I was told that others could piggyback their personal orders onto the group buy, presumably to get the same per-chip pricing. That makes sense in theory, but I need to double-check the logistics, especially since I don’t want to be responsible for handling chip proofs on personal orders.
One thing that wasn’t factored in is shipping. As far as I know, all orders are being sent to me, which means I’d have to reship any personal orders individually. I'm fine with that but it adds extra cost, and I’m not even sure there’s any real savings left once that’s accounted for.
