For the hopper. We need GPS trackers on these shipments, then productivity could grind to a complete halt.
Itâs just my sister⌠meh⌠Iâm not in that much of a rush. LOL
Actually I remember we used MEK in wood shop back in junior high to bond acrylic to make rings.
Maybe. Although if I were in logistics there, I would have shipped a few out to employees (since they live in WA and the units are shipping from CA that would be a valid test) or to other private friendlies like investors or something. That way Iâd know if they worked in a less public forum than here (where the shipping/handling issues are going to live forever on the Internet).
I remember Dan saying they had done extensive drop test long ago, so I donât understand why there is an issue with the packaging. Did the drop tests not cover what UPS can do to it?
Completely valid question, but I suspect weâll never know the answer to it.
Yes & No I expect. The drop tests, etc seem to have been sufficient to prevent damage to the unit but not damage to the boxes as all of the damaged boxes weâve seen reported had no issues with the unit inside. The condition of the box on delivery may not have been material a year ago when they did the testing as itâd only be needed for warranty work or repairs. But then in April when they made the no-tube replacement decision, that now made the condition of the box at the end of the journey as important as the contents inside.
Itâs the law of unintended consequences at work
Time for the UPS Drone Tracking fleet to be launched!!!
Congrats to all you who are getting your shipping e-mails!!!
Now grab your Glowforge and get the heck out of the way
JK, happy for you guys! (âŚbut seriously, hurry up and get yours so we can be next!)
I suspect the drop test is the expected height that a shipper would drop the box, but doesnât limit what the unit has apparently been subjected to by UPS.
I got my tracking number today! I get my very own Glowforge next Thursday!
SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!
Awesome! Congrats!
Thatâs 4 now right?! Donât slow down now!
Whoâs next?
Man!
Youâd think I wouldnât be as excited as I am by this at this point⌠BUT I AM EXCITED!!!
AuntieMame!
Oh man, hope you get it today. FWIW, my UPS notice came late in the day yesterday, the GF email came today. Fingers crossed for you!
So. How did they get your shipping address. Or did you recieve that email some time ago?
We need some more pro shipping notices, if no one else wants to, I will volunteer to get mine.
Really does make me happy to see more machines getting shipped out, congratulations to all the happy new Glowforge homes.
We got the shipping address request email on June 13th. So itâs going to be about 5 weeks from then for delivery.
A lot of the time the default password is put on the actual device, or you could try logging into your Verizon account online and resetting it.
