We do all the assembly in house (with real Americans; we will never for any reason outsource anything to foreign countries). We also don't really like the idea of not-flexible options, so soldering a fixed number of fixed-length cables to the board doesn't go over so well. If we knew we were going to be able to sell a couple hundred we might go for it, but since batches of anything aren't per-unit cost-effective until you start making at least 250 and the capital cost for 250 of anything is a five-digit number, we aren't going to jump into something we don't like and hope it's not a huge waste of money. If someone came in and wanted at least a hundred, and paid down on the order, we'd do it.
dance191, how many would you be looking to fetch if the price was right? Nothing wrong with discussing some options.

PCBs just arrived, a couple days early instead of a solid week late. That's pretty great. Looks like we'll be shipping early this time instead of the other thing.

Sent an order 5 days ago, but haven't heard back. Invoices and order confirmations are sent when the product are ready for shipment? Btw: Got two of mstrongbow's 3d printed cases in the mail the other they, and they have a really good fit to the PSU. Looking forward to mount some boards in them |

Unless you're the guy from Norway, then I didn't receive any order emails from you that weren't replied to.

So, if any potential customers could direct themselves to sales@gekkoscience.com, and I'll only respond to messages with ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 1. Exactly what you want (how many kits, how many boards, how many cables of what length - please be specific) 2. Exactly how you would like to pay (if BTC, say so; if PayPal, say so and also provide your PP address for invoicing) 3. Exactly where it needs to be shipped (any details USPS will need to know to get it there the first time) 4. Your forum handle (optional, if you want to be recognized on the public order queue) I'm deliberately not responding to order requests in this thread |

I held off on replying because we were talking with a guy about doing EU resale, but then I haven't gotten back to him yet. I'll field your order, expect an email shortly.

Looks like the first orders will be going out tomorrow (Tuesday). I like it when materials arrive early, instead of super late (like last time). We're officially shipping from stock.
