look that was a last minute trip because he’d gotten way behind and was willing to make the earth move to get that deal completed ok. never heard the end of it.

I like the Toy Dolls’ (UK) version:
“The Devil Went Down To Scunthorpe”
(no idea about the fan-made video, I just like the version of the song)

hello Dan
it’s been a while since the last delay in deliveries, and I’m unsure what bonus materials and offers you said we’d be getting for sticking it out.
Purely from memory, it was the $ amount of Proofgrade materials and maybe a promo code for Inventables. Can we please get an update with the current bonus tally?
And in a related issue, as an international customer, the Inventables offer really isn’t worth whatever it would cost you to me, as I will lose a significant part of any amount to a large international shipping fee. I was wondering if we could barter it back to you for a larger amount of Proofgrade stock shipped with the Glowforge?
I can’t remember the dollar value of the promo materials that come with the unit but that hasn’t changed.
The Inventables code is for $50 credit at the store, it’s not actually cash. As an international customer though, you can offer it for sale on the forum here…several folks would be interested in buying the code from you at almost full price.

I believe this is the update you are thinking of where @dan mentions the incentives to stay around. See the section titled “We’re paying you for waiting, plus more”. The Proofgrade/Design Catalog gift certificate increases by $20 per month. For orders in the first 30 days of the crowdfunding campaign, that’s from December so that’s up to $80 as of today.

that looks like the post, yes. thanks for the update.
the main reason for my suggestion was to try and get a separate, discrete post with that information so that it is all in one place for those of us who have lost track, also to have it put up by Glowforge so that we have the solace of an official update on this item. preferably with a projected total.
i never expected cash. i live in Australia. international shipping US to AU could easily eat half of that voucher.
the reason i asked if there were other options is that rather than trade on forum for cash, i would rather have $30 - $50 more Proofgrade materials sent out with my purchase. who can’t use more raw materials?
basically anything that might get me a better return on what they are already offering.
If I just Pre-Ordered a glowforge today, will I still get the $150 in bonus materials as well as the $50 credit for the store catalog?

Hmm interesting question since they have started to ship.
Just going to tag @Rita to see if she can clear this up.

I’m not a Glowforge employee – and for that reason, I’ll flag @dan and @rita – but pretty confident it doesn’t count. You’re not pre-ordering if you place a new order today, for two reasons:
- The pre-order pricing has been discontinued, and you can now only get full retail pricing.
- Glowforge has officially moved from the Pre-Release phase into “Now Shipping” phase.
Bonus materials and perks were offered for those who chose to keep their pre-orders without cancelling after an announced production delay.

I was just curious because technically on the website it still says Pre-Order. So I just figured that it still counted?

You’re not the first person to notice that. 
It’s been pointed out to Glowforge, and they’ve changed some of the archaic wording on their website, but they may be choosing to continue calling it “pre-order” until such point that all the existing backlog of orders have been fulfilled.

Well at least I don’t feel like I’m alone. I just wish I can get the bundle too.

Hey, it never hurts to ask, the worst thing is they say, “No.” Even then, you still get to keep your birthday and your favorite color

I want to say that @dan commented that once they finalized the price and the discounted pricing was discontinued, that ended the bonus materials.
Looking for that announcement. It was either in Feb or March.
I checked the update and it never said that it’s for certain time frame, and no where in the comments could I find anything about that. If you found it, can you point it to me?
I read this in two ways, either that everyone who ordered during the “30 day pre-order campaign” would get the gifts, or that everyone who had ordered before 4/19/2016 would get the gifts.
He also said,
which leads me to believe that those gifts would not be offered to new orders or to any canceled/re-orders.

Oh. I see, sorry I didn’t see that I was lightly reading everything. Oh well. I’m still happy and excited! Sorry for the somewhat stupid questions. I’m new to this forum as I just ordered my Glowforge!

Fantastic! You’re going to love it - I’ve had the opportunity to test one of the pre-release units for a few months…it’s a great little tool!
