Even my humongous order came in a single box. Check your caps against your order before panicking.

Hasn't everyone figured out 7bit's winging this by now? You're taking his mystical order number lists and the bot's estimates far too literally.

Don't you think I have? this is a fraction of my order... 1 out of multiple sets of alphas, 1 out of a few numpads, a bunch of small misc sets, a few spacebars. Trust me when I say I checked and asked the postal people before I became worried.

Fair enough. Note every kit you received and PM 7bit about it, listing everything else that hasn't shown up. Then panic at an appropriate intensity for sustaining the week to a month it might take for him to answer… while keeping both eyes on the mailman!

Already messaged him, and the mailman isn't coming back. They said this was the only thing associated with that tracking number.

I highly doubt there is a way to send two packages with one tracking number.
Maybe 7bit shipped part of your order, and the rest is yet to be shipped.

@chzel I'm not sure, I was only ever given one tracking number.

@muirium Please, enough ribbing. Its kind of patronizing how I say I'm worried about my order (which is a sizable investment, and something i worked towards by way of collecting on 7bits behalf) if this ends up being a mistake or something then I'll join you in laughing it up, but as i said, I am concerned and trying *not* to freak out.

All right, I'll lay it off. But do realise there's literally nothing any of the rest of us can actually do about your order in any case. Only 7bit knows what shipped or not.

For what it's worth: I had zero tracking numbers. Despite the bot assuring me I was tracked and insured.

Give the man a break Mu!
Imagine if you were waiting for the caps and the postman came with a tiny bag with barely a TKL set in there!
You'd forget all about the broken rib and chase him all around Edinburgh with the XT!

This reminds me why I am not partaking in this and that's not meant critical. I'm sure 7bit's shipments logistics are fine. Remember DHL is still recooperating from that German postal strike which DHL did not take part in but it messed up the entire postal flow in Germany. I talked to a postman the other day he told me operations will be back to normal in one month or so.

Yup. Germany's usually more or less as efficient as you'd expect, but the recent upset in their shipping system has rendered them almost as shoddy as Britain on a good day. Could take a while yet.

Lol i know you can't do anything. I'm just worried and figured I'd talk about it, I assumed :lol: (silly me) that I'd be assuaged.

I'm sure its out there somewhere, either at 7bits World Headquarters or somewhere in between. My postal worker assured me one package = one tracking number always. So hopefully I'm overreacting :lol:

Yeah, sorry. I meant I wanted to get the Realforce because it was a sweet deal and I have the funds right now only for either that or the Round 5a sets I want. I know the wiki states the end of the month, but I guess I should take that with a grain of salt.
I suggest you get the Realforce now and pay for Round 5a in a few months.
:roll:
My apologies if this sounds presumptuous, but is there any particular reason why the more affordable Round5 options like HONEY/SIXTY, TKL and TKL/GRAPHITE are not available in 5a? :cry:

Just to get you. Nothing personal!

(7bit's prices tend to move down over time. A bit like PMK, but over a much longer period of time, with many more bullshit deadlines. We are still in early days for Round 5a, believe it or not!)

Yay! I'm proud that I've gotten myself noticed and targeted like that with merely 2 posts on DT :D :mrgreen:

(Good to know about the possibility of falling prices (although a 50% drop seems unlikely!) I guess I'll hold on to see if it becomes a bit more affordable... I posted in the Round 5 trades thread as well, but no one is biting. All I want is a 60% set!)

Your probably packed but not shipped at 265? There as a post some pages back about orders packed but not yet shipped.

SL89 sure it will all work out, at this point I assumed 7bot is integrated into the DHL system directly and only 3 steps away from skynet and taking out the human race...

Nothing to worry it has not yet shipped.

However, today I will ship a larger amount.

I plan to use my set in a new keyboard and use it at the office, do you recommend any special model where this keycaps fits better?

I think you are right, when the Robot Uprising happens, be sure to stay on the look out for a german robot throwing handfuls of keycaps at people until they die. :lol:

Or taking orders for salvation then moving the deadline until you expire of waiting? :lol: :lol: :lol:
