2. Group Buy/Price Information
Group Buy Website: https://arctangentkb.com/collections/design03-alice
Updates: https://discord.gg/DtXAGKG3sm
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arctangent_kb/
Start Date: March 20, 2021 - 9:00 AM EST
End Date: April 17, 2021 - 9:00 AM EST (4 week duration)
Timeline: Estimated ship date would be 6 months (October 2021)

  • I will do my absolute best to move this estimate to the left.
  • Reason why this is 6 months is due to the fact that every case will have the protective layers removed from the acrylic and every case comes assembled.
  • After the first two weeks of the GB phase (1/2 way through), procurement and manufacturing will begin to take place.
  • Constant updates will be given either through my discord server or through Instagram (both linked above).
  • However, if there is an exponential demand for this case further than I currently imagine, I kindly ask to reserve the right to either limit the number of orders,
    adjust the estimated timeline, or adjust the fulfillment schedule for order in waves
