Krytox GPL 200 [All have finally arrived]

[The_Ed]

A whale AND 3 spacebars...

[pasph]

Have you seen Feng's smart GBs?
Pay up front and then compile the order form!

[The_Ed]

There's a problem in your logic. I had to get INVOICED first to get the prepay price for a set quantity. How could I possibly have had people pay beforehand? With Feng he can order any amount he wants at a fixed price (I assume, correct me if I'm wrong).

[webwit]

Advancing it was generous and speeds up the group buy. Thanks!

[The_Ed]

I'm glad some people appreciate it. Pasph just seems to want to blame the dropouts on me for some reason.

[pasph]

Where's the problem? You have a fixed amount of items to order, estimate the price then add some good % for all cases
It's a market, remember?
-------------------------------------
Absolutely i don't want to blame you! I have re-taken my slot to support your effort, your way is THE way these things have to be done! And i want to thank you to be here.
I just was trying to be sarcastic (not so well, i know)
Never mind, I'm just a little disgusted lately

[Icarium]

I appreciate you doing this in the first place and even more so that you're doing it with financial risks for yourself!

[The_Ed]

Let The Waiting Game officially commense!

It should be ~1-3 weeks until the lube gets shipped to me considering I sent the prepay on the 15th and lead time is 4-6 weeks.

[The_Ed]

NET amount from the past 7 days - $897.30

Switch and keycap orders are a constant, but the lube GB pushed my paypal balance to the highest it's ever been. I guess this is nothing for those of you that do all those SP GBs, but it's a lot for someone like me who works at Arby's.

Grats! Next goal, $1000!
Oh, and can I get a sammich with my lube? I don't have Arby's here

[The_Ed]

I was just going over my numbers and freaking out a little... Until I realized I donated €10 to DT...

EDIT: All orders were rounded up to the nearest 50cents so there should have been a few dollars extra. Especially with the gift payments by some people. But I was negative $1.85 because I donated €10 to DT. I should have added 50cents more to every order.

[Batmann]

Sorry about the last minute drop out
blame USPS!
That sudden rise in shipping costs spread on pending orders changed the game :/

[The_Ed]

I wonder if people get embarrassed when I ship their orders in reused pink/feminine product bubble mailers that my mom gets all the time. Lucky for you guys I raided my dad's bubble mailer stash. Though his stash was raided from [REDACTED] beforehand...

We are now at ~0-2 weeks until the lube gets shipped to them/me.

[Acanthophis]

I want one of those pink bubble things!
Make sure to include a lot of hand drawn hearts! Also, the word 'lube' has to be omnipresent.
I won't be too upset if you don't put a bow on it, but I will be to a certain degree.
Also include nicknames in the from/to section.
For example:
To:

• "Mr. Lubealot"
  [actual address]
  GERMANY

In short: Gay it up as much as you can! Maybe the Zoll will be too embarrassed and they'll let my package through. Or the opposite will happen... but worth a shot!

[The_Ed]

I have half of a pink bubble mailer left. I'll try to remember to use it for your lube. I would rather not give Der Zollamt a reason to inspect your package "Mr. Lubealot"... I may get my sister to draw something on it though (no promises, and it may be in Japanese...).

[Acanthophis]

I've got plenty of tentacle porn, no need for that, thank you very much.

[The_Ed]

PS: He doesn't use lube.

[pasph]

[The_Ed]

Holy Fucking Asscrackers Batman!

[Halverson]

Lube ahoy!

[The_Ed]

First contact - 12/20
Asked for an invoice - 1/8
Paid - 1/15
Put on top of my head by my little sister - 2/19

This was the last I heard...

Hello,

Yes. The order was processed. The lead time is 4-6 weeks on the GPL. I will let you know when it ships from Dupont with an expected arrival date.

I guess since it arrived early I can't complain...

[pasph]

Just arrived?!!!

[The_Ed]

Yeah I know! Less than 2 months after first contact I received what I ordered direct from the factory. If only all groupbuys could be this fast.

Anyone else notice that the tubes seem to be particularly grungy? I wonder why that is when they are brand new...

[rindorbrot]

Awesome! I can't wait to try it out.

[The_Ed]

After these get shipped out, what lube(s) should I do next from the greases 200-207? I believe the minimum order of 6 does not apply to 202-207. I'm thinking at least 202 as it is in-between 200 and 205. But I'll probably order everything that gets enough orders. I fear there will be too many orders for the oils 100-107 so I will refrain from offering to do those for now.

I'm gonna populate another of my switch-try PCBs with Krytox 200 lubed switches later. I just opened my tube and limmy may be right about separation in the thinner greases. I squeezed and shook it vigorously and that seems to have mixed it back up quite well.

[Acetrak]

Hurray for early delivery! Btw I PM'd you about shipping The_Ed

[The_Ed]

After you vigorously squeeze and shake the tube it's just fine. Remember to do that everybody.



Acetrak - That address is in the paypal payment so you're good.

[The_Ed]

On GH the war in my signature has begun once again! Whoever's doing it needs to fuck off!

The google cache is a nice feature, now if only it archived farther back...



Oh and the lube will probably ship out on Monday.

EDIT: Found some old pics and realized more stuff was secretly deleted... I have them in order now (I think). There are obviously a lot of missing changes. There's a really good one that they deleted, and I cant find a pic of it!



Lets see what happens next.

EDIT2: Now I know who it was, and he deleted the entire thing now! Partially changing and deleting bits wasn't enough I guess...



No freedom of speech at GH, this is the second time reaper has spanked my peepee for swearing...

EDIT3: I did what he asked, just not in the way he expected... DON'T TASE BAN ME BRO!

[The_Ed]

I shipped 7 out of 14 packages I have today. I will *maybe* ship the other 7 tomorrow.

I asked for tracking on 3 packages, and yet they put it on a 4th. So a cherry PCB-mount stabilizer order now has tracking... I wonder what the final postage amount will be (and whether or not I collected enough...). I don't seem to pack with a consistent weight, so some are a few dollars more/less. If another lube GB happens from me I will pad the price accordingly to the actual postage prices from these tubes.

[jcrouse]

If you need a few extra bucks drop me a pm, no problem.
