📰 September 17 2021: Shipment to four vendors begin!

Note: We realized we didn’t share the update from last month (which was posted on Discord and Instagram) here. Apologies for that! This September update will catch you up to everything that’s happened.

Yay it’s shipping!

We are very happy to announce that all four Series 00 group buy shipments have left our manufacturer and is on their way to Mechs & Co, Deskhero, Candykeys, and zFrontier.

Below is an estimated timeline of how long it will take for the group buy package to go from our manufacturer to the warehouses of each of our four vendors.

Vendor shipping timeline

The following timeline is the time it takes to go from our manufacturer to the warehouses of each vendor, NOT the time it will take to arrive to your doorstep.

Mechs & Co. — 45 to 50 days

Deskhero — 45 to 50 days

Candykeys — 8 to 10 days

zFrontier — 3 to 5 days

Why the long face shipping time?

I’m sure some of you may be asking, why are the shipping times all so different?

The answer is simple — each vendor uses a different shipping service (from short haul local courier such as within Asia to long-haul ocean freight for trans-pacific shipments). These were the best options available for each vendor to choose from.

I do apologize, however, for our inaccurate initial estimate of how long it would have taken for ocean freight to go from coast to coast. When we started our GB, the estimate given to us was about 25-30 days… which was all the way back in early 2021. Of course, with the pandemic + holiday shopping coming up in North America + global logistics bottlenecks (such as Apple shipping hundreds of millions of iPhones), the global supply chain is a bit stressed right now, which means for our North American friend, your product will be slightly delayed. But we promise it will arrive.

Once the product arrives in each four vendor’s warehouses, each vendor communicated to me that they will take about a week to unpack, sort, and ship each order.

If you have any advanced questions such as changing order addresses, inquiries on extras (such as when and how much), shipping timelines, shipping speeds, etc, please forward your questions to each vendor. They will be more than happy to help you out!

We will also share an updated shipping timeline graphic very shortly.

We appreciate your patience, and thank you for being part of our journey!
