Hey 7bit, I got an invoice from the bot for the first of 2 orders I placed - I sent a second PM to update quantities, and was invoiced for the first PM rather than the second. Any way I can get that fixed, or should I just PM the updated order again?

Just send the complete order again to overwrite the existing one.

Hey 7bit, I already paid for my first invoice earlier from the quantities that you had in stock and it's already been marked shipped. I made another order last week for switches I want preordered and the bot combined the total for the first invoice with my preorder asking me to pay my first invoice total on top of the preorder. Should I PM a new order again?

Hi 7bit, how can I change my shipping address? The new invoice uses my old shipping address. Thanks

7bit, I PM'd the order to CherryMX again, including lines with 0 switches for the ones I no longer wanted, and received a new invoice - for the first order again. The bot does not appear to be changing my order regardless of what I send it.

Sorry, unless you ordered using a different username, there is nothing marked as shipped (I mark items as shipped when I pack them).
However, I got a payment from you.

Just send

your new address
Can't be simpler!

This does not work:
110 MXGREYP
0 MXGREY
0 MXGREEN
Try it the other way round:
MXGREYP 110
MXGREY 0
MXGREEN 0

I must be feeling a little dyslexic today - I even compared that to my original order before I sent it and totally missed that I had flipped the order. Thanks!

Hi, I'm very new about this group buying.
I have a plan to buy CherryMX brown PCB-mounted for Ergodox keyboard, how's the procedure to order the switches here?
Does posting the amount and switch type here is enough?
Thanks

Please read the first post.
Browns are sold out. You can only pre-order them. If you want to order 100, just send (pm) this to CherryMX:
MXBROWN/NW 100
your e-mail address
ADDRESS
your shipping address

As soon as the bot was awakened, I got a lot of payments.
I will deal with them later this day, as I still have to take an exam later on :/

I'm a little bit new to buying switches. I'm not sure what the differences are between PCB mounted and Plate Mounted switches. Could you please explain the differences? I took a quick look through the wiki, but I wasn't able to find anything.

PCB ones have extra bits to better secure them to pcb, plate doesn't. PCB->plate works I have heard.

Only if you cut off those bits.

Payment/"shipping" update
Payments from gunnish, BlindAssassin111, skkhai, abc, FuckingUsername, eyesmiles, and cgbuen have been received and marked as shipped for Paypal purposes (to keep them from locking up the PP account). Invoices may or may not reflect the payments yet. Keep checking this thread for the actual ship date(s), or spam this thread/7bit via PM the message "WHERE ARE MY SWITCHES, DID YOU SEND THEM YET." This only includes payments to me via Paypal. Note that the address on your Paypal notifications/notes are not necessarily the addresses 7bit will ship your switches to, he ships to the address on your invoice.

So what's the current situation regarding preorders - will they be happening despite the new price / massive MOQ? Not that I have anything ordered, just would like to know for the future...

If PCB-mount browns falls through, you guys know I have them covered.

I try to get the MOQ down. The raised price does not raise the pre-order price for now, but once I pre-ordered I will raise the price a bit.

I just got a message from my supplier:
Cherry raised their prices and MOQ is now 4000 switches.
Please, everybody stop advertising mechanical keyboards to mass-producers!!!

What do you mean? (advertising to mass producers?)

More and more manufacturers offer mechanical keyboards with Cherry switches => Cherry gets greedy and raises the prices.

Thanks for that - 4000 seems like a lot of switches!

I'm afraid the raw material must be delivered to the plastic and sheet-metal factory, before Cherry can get the plastic pearls and metal sheets to produce the switches ...

THAT'S OK, I DON'T NEED ALL THIS COMPLEX SOUNDING SHIT, JUST SEND ME THE RAW MATERIALS!!! IN THE WORST CASE, YOU JUST SEND ME A CRATE OF ROCKS!
