I want 2 small box.

yes! that is insane! And I suggested to use 2 small boxes instead of the med box. but that would add work to the packaging people and also more chances of error.

When i ordered GB3 i got 4-5 small boxes (small poxes ) without any question/problem.

These americans look soooo complicated.
Is Geekhack Tea Party ?

you know, this is completely out of my control.

So it's Paypal then?

I've got confirmation that under 400 pieces you'll get 2 small boxes. I will update pricing tomorrow.

So samwisekoi said
Value: Cost before shipping
then prepare yourself to pay 19% or 21% or whatever VAT

It is not always the case we have to pay.

All my Round 3 stuff went through without any trouble.

Hint 1: small packages get easier through than large packages.
Hint 2: don't send as gift and state a value of $25 and delcare that there are cheaply made plastic key caps inside.

This.

Unfortunately this is not what samwisekoi is going to do
But i may have misunderstood

Also another GH GB op have told me the same thing, no undervalue
From an initial price of $180 it will go to $300 to my doorsteps, the raw cost of caps is only 60% of the total amount
Now the Originative prices are really interesting
Order halved

You are making me nervous...

Sorry
Now GH GBs aren't more affordable than Originative or, especially, GMK MOQ

Yep, as I already said on GH.

My intial raw cost of $79.13 went up to $134.61 (also calculated 19% VAT, since sam is stiff about undervalue).
Also my last GB with SP...

If someone doesn't want it anymore, let me know.
I'm after ISO UK layout, TKL, so would need these kits:

- kit 1
- kit 3
- kit 5 (ISO)
- kit 12 (extras, with £ key etc)
- 6.25 space bar

I've just cancelled
kit 1
kit 12
6.25 space bar
Ask matt3o if you can take my place for them then you can expand your order to the others items

If you put the real cost on the package thats another 25% (including shipping cost) + ~$16 fee for me. I think the value is far less than the cost for this, It's practically useless plastic . Just put a field on the ordering form where we can enter the value like e.g. Tenso.com do.

Just find a proxy!

We still can all add kits.

If someone wants to delete the entire order, just post here and when you found some latecomer, change shipping address and e-mail address accordingly.


So stupid not to let people join in while it is still possible to order more for those who joined already!

I know it is not mat3o's fault ...

I'm okay with this, I will pay via paypal then.

This guy is takling about "international Mail-Fraud"....

I really have to think about, wether I deleting my order or not.

PM me if you want to add an order. I'll try to sneak it

Also consider to merge order with others!

I've updated the final cost (for the better)

The changes are:

1) 250 keys limit for small box (many have added multiple spacebars and mods, 250 seems legit)
2) 2 small boxes instead 1 medium for international orders

This had a big impact on overall pricing!

Have a look at your order now. Mine went down $15!

Now make sure that we can opt for uninsured shipping. And I can't immagine the plastic thingies are worth more than $25 per package!

I'll ask Ron if he is willing to send untracked shipping when he wakes up

samwisekoi was clear about that

What do you mean by 250 keys limit?

pasph wrote:samwisekoi was clear about that

According to matt3o's post one above yours, he was asleep when he said he will not state the true value of $25 per box.

Yeah if you mark what we're paying rather than what they are really worth we're going to be bent over by the import nazis

he was not on skype so guessed he was sleeping...

So wait and hope

we will do from GMK next time. US residents will know what it means paying $60 in shipping Just checked and a package from IT to US costs €40-42. From IT to EU $12 1kg, $15 2kg. All tracked shipping.

That seems a good idea. Hopefully we may get language kits with GMK, although this is going to be difficult. Especially now that both Lysol and vendors are already getting keycaps produced, I guess that demand will decrease drastically unless you come up with a great idea once again.
