Hi there,zslane wrote: ↑You can ignore the 7 days payment part. 7bit won't clear your order for a few months, at least, even if you don't pay right away. So you can relax and just wait for a new PayPal collector to show up. At that time you should get a new invoice with instructions for who to send your PayPal payment to. Until then, don't sweat it and just wait.
Wait so is there a someone who takes Paypal payments now? I'd really like to order some stuff!kconfire wrote: ↑Thanks all!
I was finally able to pay the PayPal invoice.
Now the waiting game starts!
Not sure if I can post that info here, but if you send a message to 7bot you'll probably get information on how to send money to this person I guess..j0d1 wrote: ↑Who?kconfire wrote:There is someone who is collecting money, at least for now.
For your own health, you should have R6 shipped separately first, R6 is indeed made and at 7bit’s place ready to be shipped.Luna wrote: ↑Does “collecting money now” mean now is the time to order as later will be too late?
But since my payment of leftovers from yesterday will still be open in the system I guess that might be a problem with shipping costs for one shipment only, no?
Ah, no, that's not what I meant at all.Menuhin wrote: ↑ For your own health, you should have R6 shipped separately first, R6 is indeed made and at 7bit’s place ready to be shipped.
If you want to wait for R7 to be shipped together, you are looking into potentially Q3/4 2019, or even 2020.
Ah, that's what shipnow is for. I thought it was for getting on the bot's nerves.zslane wrote: ↑If you add a kit named SHIPNOW to your order, then 7bit will ship anything on your invoice that he currently has in stock, and future products (like Round 7) won't hold them up.
There's really no timeline. But judging by how Round 5 and 6 went, that's as good an estimate as any.Vewy_nice wrote: ↑I'm new to this whole self-torture thing called Round-X group buys...
If the purple/cream are going to be produced first, those will be ready in, what, 2020 ish?
You should be able to see what colors are the most popular ones in the invoice you got in the mail. If blue/cream is the next most ordered one, then it will be next in line. If Round 7 is ever produced, that is.Vewy_nice wrote: ↑What if I want blue/cream? Will I be waiting until I'm an old man, or do the other colors usually follow soon after?
Or should I just suck it up and eat purple for breakfast in 2 years?
The last official word from SP is that they are done with these GBs for "the foreseeable future", but it's not entirely clear what that means. Also, that statement has since been removed from their webpage. 7bit is acting like the whole thing is still on track, so maybe it just means wait times are really long. It's anyone's guess really. But SP are still taking orders from anyone willing to pay, judging by their website. So unless 7bit is blacklisted or something, there ought to be some way of placing the order – it might just be that the terms differ from previous rounds, e.g. SP wanting all the money in advance.Vewy_nice wrote: ↑ And all this assuming that this is still a whole mess where the rules are made-up and the dates don't matter, and round 7 is still open for business?
Is it official if SP has finally said ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE or not?
Yes, that's exactly it – and I could probably have put things more clearly. SP loves the niche stuff – as long as they can deal with Massdrop, or some other company that pulls a huge number of buyers and provides some level of predictability and accountability.Vewy_nice wrote: ↑With SP digging out their DSS profile, I'm not sure they're fed up with the niche community as a whole... I was always under the impression it was just the way these particular rounds get run that was rubbing them the wrong way.
I might just wait and try and hop on the round 7 leftovers right when they come out... I don't need a new keyset that bad... I can't even decide what I want for dinner, let alone a keyset I'm going to want in 2 years haha
