Title: Scrub geekhacker wanting to join the group buy.
Post by: narlzac85 on Sat, 12 March 2011, 22:00:07
So, I've been visiting this site for a few months and recently joined. I want to get in on the group buy, but I've got some questions. Seems like 7-bit is on vacation or something, so I'd like to get some answers before its too late to join in on the order.

First, how is payment and shipping done? I mean, I've got to give my address to someone I assume. Also assuming payment is through paypal, but I figured its worth asking.

Second question: Do I just need to send a PM to 7bit_vote with the following:

STANDARD 1
SPACEBLACK 1
PIRATEFLAG 1

And then I will be good to go for a set for a Filco tenkeyless and get a black spacebar and a pirate flag to replace the windows key?

PS. Owner of a Model M Spacesaving for over 6 years (pulled it out of a pile of junk computers in an abandoned building along with two full-sized that I gave away) and a recent owner of a Filco Brown Cherry Tenkeyless. I love them both.

Welcome to GeekHack!

First, PM 7 bit. The way you laid it out is fine. Afterwards, you'll get an invoice via email with instructions for payment (you will paypal iMav, the owner of GeekHack). You are correct on the third question.

I'd also like to know about how you'd go about doing it when it comes to payment.
Hoping to make up my mind about this before it's too late.

Edit;
KBL ninja'd before me, smooth.

iirc, You are supposed to PM 7bit_vote, not 7bit.

Also, you may want to include your email address... Just add the line:

EMAIL youremailaddresshere

And shipping, for US:

SHIPUS 1

Thanks. Second PM sent. And yeah, I sent them both to 7bit_vote.

We have to do this, if we're in the U.S.?
Because there were no instructions for a "SHIPUS" tag in the thread.

I don't think so. I didn't.

If you didn't already put that, don't worry about it.

Yeah, like KL said, you don't have to I don't believe. When you send them your mailing address in reply to the invoice, it should say "Total after shipping" or something of that nature, and that's what you'll pay (Even if you don't add SHIPUS).

Please confirm if I have got this straight..
The meaning of "Vote" means the same as "Commit to order if number of cumulated 'votes' * individual amounts > minimum total order amount"?

How do I specify shipping to Europe?

Yea, that's correct. I think nearly all the sets made it in so it's pretty much a commit to order. Wait until you get your invoice via email to see about shipping.
