LevelSteamShipping from New Jersey. Shouldn't take even a full week for it to start arriving. Fingers crossed for that Massdrop golden cap. Good luck, everyone!
For anyone who might want to know dimensions and weight on the parcel: Dimensions: 6x4x1 in. Weight: 0.7 lbs / 0.32 kgs Shipping via FedEx SmartPost.
Sounds like the keys might be loose in a container similar to the ones that Tai-Hao ships their miami and sunshine sets in. (Tai-Hao's containers look like this: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/tai-hao-miami-keycap-set/talk/1598526 )
Edit: might be, not will be. I'm speculating.

Drift6216Sad face multiple times.
This set deserves better packaging. I just figured it would come in something somewhat respectable.
Now I feel like bulk chocolate at the store.

BrainFlushYeah. I'm also a little worried as I got the base kit + modifiers + numpad + novelties. Seems almost impossible that all those keys will fit within those dimensions.
Edit: I counted the keys by eye. For those four sets there are roughly 136 keys. Tai-Hao miami is a 104 key set. If the dimensions are accurate, loose packaging is the only way they can possibly fit.

Drift6216Damn.
Next time.
All specialty and possibly one offs should be offered with premium packaging.
SP has no excuse for not incorporating something into their system like that. Especially in 2017.
Sorry but I'm pissed.

BrainFlushidk, I ordered keycaps not a pretty box of chocolates. I'm fine with cheap plastic bags

OblotzkyI have to disagree.
We spend a lot of money online.
Using MD and some other places as an example, I have so many cases for so many items shipped to me, in order to protect whatever it may be, at a fraction of this sets cost.
Even the GMK Carbon let me add a tray, which I did without hesitation.
Today I received my first spinning top made out of copper that material cost $5 (not being serious folks just being you know what) and untold machine time hours, labor etc. I paid $70 something. It came in a small metal tin full of padding in a box full of padding. It's one item which I love and can't stop playing with! They can easily come up with a solution that would be an additional charge for these caps from here on out at SP or MD. <<<<
Even some cheap cap sets I bought came with trays, like WTF?
I love these caps on looks alone and I am thankful they were made by someone with love, I even loved your Metro set. I would want your set in a tray or even some padded foam in a box using just compression. But not loose and in contact with one another, especially with not rounded or smoothed , buffed edges.
We all have opinions but this one appears to be an opinion that should be a part of a companies appearance and motto maybe: "We deliver caps of exceptional build and quality in a case representative of that." not here's a box, like a BigMac from McD's.
*(I am only referring to the one off sets and maybe some duplicate runs but not their actual commercial level business products that SP offers)

Drift6216Anyone think everyone should get the golden key cap for waiting?

BrainFlushA while ago, when SP still hosted group buys on PimpMyKeyboard, keycaps used (sometimes/always?) to ship in boxes such as this: http://pimpmykeyboard.com/storage-boxes

SlagathorIt would be a great gesture but I don't have hope for it. Zambumon & MD indicated early on that they wanted them to be randomly and sparingly sprinkled through the sets like the golden tickets of the film.

sanstitreBiggest issue is stopping them from rubbing into one another.
So a foam layer could be a very cheap and effective solution, just place it on top of the caps from both sides.
Thanks for the info and link.

BrainFlushPremium packaging isn't even an option with SP, sadly. The best you'll ever get is a fancy cardboard box with their logo on it. The caps are still bulk/loose packaged inside.
SP has plenty of other business issues to address. This one is probably pretty low on the list.

imprevadeTrue. Sorting into trays is always an additional expense with GMK sets. Some GBs absorb the cost and some offer it as an option. It's usually worth it. :)
