I think that in the future, the first time you submit an order, it should send some kind of verification email which also includes the order ID, and a link to the group buy page so that you can verify email, and prevent lost order IDs at the same time.

Also don't forget that there are probably still a few late-comers who wanted in on the group buy who would be willing to at least partially cover fake orders.

hashbaz · « **Reply #704 on:** Mon, 25 February 2013, 14:35:24 »

Yeah I'm sure we can get people to pick up dropped sets.

Yes in a few countries if you have the knowledge they put you in prison

danielucf · « **Reply #707 on:** Mon, 25 February 2013, 15:19:00 »

Just open ordering for another week or two to make up for lost sets.

For a future system I do like the idea of sending a verification email, if you tied in a code that unless entered would erase your order that might additionally guard against these false orders. Two weeks to verify with one warning message after a week should work nicely. Unless you are doing another crazy one week group buy, then just adjust the timing accordingly.

Elrick · « **Reply #712 on:** Mon, 25 February 2013, 17:09:38 »

Got the email from you Matt3o.

Just anxiously waiting for the BILL .......

samwisekoi · « **Reply #713 on:** Mon, 25 February 2013, 17:53:07 »

Ok, I now have the token from Matt3o to begin invoicing. All orders and addresses are final and have been transmitted to me for invoice preparation. Anything you see on a web page that isn't from me is an estimate. If you find a way to do what appears to be changing your order, you are not changing it where it matters.

I may close this thread and start a new one re invoicing and fulfillment. Please wait until I say something like "invoicing has begun" before you send me a PM asking for your invoice.

I will post status updates on GH and DT, but I am on GH far more often, so the latest news will always be on GH first.

That is it for now.

TL; DR Orders are locked. Invoices will come out soon. Watch the forum for news.

Please do.

Getting all the money in, is the MOST important item now. We have all made our selections and we desperately want to start handing over the Benjamins as soon as possible.

I'm frustrated that my Gmail address-- obtained back when you had to get an invite-- is considered too suspicious for some services. eBay, I'm looking at you... They wanted me to supply a credit-card to verify my identity to shift the account from a long-disused address elsewhere to the Gmail; I left the old account open instead.

No test in spam either... Should I pm you my email just in case?

metalliqaz · « **Reply #721 on:** Tue, 26 February 2013, 15:41:37 »

Invoices will show up in your paypal account, whether you get the email or not. If you're sure you entered it correctly, then you can just sit tight.

Really hope so. Would love to get me some Blue and White DSA's.

I wonder if Matt3o would even bother to run another Group Buy again? Usually the first one really destroy's your faith in fellow members on here, hence we will have to see.
