I really love the idea of the group buys. But knowing myself and most of my fellow community members this process takes a bit too long. I rather pay the extra few bocks for regular retail cost and have my items in under a week. If you guys got stuff straightened out with the manufacturers and were able to get consistent delivery times this would really be a hit. I was about to jump into the Poker II and V60 drops. But luckily the Poker II happened at the wrong time for me. So I ended up ordering both from another retailer. This drop closed 2 weeks ago. I ordered a Poker II and last Friday a V60 and both will be here wayyy before the keycap sets.
ChinoI feel the same way Chino. This is my first Mass Drop, and at this point I would of gladly paid $8 more for a product like this to have same week delivery. I would totally understand waiting an extra businessweek for something to start shipping because of the extra bulk discount, but it's been 2 weeks and Mass Drop hasn't even gotten the product yet. I know this isn't Mass Drop's fault, but it completely discourages me from ever using the service again. So it will be 3 weeks before Mass Drop gets the product, and then I'm expecting another week for Mass Drop to process and ship our orders. A month is just too long, Mass Drop should really only work with manufactures that will have the orders shipping to Mass Drop within a day or two of the Drop ending. I definitely cannot rely on the site for purchasing presents or for things I need replaced quickly.
