Thanks for the suggestion. I just posted my question there. 
My eta went from April to January. I changed my address to the USA so that may have influenced it but Iām excited to see the progress.

Nice update.
I like the Friday celebrations. We always seem to focus on the problems and not on celebrating the successes when weāre in project mode. Having the time-out for a high-five session is huge in keeping the team motivated

Yes, I have seen my own shipping date inching closer and closer. Great news to hear that was not an aberration. The twins are very excited!

Hello GF team and community!
Great news for all, though I would love to have more insight why the international shipment is so much behind the domestic shipping even though we were much earlier in line than most domestic people receiving theirs already. I really donāt want to sound nagging like a kid in the playground, I just love insight and reason.
Yes I know setting up international shipping takes more time, but itās not rocketscience. If the legal test are approved in the country of future use than whatās holding the shipment back? CAUSE IāM READY 
Will international shipment commence only when all international countries are GO? Or will the shipment just start to whatever country comes first in the order list?
Like @dan said:
Weāre moving forward on both international shipping and air filter projects. Both of these have bigger variability - weāre trying to bring them in, but thereās risk that they could slip out.
WHYā¦why are international orders at risk to slip out, are there any hardware changes needed for local legislation? Do you need different packaging, still hard negotiation with the carriers for the fees or do we need the perfect humidity combined with the solstice on Mars?
Again, not mad, just anxious and a tiny bit paranoid when reading Danās above pasted quote.
Letās end it with a hapy note, all you people here in the forum with you ideas, questions, products made on the GF and the general moodā¦THANK YOU! You make the wait easier on us!
Greetings from the far far away land of The Netherlands!

Dan said last month that the latter is the case - as a country is ready to ship, those orders will ship. Theyāre not waiting for all countries to be a āgoā before they ship to the first one.

I think the biggie is that the certifications arenāt in place for everywhere yet. So thatās a large part of the waiting game. Beyond that, since the GF is manufactured in the US, it is domestic shipping so the government doesnāt have to get involved. As soon as it crosses borders, customs gets involved. And well, you know what customs can be likeā¦

I can verify that their production schedule is going faster than they anticipated. My estimated āshippingā email schedule date moved from 12/4 to 11/27 to 11/21 to 11/14. YES, I got my email and said ship NOW. The clock is ticking until it arrives at my door. My order date was 10/18/2015. Thanks to the Glowforge team for all of your hard work and dedication.

Itās real good hearing thing are heading in the right direction 
And I sure hope my estimated shipping date get updated in the preferred direction any time soon
One thing thatās been on my mind lately which I think really blows, though not completely unexpected is that Iām pretty sure looking at the US shipping schedule that post campaign US based people will get their glowforge well before for example me. I live in Norway and my current date is February 8 
and I ordered mine on October 1, 2015.

Actually, my daughter (the one on the right) had given me a thumbs up when I broke the news to them, but I was too slow to snap the picture before she lowered her thumb back down.
The revised, revised, revised, revised schedule.

That only occurs on the third plus unit returns (thankfully there has only been 3 or 4).

This was defined in link below. Terminology and only being apparent if using the glowforgw UI gave some confusion.
TLDR: Two places - āwhatās newā on bottom left of main glowforge website. Also on the right hand side of the glowforge UI when using the app.
