Yes. If they go with the pricing models for the other two woods, then Maple should be $10 less. I was wondering if there is something special about Maple at that size. Like it’s harder to manufacture, or it warps easier, or is harder to source at that size since it might have more knots, etc.
Probably a typo. 
That’s what I thought.
I received my glowforge on 11/22 without shields.
Yeah, send them an email - they might have just missed it. I think that was the week before they started shipping out in the machines.
This would be very nice.
Partly that, and partly that it’s much more expensive to ship.
It’s flat rate shipping - doesn’t charge you any more for the long sheets. Also, since free shipping is available at $100, two sheets of it trigger free shipping.

That’s possible - what pricing exactly seems odd?
I don’t know, I actually didn’t see it. I think the poster mentioned that the maple was priced $10 higher than the other plywoods for the same length sheet. (If I understood it correctly.)
Oops, no I didn’t read it correctly. Never mind. 
The walnut and cherry are (4 x $16) + $1 = $65.
The maple is (4 x $11) + $10 = $54, where one might expect it to be $45 based on how the walnut and cherry are priced.
I’ve done this, but it was before Washington required their cut on the tax. Just need to pay the GST when you bring it up
Ah, I understand. No, not a typo, just the way the pricing worked out.
It’s rare, but occasionally bulk isn’t the cheapest option. If one is looking to move items quickly bulk will be cheaper. If there’s high demand then smaller chunks maybe cheaper as a seller tries to limit the purchase of larger quantity but will accept the extra cash incentive to give it to you. But yeah it is odd due to its rarity.
Years ago Taco Bell sold 10 tacos for $10. Problem was, no drinks and the most expensive taco you could choose was only 89¢ so you could buy 10 seperate tacos and a drink and still get a few pennies change.

It would be impossible to ship a sheet of that material for a $10 flat rate. I suspect that the reason why the math doesn’t make sense is because the company is offsetting $10 or so on the total shipping of a package that size. So the math is not a fixed ratio. The alternative is to have a separate increased shipping charge on the oversize packages. Doesn’t matter to me.
Yeah I know, depending on how many sheets a person buys it is a good deal or a bad deal. I can see that post coming from at least one person. It will be a post I can ignore.

Can we get this as a credit to the account? The Glowforge was paid for by our school and getting credit means we don’t need to make an order form for each time we purchase proofgrade.

I think support can make that happen - shoot them a note as they’re the experts here.
So @dan what’s up with deliveries to Norway? Is there a difficulty getting through regulation garbage or something? I would think we had pretty much the same regulations as the EU seeing as we have to follow EU rules for pretty much everything.
There was conjecture earlier than there is a Norwegian regulatory body that is particularly concerned about laser injuries to children since Norway suffered a statistically abnormally high number. This is in addition to any EU regulations on the topic. These were largely laser pointer issues, but laser cutters also fall into their jurisdiction so we surmise that the regulatory body’s caution is causing extra delays while people explain how this new thing is different and not as likely to be misused by children. The company has not commented nor are they likely to, so this is likely all inaccurate speculation.

@Dan, thanks a million for the credit - I wrote to Support yesterday and received the credit this morning. I really appreciate it, I feel well looked after!
Now, if you could just open your European store so I can spend it on PG materials…
