So today my glowforge arrived… my wife looked out from the kitchen while washing dishes and there were these boxes just sitting out there.
About two hours AFTER she noticed it I got email from UPS saying that a package from glowforge had been delivered… and shortly after that I got the email from glowforge saying that it had shipped.
There was an email at the same time saying “Your first box is almost there! We want you to get started printing the minute your Glowforge arrives, so we’ve expedited your Proofgrade materials to ensure they arrive ahead of everything else.” UPS says it will be six days before the proofgrade materials arrive.
Which has not arrived yet… perhaps my proximity to the shipping origin made everything go out of sync.
Oh, and 2 out of the 4 box-lock handles were missing. One was completely opened and ready to pop off… ^_^;;
Got the glowforge email on Monday, August 28th. UPS delivered it on Thursday, September 7th.
Granted, I am in the SFBA so it just had to travel across the bay (which is probably why I got the shipping email after it had actually been delivered…)
YAY!!! I’m a Bay Area 1st day pro buyer waiting for my email. So happy to hear the date to delivery was so fast. Milpitas is about 45-60 mins from me.
I got my email yesterday, Sept. 8th, 2017.
Whilst I am not a fan of the privatisation of utilities, in the part of Scotland that I reside I have not noticed any difference in the service apart from the refusal of Royal Mail to carry toxic substances such as paints, batteries and solvents. I can’t remember having had anything “lost” in the post, but I’ve had items “lost” by carriers.
As long as our postal system is not eroded by relaxation of the legislation covering it, I , for one, will be quite happy.
I know I’m not a regular contributor, but I suppose it would be helpful to those who are in my shoes (who don’t post/comment often but just browse the forum). I got my shipping notification email last Friday! I am beyond excited and can’t wait to get it in my hands! I purchased my GF around the 9th day of the campaign so suffice to say the shipping updates are spot on! Hopefully I’ll get it sooner than the “up to 6 weeks” since I live close to the manufacturing location in San Jose, CA. Huge thanks to @dan and all the staff for their hard-work and dedication!
