Can someone please help/verify for me before I break my order?
If I have phase1 and phase2 keys, do I need to just PM shipnow with order # in subject to 7bot to get phase1 keys now?

Yes. Just send SHIPNOW as the body of the message to 7bot. You don't have to include your order # because the bot already knows your order # by your DT username.

Sorry about the complicated order. Lots of singles/spares. However, if I could pay SEPA, I'd do it again.

Yes, except that subject can be anything, like "f**k the bot!" or so.

Guys, we need to order some pizza for 7bit

Thanks to everyone who paid!
However: I will start eating POS keys today ...
One more thing:
If you want a refund from me: currently, no way!
All you can have is your money paid back as a PayPal payment in USD!

Please order more!
If you pay in EUR via SEPA, your money is worth twice as much (up to $500 will become up to $1000!!!!

).
If you can't pay via SEPA, maybe you can find a proxy to whom you pay via PayPal and who sends me EUR money. Your keys will ship directly.
I need the money for:
- refunds
- shipping costs
- food

Maybe it's a dumb question replied in a FAQ somewhere but… What is the minimum of orders for adding a new kit (bépo) in a round ? I'm trying to gather people, and I wonder what is my objective.

Maybe if I buy more R5/R6 leftovers and make nutrition bars from the caps, I can send them back to 7bit for sustenance.

7bit will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% certain that new kits can not be added. The entire order manifest was sent to SP long, long ago and won't be changed at this late stage.

It's a more general question. So, perhaps in a hypothetical R8

You probably mean R7, which itself is unlikely to happen any time soon. :/

I'm optimistic

For r7 it's too late.
I know this is unlikely to happen, but bépo kits are not rare… they are nonexistent. The only place I've seen some is here, in R5.

It depends on the manufacturer. They each have their own minimum order quanitites (MOQ). Signature Plastics has shown a willingness to manufacture kits with quantities as low as 25.

This is quite good news. With a lot of patience, 25 kits (alphanum) is something reachable. Thanks for the information zslane.

Around 25 kits.
There are still BEPO keys available, BTW:

Liar!!!
There was BEPO in Round 5 (see png file above) and if I'm not totally mad, we even had it before ...
Here we go:
SPH/BEPO | 51| 39| 5+1|Bepo language kit
NOIR/BEPO | 51| 39| 7+1|Bepo language kit
There never was a mockup graphic for BEPO in Round 4, but only this:

This is what I said 7bit, the only place I've seen bépo is in R5 (Round 5)

Without you, no bépo at all.
I've already bought bépo overrun (remember the few missing keys and the H which is row 2 and 4 at the same time :p). But now I can't really tell why this kit (bépo overrun) exists. Because, if I make no mistake, even if you combine it with some other kits (alpha base, colemak, etc) you will never have a complete bépo.
Posted: 29 Apr 2017, 16:34
by 7bit
Yes, one I've found (Z), the other I'm still searchng for ...
This overrun kit does indeed not contain all the keys, but quite a lot.

This is why a hope there will be a complete kit in the future
Even at a bad price, twice the old one for instance (someone offered me to buy his $32 kit for 100€, this is a little bit too much there :p)

I'm confused. I'm still waiting on my round 5 order #0732.
It's been 18 months at this point. Should I be asking for a refund?
Posted: 02 May 2017, 09:13
by 7bit
Yes, you may ask for as refund, but your keys have not yet been produced.

What? There are Round 5 keys that have not been produced?

Hi, I want to ask for a refund on my order for round 7
Don't worry I will be spending the dosh on r6 leftovers

Asuming I order now, when i can expect them to arrive?

The money does not come in as quickly as people want it back.
There is still that 50% rebate for EUR-payments!
