Yeah true, did you add a bank account?

Yes.

Alright, my account is all set up then too I guess.

Radlife · 30 Nov 2016, 02:54

So 7bit, how will you be shipping orders? I have some caps in violett/cream and some gray. Will you ship the keys you have or keep my order combined and wait for the second round of production?

raaaajs · 30 Nov 2016, 04:23

Wait, what's shipping? Round 6?

Looks like Round 6 phase 1 is shipping

Except for some small kits, everything is sorted, so I will start to ship on Friday.

I ship all I have right now.

You are well placed to know that it can be impersonated

Veggis · 30 Nov 2016, 15:27

I'm a bit out of the loop, what's currently getting shipped? Praying for violett/cream

cihusss · 30 Nov 2016, 19:12

I am also praying for violet/cream!

zslane · 30 Nov 2016, 19:33

Violett/cream is phase 1. 7bit has phase 1 sorted and will begin shipping shortly. Therefore your prayers have been answered.

And now we wait....again.

Red_M · 01 Dec 2016, 09:18

Meanwhile, I paid 1.5 years ago and my caps haven't even been made

2 years ago and not even made?
That can't be right, right?
AFAIK, only phase 2 of R6 hasn't been made yet and don't think this has been announced 2 years ago.
Or was it?

Your account isn't even 1.5 years old, how did you order half a year before account creation?

I made a mistake and didn't check, oops.
Still though.

Wodan · 01 Dec 2016, 10:36

No biggies, it's still a long time. I tried to explain several times before that much of the disapointment here is due to high expectation or assumptions carried over from other GBs or even Massdrop. Expecting this behemoth of a GB to behave like a lightweight 5-kit SA GB will lead to disapointment.

I am pretty confident that once the Phase 1 caps arrive and people take some pics with them, leftovers will sell much better and funding for Phase 2 will finally be complete. Simple rule: no expectation = no disapointment

Round6 (formerly known as HONEYB or Round5A) was announced in September 2014.

And yes, I paid my order way back then and most of my caps are in "phase 2", so they won't be delivered anytime soon. In fact, looks like my money has just been used to subsidize "phase 1".

Alright, didn't know that phase2 started 1.5 years ago. I thought R6 was pretty fresh thingy:)

Not 1.5 years. It was announced on 23 Sep 2014.

That's 2 years, 2 months and 9 days ago.

Only the name is fresh. It's moldy old name was Round 5a.

If folks think this GB is troubled, I weep for anyone getting into Round 7.

Did 7bit try and trick you in to collecting round 7 payments?

I'm telling him round 6 only and only until the funding is complete!

zslane · 01 Dec 2016, 22:59

No, 7bit has not mentioned anything about collecting Round 7 payments. It would be unwise (for him) to direct those payments to my Round 6 PayPal account since I plan to close it once Round6 phase 2 keycaps are in his possession. He'll need to find some other way to continue collecting Round 5/6 leftover (and Round 7) payments after that.

Wodan · 02 Dec 2016, 07:21

Thanks a lot you guys. I'm blessed with SEPA access but two new PayPal collectors will greatly help reach Phase2 funding.

Can't wait got get my Phase1 keys, will try to take some high quality photos and share them to promote leftover sales

gaedol · 02 Dec 2016, 10:02

Hi,

I have ordered last summer a few sets from round 5 (or 6, all starts with HONEYB/). Since then I have asked for reimbursement, and I got nothing back: no caps nor money. Can you guys "blessed with SEPA access" check on it?

Thanks!

PS
Invoice number is 0996

Wodan · 02 Dec 2016, 10:19

What is a SEPA bank account supposed to help here?

You paid money for something that is currently either planned for production or already produced. How are these caps ever supposed to be made/paid for if people who commited to buying caps keep asking for their money back. Your money might have been sent to SP a while ago ... You also make it sound like you placed you order LAST year summer while it was THIS summer. Stop joining GBs if you don't understand how they work!

BTW many of the HoneyB orders are SUPPOSED TO start shipping today and next week. You've been waiting ~4 months for your caps now, most people that complain here waited for 1 year+

7bit · 02 Dec 2016, 14:04

Packing starts today, so shut up and send zslane more money!
