I'm afraid that killed any hopes they will ever come from me.
:cry:

Great job of the one who sourced these, BTW.
:ugeek:

BTW:
I've found another box full of ALPSMT (tactile switches).
:cool:

There were no hopes. Only delusions! Mwa ha ha.

Honestly, the MOQ is an absolute nightmare. These occasional mini GBs people run on MXLOCK are through third party retailers who somehow have a bit of stock. That's how I got mine too. Cherry plain doesn't want to sell them to you. Which is shitty of them, but final.

I want 90 dampened alps stems, so.... what should I tell the bot? Tactile or linear switches?

Edit: never mind. I see I got a new invoice. Thx 7bit!

By ordering the REFUND kit from CherryMX. Then, you have to wait some time ...

Hey 7bit! I sent an order yesterday but haven't had a bot response! Is it awake?

I have to say, as a vendor myself, ordering these switches/getting a refund is an absolute nightmare.

The bot is not the most useful thing in the word, the emails from it are badly formatted and hard to read and the time between ordering and shipping can be as long as a month. In addition the instructions are poor and the method badly implemented, for example, I sent the refund code to the bot, he just sent back an invoice for my first order.

Surely setting up a little online store would be far easier?

This is the type of confusion that comes from using the bot. Here is an image of my first invoice (also shows how the email is displayed using outlook):

[PHOTO REMOVED BY THE DEMONGOLATOR BECAUSE IT CONTAINS PRIVATE DATA]

And here is my payment for that order:

[PHOTO REMOVED BY THE DEMONGOLATOR BECAUSE IT CONTAINS PRIVATE DATA]

I then sent an REFUND code to CherryMX to get the money back for the unsent dark greys, I then also sent a new order of Whites, Clears, Greys and Greens, 25 of each. So that might be why the bot says I haven't paid, because I haven't paid for that order yet.

Was I supposed to CLEARALL before submitting the new order? This is really too confusing

Some people (like Jack Humbert / ortholinear KBs) ordered a lot (~100 I think), so he may be reselling them.

Not sure why all the blanks got removed, but no reason to post photos that contain private data.

Nevertheless, I will let Evilcamels send you a refund as soon as possible.

I tried to order some Cherry MX Blue switches for a plate-mount keyboard (MXBLUE/NN), but the e-mail with the invoice doesn't list this type (it also says that I have to pay 0 Euro). Are these out of stock? Will they be available again anytime soon?

MXBLUE/NN are out of stock. For which keyboard do you want these?

Most keyboards from group buys come with the necessary holes to take the MXBLUE/NW variant.

You can even buy MXBLUE/DW with diodes in them, at no extra cost, should your PCB have the solderpads for in-switch diodes, like the ErgoDox.
