RMweb Gold JCL Posted November 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 27, 2014 I wondered if this might be of interest to anyone. --------------------- Get 20% off your own designs with code DESIGN20.

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted November 27, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2014 Mmmm put your prices up and then need a sale? interesting marketing techniques... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoorObjecten Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Mmmm put your prices up and then need a sale? interesting marketing techniques... Has nothing to do with the new pricing system. This happens every year, multiple promotions during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Cheers, Mitchell ps. note we didn't put the prices up, we changed the pricing system (yes I know that miniatures have unfortunately been affected negatively, but for others prices actually went down) If you 3D print in 1:45 you will notice that prices actually went down by around 20% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjgardiner Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah, sale is great, already had a problem because a separate detail part of a very big item (a passenger car body) was too small, so rejected. I've fixed the item by spruing the couple of small detail pieces to be printed separately (which to be fair, i should have done anyways), but now i can't re-order with the discount because its one time per customer. Sigh, I've emailed customer service to see if they can help, hopefully we can do something, because i only placed the order because of the discount, I'd been holding out on testing this item waiting on a FUD sale coming along to drive down the costs of a test print to see if it worked or not. -Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Devil Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 FUD turnaround seems pretty quick at the moment too, ordered some bits on Tuesday and they were dispatched yesterday....that's the quickest I've ever had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes, I saw that. You people had me up late unnecessarily! Fingers crossed my model will be accepted... cheers Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted December 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2014 Great that Shapeways offered 20% on everything (not just own designs) but why couldn't you have warned us? I could have ordered some of other people's designs as well as my own all on one order if I had known... Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoorObjecten Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 create a second order email customer service and ask them to combine it with the first order (they'll refund the shipping costs). As for warning you, sorry we won't tell people up in front when we will do our promotions. However, for next year you can expect something similar (just like previous years we do a Black Friday promotion and a Cyber Monday promotion).

RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2014 Actually, I had myself up late... Trying to do too many things in one day. I'll do exactly that and see if I can order a couple more things before the end of today. Thanks for the info Mitchell. Cheers Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted December 1, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2014 20% off everything is much more interesting, I feel an order approaching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2014 I've had the green light too. Well, it's practically Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 17, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2014 The green light waited and another sale has turned up in my in-box for designers. I'm busy finishing my D3... Our Gift to You: 20% off your own designs in Strong & Flexible Plastic through Dec 23, with promo code MY2014 Edited to say, just realised it's WSF - oh well.

simon br blue Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm still waiting for my previous sale items to turn up but will still try and get another order in before the deadline. In the past Shapeways have had a sale around new year but I guess this will replace that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 18, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2014 Same here Simon. From the tracking info, my stuff has been touring New York with the US Postal Service for the last six days. I assumed at the cost of postage I paid they'd have couriered it. I'm going to take advantage of this offer after all and get a couple of tests done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 It's a pity they have had total system closure since yesterday, but hopefully it will mean more special offers after Christmas. I prefered the 'free postage' offers but can undrstand that to get bigger orders a percentage deduction offer makes more sense. Justifying getting some new tests done is more difficult.

SpoorObjecten Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sorry for the downtime Just so you know what happened, a message from our community team which was posted on Facebook on Saturday: == "This morning our data center went down, taking Shapeways.com and any other sites hosted there with it. Our data center team, as well as the Shapeways tireless tech team, are working hard on a solution. We hope to be online sometime early tomorrow morning around 6am Eastern, and will keep you updated here as things progress.This is a data center issue that was unexpected and out of our control. We are just as frustrated as you are by this downtime, and we thank you for your incredible patience. We will keep everyone updated on our social channels as we come back online." == The good news is that Sunday morning we were back online Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 22, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks for that. I was halfway through uploading something and thought I'd broken it - I once took out some ATMs when working for a bank in the UK, erm, a couple of times. ;-/ Good to see you're back, I've an upload happening today. Merry Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
