So since the september update my scheduled arrival date for my GF has moved from February 2019 to 30th of April 2019. This is getting beyond a joke, for someone that was one of the first to put down money on this thing I feel like a very 3rd rate citizen.
Iāve gone from spruking the wonders of GF and being involved and participating in the forums to feeling dejected and that my GF it being relegated to being the last remaining and therefore least important part in my workshop. Since I backed GF Iāve backed and gotten a CNC mill and had various other things shipped.
I had dozens of projects involving the GF planned, most of which Iāve had to shelve. Local laser cutting costs here in AU are either pricey for prototyping or require long turn around times. The whole reason for me getting a GF was to make prototyping and creating small projects tenable. Weāve actually seen a few options here close their doors. So presently I have fewer options to make prototypes than when I started.
I know international logistics is complex and painful but I feel like it was left very late in the development process when it probably should have been researched up front once the business knew where all their orders were coming from.
I truely want to be excited about my GF arriving but Iām running out of steam and interest. I really donāt want to be apathetic towards my process or tools. But now I log into my Glowforge account with trepidation. My shortlived expectations that itās going to arrive keep getting pushed out and my disappointment grows.

My Estimated shipping date still says Dec 14, but havenāt received any emails about shipping or to verify address, etc. Has anyone with a Dec 14 date received any info as of yet?
Yes I received the email about 6+ weeks ago asking if I still wanted it. My delivery date still says Dec 14th but I have not heard a peep yet regarding the actual shipment. I think I should have received a tracking number or something, even a confirmation that they read my reply would be a little more comforting than absolutely nothing. 1147 days since I ordered it.
Eerily quietā¦
Yeah, but it is silly season. Everyone is either massively busy or dead quiet. Iād imagine theyāre in the former categoryā¦hopefully.
@dan I know itās the craziest time of year. Any chance of a christmas update for those of us on the other side of the world? Some Christmas tidingsā¦

Update: Iām in Calgary, Canada. I received my Glowforge today via FexEx. Glowforge never sent me a notification that my unit had shipped or a tracking number so I was unable to clear customs myself. (The only notice I got was the email asking if I wanted my unit now or when the air filters are ready.)
I called FedEx to find out what the brokerage fees are going to be. They are charging $70 for customs clearance and an $11 processing fee. They were unable to see how much duty and taxes will beā¦so that will be interesting.
@beerfacedā¦are you in Canada too? You might have a surprise delivery in the next couple of days.
