Thank you for the amazing support. We are truly humbled by the overwhelming response after the first day.
We have reviewed the orders (counted and re-counted the orders several times) from the first day. We ran out of the first 100 Kailh nutcrackers within the first 5 hours, and 300 MX nutcrackers within the first 13 hours after the GB opened. Thank you for all your support!
Some of you have requested for a check list of your orders and many of you want to know whether your order is part of Batch 1 or Batch 2. Our operating principle is that we will do our best to get the Nutcrackers to you as soon as possible, and in as fair a way as possible. We want to serve those who submitted their orders and made payment within the timeframe first. This means that the nutcrackers from those who put an order, but do not make payment by the deadline, will go to the next order. We hope that this is fair.
We have the orders in the check list, and
the batch 1 / batch 2 will be updated and released after we have received and processed all payments. (This is so that we can reflect all changes, should there be buyers who ordered, but later changed their mind and did not pay, etc.)
In our review, we also notice that there are buyers who are within the first 300 for the MX, but are beyond the first 100 for the Kailh. After careful consideration, we feel that it would be fairest to reserve the MX for you, and once the Kailh nutcrackers are available, we will ship your order out> we will try our best to get these to you as soon as possible (we will label these as “Batch 2 priority”, as the Kailh nutcrackers will be Batch 2).
Thank you so much. We will do our best to get the invoices to you as soon as possible. I wish we had elves to help out!
There is a CHECK LIST FORM: https://goo.gl/5pdcrUSome FAQ on the GB (updated nov 30, 2018)
More
- What's this batch 1 & batch 2 thing? We posted about the first 400, read about it here. We will produce/process all order placed during the GB, including those after the first 400.
- When will i find out whether i'm in batch 1 or 2? We'll indicate this in the check list after we process all payments.
- Why are there some that are further down the list, not issued an invoice, but are marked as paid? We are updating this here because we want to be transparent about it. We are based in Singapore do accept local bank payments. Some buyers have already transferred us the payment, and marking it on the check list is a show of confirmation that we have received it on our end. This does NOT mean that they will get the nutcracker first. As mentioned in the "update to check list" blurb (please read it), we will honour those that ordered and settled payment, in sequence of the order form.
- I'm based in Singapore, can i do a bank transfer? Sure! To find out more details, please PM ilouis_07 here.
- Can I change or edit my order? Tl;dr answer: yes, but you'll need to resubmit your order (read long answer here).
