Glowforge is a west coast, US-based company that does business globally. When it sends an e-mail that says “expires at midnight” on 28-Feb, you might want to specify a timezone. Also, do you mean 00:00 on 28-Feb? Or 23:59 on the 27-Feb? Or 23:59 on the 28-Feb? Or 00:00 on 01-Mar? I’m guessing you mean the order must be placed by 23:59 PST on 28-Feb.
Could be. Who would know?
Then that would mean you have to order on the 27th and if you ordered after 00:00 on the 28th you miss out. Which could be the case. I really don’t know. Gosh Glowforge really seems to hate standard units of measure.
