I dunno, the inevitable churn of the world is sometimes a bit of a drag. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a bitter sweet month for us. Lots of stuff happening and keeping us all hella busy. Enough from me, this is a very very long update. Scroll down to see the updates you're keen on.
Also, keyboards. There are just so many keyboards at ALLCAPS it's like we're a real life keyboard store or something. Love to see it.
Also, PBTFans Vior drops on July 14th, if you're into that kinda thing.
Hampshire Road Closing
(copypasta from discord) It’s with a heavy heart that I have to post this. Unfortunately, our landlord has let us know that they wish to increase our rental costs, we either could have accepted them or vacate. We love the shop and meeting all of you in person, but unfortunately we just don’t think that an increase in rental costs is worth it for our current location. The ALLCAPS shop will close next Saturday on July 15th. Yes, they can do it, we’re month to month. No, orders and deliveries will be unimpacted. ALLCAPS is not closed, nor is it slowing down. We are still dedicated to having an in person space where members of the community can come and hang out, try new things and chat keebs. For now, that will be here in Discord or in AUMK.
What next?
ALLCAPS will be going back to online only from July 15th.
Pickups?
Pickups are available from our Hampshire Road location until July 15th. After that, we will contact you to arrange shipping. If you have selected pickup for a GB or pre-order that has not delivered yet we will contact you with delivery details when it arrives to us.
New location when?
We are currently previewing new spaces but, we are being very slow and deliberate with our next space to ensure it’s 100% right for us. For now, ALLCAPS will return to online only until a new space is leased.
Moving Sale!
Honestly, to help with moving between the shop we're closing and our temp location we're having a sale! In stock items only friends, pre-order and GB items are excluded:

Don't even. You know this is the endgame of beige sets. Featuring RGB like you've never seen it before, RGBEnglish is a fantastic all-in-one kit that has coverage from 40s to 1800s. Seriously. It's only a cool hundo if you cop this week ($5 discount applied at cart).

Gateron Screw-In Stabs v2
We finally have some quality stabs in stock for you guys!

Luckily, Gateron's latest Screw-In Stab game has really stepped up with the v2s!
Available in two variants: clear for short poles and black/blue for long poles, they're priced nice and will be in stock this month!
UPCOMING STUFF & THINGS
PBTFans Vior - INCOMING BANGER ALERT 
Posting this again cause damn, it's ripper set.
Shark67, soonTM
Budget 65%s don't get much cheaper than this and wow wee does it get cheap. We are still working on pricing but consider this board to be in the sub $200 range and packed full of features. Absolute banger, do not sleep on this limited GB which will be launching soon.
I'm sadder than normal was we're closing the shop for now, when you see me at the meetup gimme a hug or something.
Yours forever,
JC
