Reply to comment by jellykey in [GB] 8-bit Series: Gaismas Kingdom by jellykey

That's not an answer though. Why tell people you expect shipments in 90 days after the GB ends when you had no way to hit that target? You've run multiple raffles and GBs since Retro TV Galaxy Thieves closed, so it's clear you're oversubscribed and using GBs to pull in more funds while not delivering in a timely fashion.

I dont think you know whats going on. Dont pretend its clear.

Edit: Look... i too once had 2 GBs "cooking" with JellyKeys. And i too got upset when i saw new GBs come out before mine finished. I was even more upset when i realized i wanted to keep joining GBs but as time went on kwpt wondering where my stuff is. Im not going to keep joining GBs if theyre not going to send me anything.

So i let a GB go by that i wanted.

Then my retro tv showed up and i was blown away. Then not long later my 8bit backspace showed up.

Now im full team jellykeys. Their stuff is insane. And they are constantly doing weekly raffles while still producing their GBs. This isnt something to be upset about. Your GB is coming. I promise you when you get yours youll wish you werent hating on them before. Yes it sucks when a GB is delayed. But frankly thats the nature of a GB. Sometimes deadlines get hit, often times not. If youre not okay waiting it sounds like crowd funded projects arent your thing. Preorders are your thing because the product is mostly finished and doesnt need your money to be finished. Thats not true for a GB. If you dont like that concept then stick to preorder and in stock products.

the problem is not the time. it's about being honest about it. i just got my keys from January 2022 that's 13 Months for sometime than should have been 6 months. good that you like the caps, but that's not what we are talking about

Exactly. I know how GBs work. They set bad expectations on delivery times and should stop doing that. Over promise, under deliver

You can see we shipped some GB and all raffle in time. Some complex design take more time than my expected

Okay I just ask then that you don't say you expect 90 day shipments. Please be more realistic in your timelines.

No offence bud but I don't think you know the first thing about a buisness like this, especially of this caliber, and the amount of man hours put into each and every detail per piece. These are one off unique pieces, literally art, things happen, life happens, you literally can't rush perfection. It's impossible to always meet expectations and promises. Who cares how long it takes to get it as long as you do end up getting it?? He's not cashing out on vacation and shipping them when he gets back lol. These things go around the world and then some. Being "oversubscribed" as you say is a great thing for him if it's true. I hope he is "oversubscribed" because these aren't streamline assembly line productions lol.

In the end it's simple. Man up and wait for it to show up or don't join Group Buys. I've spent way WAY more money than I just did ($170) on these caps and had to wait much longer than the alloted time given. It's life. You'll live, or cry....

I fundamentally disagree with the premise of your comment. Consumers have a right to fair and realistic expectations from the people selling them goods and services. Banal platitudes like "you can't rush art" and "man up" can't be offered up in place of actual customer service.

Not group buy goods and services fam. Its in the fine print. Dont like it dont join a fucking group buy and go buy in stock parts.

Also they arent even an american company. So good luck trying to leverage anything against them. Again, dont like it dont join the gb.

why should they not be held responsible for there claims? they could just not give a shipping date, but i guess some people would be uncomfortable with joining a GB with no time frame. but intentionally lieing is worse
