Good morning! Had some pretty good sleep last night.
Look what arrived in the mail this morning?!
CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING THIS PHASE TO COMPLETION. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S TO COME
Congrats on a very well run GB
Congrats on a great groupbuy Karura, hyped for my first GMK set to arrive in 2016!
Just want to restate how insanely good of a job you've done running this so far Karura, your enthusiasm is obvious
Congratulation!
Well run GB, really can't wait for the keycaps
Kuddos to Karura
Thanks! It helps to have a fabulous community jump aboard this ridiculously ambitious and monstrous set.
Congratulations to everyone who joined in! We'll have a great set.
I checked my keyboards and keysets last night and decided against it in the end, my wallet can't take it.
What's left is that photokeqs Classic (<MOQ) and even more so your Skidata had the best key selection available to date. I really hope there will be more GMK sales like that which will make the cut at some point in the future.
I also hope to see more GMK (in good colourways) in the future! I'm quite good friends with photato, and honestly quite sad that his Classic Beige didn't make it.
I've still got atleast one more GB in me, and already have ideas on a very classic colourway that hasn't been run yet.
That said, will be taking good care of this one first, then we'll see how it goes after
SKIDATA+ has been shipped out.
Oh nooo! I missed the deadline :-( Is there any way I can still jump on board for a set of colour modifiers?
Send me a PM, I'll get it sorted. No guarantees how long I can do this for, so if you're interested, message me today and I'll have it arranged.
Can't believe I missed this by a few hours! Literally just discovered the thread this morning (GMT). Any chance I can still get in on this?
Thanks
It's not a problem, I just have to make a manual invoice.
Please PM me with details, and I'll ask Zeal in the morning, since the shop page is officially closed.
I PM'd, let me know if you don't see it. Wasn't clear if it sent properly or not!
Thanks
Received and replied!
Just a silly question, which has probably been answered somewhere.
Will GMK be sorting the sets?
Yes, GMK will be sorting these in baggies, and it is reflected in the pricing.

Not sure if Zeal or Karura is doing the shipping, but whoever ships it will sort it. GMK does not sort.
GMK will be sorting it in baggies, I will personally be packing and shipping
SKIDATA+ myself, along with a few other members of the community.
I'll be flying to the US to ship these myself, so have no worries.
Also, I might as well say it for the record, my plane ticket and trip costs are NOT reflected in the pricing... it's on me.
If it's a project I'm running, you can be sure that I'll be doing my best to ensure that everything is done properly and smoothly.

Did you miss the TA group buy shipping fiasco?
GMK will certainly sort for a fee.

But that was MD. I didn't know GMK would sort
GMK shorted it and shipped in bulk with the keys already in their packaging to MD. Massdrop then took each individual tray and shipped them out to everyone.
This is correct.

MD did not do the sorting for GMK. They simply fed the the sorted sets through their shipping fulfillment warehouse.
When a commercial for-profit entity like Massdrop runs a group buy, they only care about the profits, and will not be doing their best to ensure things are done properly, such as packing and whatever. This is why I would never put something I care about through a commercial entity unless there's some sort of guarantee that they are willing to make the extra effort to make sure things are done right.
SKIDATA+ has been a labour of passion, and while I respect commercial entities for their ability to market, reach mass audiences on a whole different scale of operations, I would probably be uncomfortable in handing over
SKIDATA+ to one of them.
It is only in some community-run group buys where the organizers will be more careful and care more about how things are done, to make sure things are produced properly, and do not get damaged in the process.
We will not be using trays, as that adds to the cost, and the keycaps will still risk getting damaged in transit.
For extras like Orange and Grey spacebars, I will just add them to the already pre-sorted bags.
