at 37 sets, not sure what Lpwl is at.

Not sure if Hojin will allow us to get the bulk pricing for our combined order numbers, but if we assume he will, and Lpwl is at similar numbers to me,
then we would still need ~25-35 more sets ordered.

3 more days left.

[Lpwl]

How close to 100 sets are we now?

There is some good news regarding this !

Right now, it's the middle of the night in California but - no worries - ceflame will explain everything in a few hours.

#hype! If we're close to the price break it might motivate people to buy more to meet it. Even if it is just a 10% break

[ceflame]

Hojin has offered us the 10% discount regardless of hitting 100 sets or not.

He is offering 10-20% discounts on most options on his site (including pcb/housing) if members are looking to run group buys for parts.

Unfortunately, since we were not fully anticipating reaching the 100 MOQ for 10% price drop, we had already sent out and received invoices from most people who have joined.

Here is what we have decided to do, since it would be a lot of work for me and Lpwl. If you have already joined, we are offering you a partial refund of $0.90 per TKL set or $1.20 per full set (numbers will be so-so in Euro) by request. Just send a PM to me (US buyers) or Lpwl (international buyers). Otherwise, your money will go towards supporting us .

Subsequent buyers (now until the end) will still be paying our original set GB price for consistency. Thanks!

[Lpwl]

Last day to order !

[radio_killah]

Edit. Sent you a pm.

[swimmingbird]

Come on guys you know you want some of these for that project you plan on doing! Get in on it!

If there's any non-paying orders, I'd love to take over 1x TKL stabilizer set. I thought there was more time left on this buy for some reason and missed the order deadline >.<

Man that was quick

[quantalume]

I see I missed out on this, but if anyone decides they don't need/want theirs, or if there are any leftovers, please let me know.  I haven't been able to find any that can be delivered to the US for a reasonable price (< $25).  I need a set with a 6.25x spacebar stab.  Thanks.

Edit: Saw that ceflame ordered a couple extra sets.  PM sent.

[Lpwl]

Great news : I received my package from winkeyless.kr this morning !



> I already counted (twice - ehm ... just to be sure haha) and sorted every INTERNATIONAL orders.



This doesn't look much but it kept me busy for several hours 


Everything will be sent out either Wednesday or Friday (note : Ascension Thursday = public holiday).

I will send shipping confirmation with a picture of your package (and tracking number for those concerned).

[suicidal_orange]

Wow, that was fast!  Should be here next week if the O-rings are anything to go by, I'd best get started...

Thanks Lwpl

[Lpwl]

All INTERNATIONAL orders (minus one) were shipped Wednesday.

The last one went out this morning

[cmadrid]

That was quick

[awhitedev]

That was quick

Indeed. I wonder how the US side of things is going?

[onishima]

Ugh, sad I missed this...

Shipping taking a bit longer than expected

Tracking shows that it has departed Los Angeles USPS facility and is on the way to me.

I'm expecting to be able to ship everything about probably mid-next week.

[ceflame]

Package came in! I'll see if I can get it sorted and shipped out by Monday.

[ceflame]

Everything is packed and ready to go on Monday.

My current extras (US):
2x 6.25x TKL sets
3x 7x TKL sets
a lot of 2x wires

Going to wait until everyone receives their orders to make sure I didn't miss anything, so these are on hold for now.

[Flyersfan1]

Thanks so much for your hard work in making this such a quick turnaround guys!

[Sed8op8]

Thanks so much for your hard work in making this such a quick turnaround guys!

^^^^ this!

[ceflame]

No problem guys

By the way.. PM me if you want your tracking number. Otherwise, just expect it to be in your mailbox probably sometime this week.
