UPDATE 02
Latest update is here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/bj4oyi/update02gb_wonderland_pcb_lubrigante_acrylic_case/
Short version:
We decided to do
two colors, black and white silkscreen PCBs! Meaning you can
now change your order if you dont want your order of black
or white or if you picked anything else or dont care and you
DONT want black. All choices that arent black or white will
default to black! Let me know asap, if possible on discord:
https://discord.gg/t2rrhfg
If you have selected 2 PCB’s you can now pick one of
each, black and white, if you want. If you don’t let me know
it will default to black on the second PCB as well!
FINISHED - As of December 2019
In total we sold nearly 750 cases with around 200 of
them wildcard R2 versions through over 500 orders!
In 4
orders we had broken layers which were replaced for free
right away, one package went to the wrong address but was
forwarded by the neighbor, one was sent back because the
recipient had moved and we delivered it to the new address.
Not a single package was lost, as far as we know. Packages
had an average delivery time of 11 days, with one being in
California within 5 days and the fasted went to Germany and
was delivered in under 48 hours. We also had 60 packages
stuck in US customs for 3 weeks.
We did had two
complaints that I remember, one about the wrong standoffs
and one about a not smooth outline.
Overall the group
buy took from around April to September and the last 200
cases were send mid December 2019.
99% of the delay was
due to the insane amount of 5mm acrylic we had to order that
was just not available at any distributor anywhere near to
us or the countries over. We had to order directly at
Perspex in the UK, in case of the matte black. They
literally had to cast us industrial sized sheets of 3x2
meter and then cut and transport it across the EU to us.
Same applies to the GMK Striker Blue color that was made in
Italy specifically for this group buy. Our matte (frosted)
acrylics were all double side which is not only the most
expensive version but also very uncommon, hence we had to
buy the 5mm double side frosted clear from all three
different distributors in Poland. We waited a total of 3
month just for the acrylic to be ordered, scheduled,
manufactured and/or delivered.
As a reminder, 5mm
Perspex custom made double side frosted for just $68 is an
absolute steal.
The cost is also reflected in our
income and final profit. After all total cost (not including
labour) and post taxes we made a stunning $4 per case. That
comes out to a total of $3,000 profit for many month of
labour of producing, transporting, storing, packing,
shipping, customer support, …
I will complete and
update this post over the week to give more insight about
the whole process in preparation of the next rounds of this
case and other projects.
