We wanted to give you a quick update regarding news we received from the manufacturer earlier today that affects the fulfillment time.
Some communication errors with another customer pushed things back by a couple weeks and was then further compounded by the unexpected scale of their order. The manufacturer is already working overtime and doing as much as they can to catch back up to minimize the delay caused by this.
The current estimate is that the entire SA line has been pushed back by 4-5 weeks and is impacting our three drops for the Amazing Chocolatier, Godspeed, and Dasher & Dancer.
We are working closely with SP and will update everyone if anything changes
YanboWuWas this emailed to customers at all, or are you banking on people missing out on this if it gets buried in the comments? Didn't MD just have a big change in how updates were going to be sent out in that it was going to be email rather than a comment in the discussion section? This is the type of update that would reach a lot more people who are interested in knowing the status if it were emailed vs. just a comment.
ngeneratorCurrently the only way of really knowing when this type of stuff happens is by checking the mechanical keyboard subreddit where other users are watching everything like a hawk. I heard of what's actually going on at SP from a thread about the build up and delays talking about how pretty much all their sets are pushed back. It's a shame but not Massdrops fault, so they'll probably mention the SP hold up on the update scheduled for 2/8.
abperiasamyYea we all purchased back in that time period. Simple waiting and hype game until the keycaps are finally made. Official update went out like five minutes ago saying a whole month of delay is now expected. Hoooooray :/
weston990If it's only a month I'll be surprised. SP is buried down their neck and they are struggling to dig out, they should never have accepted so many sets to be scheduled but alas, people always think they can until they can't which theoretically is a good thing... Until it's not.
abperiasamyFor those thinking of canceling, PLEASE hit me up. I'm looking for a GB spot or spots for:
Solar Alphas
Modifiers
Novelties
Calculus
TsaFox
Labs
This is one of my favorite sets so please help me out!
mclarkThey sent an update via email last Monday, I wouldn't expect another update for at least another week. I'll copy the update here as it seems they couldn't be bothered to post them in the comments anymore.
"We have just received unfortunate news from Signature Plastics regarding the production cycle for the Godspeed Custom Keycaps. Apparently production did not start as planned in April, and the delivery date has been once again pushed back. This delay is due to the backlog of other keycap sets that are currently on the production line. We do not yet have a revised ETA on the order, but we will relay any information we receive as quickly as we get it. We understand your frustration with these delays, if you would like to cancel your order instead of waiting, please contact Community Support using the “Contact Support” button in your transactions page."
