Here’s how the ordering process will work to ensure a smooth and fair experience

1. Email Notifications: Starting on Thursday, June 20th, we will begin sending out a limited number of emails each day to reservation holders, following the chronological order based on their reservation date. In the initial days, fewer emails will be sent, gradually increasing the daily volume as we have to process thousands of reservations we have received.

2. Unique Login Credentials: Inside each email, reservation holders will find a unique one-time login and password. This information is essential for proceeding through the checkout process and finalizing the purchase. Each reservation holder is eligible for one purchase, which can include multiple VR1 units. This system ensures that the unique code can only be used once, preventing sharing and guaranteeing that all reservation holders have a fair chance to make their purchase.

3. No Time Limitation on Purchase: While there is a meaningful time buffer between the emails being sent, there is no specific time limit on when you must make your purchase. This means that if you receive an email and do not order immediately, you will still have plenty of time to complete your purchase later. However, keep in mind that headsets will be shipped on a first-come, first-serve basis, so earlier completed ORDERS will be fulfilled sooner.

4. Order Confirmation and Shipping: After successfully completing your order, you will receive an order confirmation via email. Once your headset is shipped, you will receive tracking information along with a final invoice.

5. Reservation Cut-Off and Open Orders: New reservations will be accepted until July 10th. After this date, the ability to reserve a spot will close. On July 12th, during Somnium Connect, we will open orders to everyone, removing any reservation barriers.
