Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially opening the orders for the new generation of Swoard boards.
Please use the online form for this, after carefully choosing the right board for you in the charts... If you need help you can read or ask for advices on the forum where we'll answer so everyone can benefit from this advice.
Online form is here:

Schedule:
*Boards are still in production, so we do not have all serials numbers for the moment, it means we will proceed by steps and waiting period for first orders will be around 20 days from now...then it will go back to normal.
1. orders are taken, and processed so we can verify each choice, boards, and adresses
2. when the boards serial numbers arrive*, we process them and match orders and boards so you will receive a pre-invoice with board cost and shipping etc...
3. as soon as payment is received, we transmit the order to the logistics company that will take from 1-2 days to process it.
4. when board is shipped you receive a notification with eventual shipping details ( tracking etc..). Shipping takes 1-10 days depending on where on earth you are located ( read: Switzerland, next day, New Zealand, 10 days
)Please note: We cannot be 100% as of today of the delivery dates: but it should begin in early november for the first orders.
After the production is fully there, we will be able to process orders much more quickly: the limitation will usually come from the payment delays between banks, but western europeans can expect the whole process to take 1 week max then.
Price:
We have worked hard with Nidecker to be able to LOWER the price by 30 euros, despite the huge cost of industrial molds and retooling that was needed ( new screens for graphics, prototypes etc) and we are proud to be able to announce the price at 650 euros, excluding VAT. This was possible despite the raise in material costs, and labor costs that are higher in Switzerland, but worth it because of the high quality we have.....Full price in europe ( average) should be around 775 euros. All the boards are 100% swiss made, in the Rolle facility on lake Geneva...
Shipping costs:
We have worked hard with logistics to output reduced price from when we shipped from switzerland ( gen 1 boards)...Here is a few prices so everyone can have an idea of the shipping costs. All prices are for one board, and include export taxes, customs paperwork etc which represent quite a lot!.. Please note that since we export without VAT, you are likely to pay the VAT in your country when you receive the board... Sometimes the shipping company forgets to collect it, but its rare today. Boards we sell in Switzerland are of course full taxes included. Prices are subject to euro / swiss francs changes, and unfortunately linked to kerosen costs... they are accurate for the following month only.

We would like, again, to thank everyone for the incredible support! We wouldnt have taken the effort to start everything again without your help! so THANKS!
The Swoard team
Ps: please note that we provide paypal when in certain countries ( US, Can..) bank transfers cost so much that the paypal fee ( 4%) is less than wiring money through a bank. Please note that in most case, wiring electronically with your bank will be cheaper. In all cases, wire costs at at your expense
Ps2: Please note that unfortunately there is no possibility to indicate lower price on invoices because the boards are located in a special customs zone and the price cannot be modified in the database, if its the price paid it has to be the same on the invoice...no choice, no bypass sorry
