Because some people didn't get PayPal emails with their tracking numbers, I've put the order numbers and tracking numbers in a viewable spreadsheet at
All orders placed via donutcables.com have been shipped as of approximately 1530 this afternoon. There should be an email from PayPal with your tracking number, but let me know if there isn't since PayPal did give me a bit of trouble with the very earliest orders.
Got a tracking number this morning, so sets are moving even more quickly than anticipated.
Hopefully we'll be looking at the sets on me and the proxies' doorsteps by the end of Feb.

https://donutcables.com/product/gmk-royal-alpha-round-2/Price for the base kit at 250 units is $135.
Current MOQs:
- Green Base Kit - 213/250
- White Mods Kit - 44/150
- International Kit - 14/100
- Spacebars - 179/150
Green Base Kit is really close to the 250 price drop point and I've extended the buy period until Friday to see if we can get the base kit to the 250 point.
Edit: finally got more quotes from GMK and I'm ready to get this started again. The "Green Mods Kit" and "Alphas Kit" have been combined into the "Green Base Kit", just like tons of people suggested, but I was a bit stubborn and failed at trying to please everyone. Go ahead and say "told you so" if you want, I'm prepared for it. But yeah, the price is noticeably better now for everyone that wanted the green mods. Both my store and the stores of my proxies should be updated over the next couple days and anyone that already ordered will be receiving either a refund for the price difference or an email to discus options due to kit adjustments.

Prices aren't as low as I wanted them to be, but with the Euro almost 8% higher than when I ran Coniferous and the size of these kits, it's difficult to keep the price low. Someone pointed out "still lower than aftermarket tho" and that's true.
This is being run through my store this time instead of a Google form, meaning that not only do I not have to manually send out invoices, I also don't have to invoice separately for shipping like I did with Coniferous, saving everyone and myself some time. This does mean that I'll have to manually refund people for hitting price points, but that's worth it.
PLEASE make sure and read the entire description for important details before attempting to purchase.

In regards to shipping, I have implemented automatic shipping calculation at checkout which according to my testing is working fine. For anyone in the CONUS shipping is via USPS Priority mail with insurance included. For Canada and other international there are two different options: First Class International which DOES NOT include insurance, and Priority International which DOES include insurance. Please read my disclaimer in the description of the GB page which elaborates on the two different methods.
