Reply to comment by hiszpanskiinkwizytor in Problem with group buys by hiszpanskiinkwizytor

I’m not going through 10 years of GH posts. You’re buying them from a runner knowing they are at the mercy of GMK lead times. How are you going to blame the runner when GMK changes the deliverable time. That’s not the runners fault. You’re holding runners accountable for manufacturers short comings. It’s unreasonable.

I am not buying keycaps from GMK, do you understand that? :D I would bother GMK about not sending me my keycaps if I bought it from them.

You just admitted that you don't have any example on any input in this conversation any more. Thank you for the involvement.

No you are buying understanding that the delivery of them is dependent on GMK’s ability to produce them. It’s an understood part of the hobby. Look at this link for a current gmk group buy. https://mechsandco.com/products/gb-gmk-beige-addon-extension

It states you understand that shipping is an estimate and can be extended. This is what you agree to when purchasing. There is even a whole section on group buys.

What's the point of giving a deadline then?

They give estimates not deadlines. You’re taking an estimate and applying the term deadline to it.

How much further is it ok to go from an estimate? Is one week ok? A month? A year? Or as experienced over two years?

That’s not my place to say. Obviously any delay is unacceptable for you, so you should stick to instock buys from now on. I’m fine waiting until the product is done right given that I get clear communication throughout the process.
