Why is it taking two months to ship? How hard is it to bulk ship stuff? Are the logistics really that hard?

SolomonRFrom what I can tell, they wait for the order number, they give it to the manufacturer, the manufacturer makes the order, and then they ships it all out. Part of the nature of group buys.

SolomonRI'm regretting my purchase of these caps on Massdrop. I should have just payed the extra few bucks and bought it elsewhere. The wait time is excruciating.

ShivavishnuI think the Massdrop philosophy works best with larger items. Saving $15 or $20 is nice, but two or three months to actually have the small stuff is insane.
If I saved $200 on a watch or $150 on a chair, that's reasonable in my mind.

ShivavishnuWhat are you talking about? These caps aren't available "elsewhere". They are constantly out of stock.
Also, when will people figure out how group buys work? Every single comment thread has to have someone complaining about shipping... dude this is just how it works.

TelFiREI understand that group buys have caveats to them, but I just dont understand them. My (apparent) ape brain can think of around half a dozen ways to ship sooner than two months.

TelFiREThere's 3 sets available with the color I want here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vortex-104-keys-White-PBT-Doubleshot-Translucent-Backlit-Cherry-MX-Keycap-Keyset-/282417649628?hash=item41c16757dc:g:NK4AAOSw~oFXHlFH . That took me about 3 minutes to find. It would also cost me about $15 premium. I would also have to wait a month.
But, you are right. Most places (Amazon, mechanicalkeyboards.com, the Vortex store) don't seem to hold stock for very long. I'm not very good with delayed gratification, but the more I think about it... I'd rather save the $15 bucks. It's not like I'm typing on capless key switch nubs.

ShivavishnuThanks for the link....considering buying them but like you said, i'd rather wait and save the money. Does anyone think this drop will go active again?
