Ordering something
You can order until everything is sold out!
Production
The original plan was that production will happen during January, February and March 2016. In reality, production started in May and because some legends were done wrong, continued during June and will end in August (phase 1). The rest (phase 2) will be produced in November/December 2016.
Shipping
These kits ship separate from the Round 5 order. Ordering any of these will not delay the Round 5 shipping.
Shipping costs will be the same as Round 5 and entirely free should replacements be sent to you.
If you want combined shipping with Round 5 leftovers, just order the HONEYB kit, be sending a pm to 7bot:
HONEYB

FAQ
From which rows will be the keys?
This is for all color-styles (grey/white, red or black/red).
Does any space bar fit?
Just look at Space or Space by keyboard.
I've sent the order but don't get anything!
You need to submit your e-mail address in the message to the bot.
It must be just the e-mail address in a single line:
email@mydomain.xyz
These are all wrong:
Email:email@mydomain.xyz Please send my invoice to email@mydomain.xyz My PayPal e-mail is email@mydomain.xyz
I've sent the e-mail address as decribed above, but still nothing!
When sending a pm, you need to hit Submit a 2nd time once the preview shows up.
Still nothing!!!
Most likely, the bot is asleep or your invoice got caught by spam filters. Send a pm to 7bit.
My address is missing some lines!
You maybe submitted your address with a blank line, like this:
Walter Cherry 1600HAP Cherry drive Cherry City, MX 11900 USB
If you want a blank line, use the \ character.
Walter Cherry 1600HAP Cherry drive \ Cherry City, MX 11900 USB
Or just without a blank line (recommended):
Walter Cherry 1600HAP Cherry drive Cherry City, MX 11900 USB
Do I need to specify my name and country?
Yes, both please!
Some people omit their name. If you are really sure it will arrive without a name, then just leave it away.
For country: It is required to generate the customs stickers, so it is nice to have the country in a machine readable form. The easiest is to use the 2 digit ISO-country code, or just the name like USA, Germany or Korea.
It is helpful if the country comes last in a single line.
Do I need to send my e-mail or ADDRESS every time?
No, just once or if you want to change it.
How do I pay?
Simple, just follow the instrucuion the bot gives you in the invoice.
- You can pay via SEPA bank transfer in EUR (EU minus UK plus Norway and Switzerland only)!
- You can pay via Google Wallet (USA only)
- You can pay via PayPal (not recommended, but currently the only method for non-EU and non US-people)
SEPA in EUR (Europe only)
You can pay in EUR! If your currency is the EUR or is tied to the EUR or is not much volatile against the EUR and you can pay via SEPA money transfer, you should use this method!
My exchange rates are way better what PayPal or your credit card provider offer you!
If you are from Switzerland, please be aware of currency exchange fees, usually 10 EUR that my bank is charging me.
Please add as text your invoice number and username. Example:
R5 0987 username
Google Wallet in USD (USA only)
If you are in the USA, you can pay via Google Wallet. It is not as evil as EvilPay and no extra fees are added to your invoice.
Please add as text your invoice number and username. Example:
R5 0987 username
PayPal in USD (World, not recommended for USA or EU)
If you are not in the USA and not in a SEPA capable country, you can pay via PayPal.
Here is how it works:
