Email orders expand the shop beyond walk-ins. Treat each message as a priced repair commitment: read it, cost it, reserve it, then accept only work the bench can finish. Read the full request before accepting. Identify the device family, requested operation, deadline or timing shown by the game, reward, license, specialist tool, and likely replacement source. Check active bench space and inventory. Accept when the shop can fund the repair and complete it without sacrificing an earlier promise.
How to handle a new email order
Read the full request before accepting. Identify the device family, requested operation, deadline or timing shown by the game, reward, license, specialist tool, and likely replacement source. Check active bench space and inventory. Accept when the shop can fund the repair and complete it without sacrificing an earlier promise.
Use a simple intake table
A short note prevents high headline rewards from hiding a costly job.
| Field | Question |
|---|---|
| Device | Do you own the required license and know the layer order? |
| Operation | Cleaning, replacement, soldering, firmware, customization, or several? |
| Parts | Is the exact component stocked or priced? |
| Cash | What remains after parts, delivery, and bills? |
| Queue | Can it finish before existing commitments? |
| Risk | Does a current patch note affect this device or operation? |
Track the official milestones
Steam lists Master of Internet for accepting the first email order, WWW for completing 25 email orders, and Internet Business for completing 100. Keep one counter for accepted work and one for completed work because the first milestone uses acceptance while the later descriptions use completion. Let profitable real jobs advance the totals; do not fill the queue with work the shop cannot afford.
Make 25 and 100 orders sustainable
Batch decisions, not devices. Review email at a consistent point in the day, reserve parts immediately after acceptance, and keep a small number of finishable orders active. Combine progress with cleaning, earnings, reviews, and specialist-operation achievements when the jobs naturally support them. A stable pipeline reaches 100 more safely than repeatedly accepting every message.
If an order does not progress
Re-read whether the job expects a physical part, cleaning threshold, firmware action, customization, or final hand-in. Confirm unread indicators and the current game build; official launch updates fixed an email indicator issue. Preserve the device and message, then document the exact remaining objective instead of cancelling a potentially complete repair.
Email-order checklist
Use this before acceptance and before return.
- License and tool requirements are covered
- Parts are stocked or priced
- Reward exceeds the complete expected cost
- Bills and earlier orders remain protected
- Every requested operation is checked after reassembly
- Completed-order counter is updated
Do I have to accept every email order?
You can choose which ordinary email requests to take. In the selected Steam community reply dated August 10, 2026 (UTC), King4Twenty described leaving requests in the inbox instead of accepting every job. This is historical player guidance, not a developer guarantee for every order in the Fuzzby release.
Is an unread request the same as an accepted job?
No. An ordinary request left in the inbox, a repair you have accepted, and a story request are different states. Before accepting, read the actual requirements and check tools, parts and available cash. Budget for work already promised first; a large reward is not a reason to overload the bench.
When does an accepted order’s deadline start?
Use the timing displayed for that specific job. The selected reply does not establish a universal countdown start, fixed number of days, reputation penalty or cancellation refund. Leaving an email unaccepted does not test what happens after an accepted job expires. Keep the message and Notebook objective available when checking a delayed job rather than cancelling it to experiment.
Can I use this advice for a story request?
Not automatically. Follow the visible character request and story objective separately from optional email work. A delayed email and a blocked story checkpoint are different problems. For your next step, use the money guide to protect the repair budget, the shop-rating guide for a matching rating symptom, or the beginner guide to review the intake workflow.
Accepted an Eggotchi cleaning order but cannot find the device?
Keep the accepted email and Notebook objective open, and compare the requested model with the devices and boxes in your shop. Preserve the current save and make a separate backup before testing anything. If the device is still absent, capture both the order and the places you checked for a useful bug report.
Grantorsaurus reported an “Eggotochi” cleaning device missing after the story, around in-game days 213–216, with about 5–10 online orders normally accepted at once. The November 2, 2026 post mentions recently downloading the Fuzzby update but does not identify an executable build. At our November 5 check, the original thread had no replies or confirmed workaround.
This is one player’s report, not proof that the update or queue size caused the absence. An ordinary online cleaning order is separate from Yui’s story and data-recovery job. Buying another device is not established as a substitute; reloading and the story-fix beta are not confirmed fixes for this report.
On November 9 the developer requested the player’s save data. No general recovery was confirmed. Keep this separate from Yui’s story data-recovery task.
