That was the display before the sale started. But once the start time arrived, you could indeed pre-order at the super early bird price.
I managed the ‘early bird’ preorder
Hoping it relegates my Flint 2 which has been rock solid.
I'll be keeping it as a ‘reserve’ just in case!.
I have fibre @ 1 gig just now, 1.6 gig is in the pipeline.
My ethernet is all 2.5 gbe with 3 unmanaged switches.
Well, one possibility I can think of is emails being delayed...
I noticed this with outlook when the subscribed mails went out (not the final release mail, but just that mail before), but this issue is known for me for some while, I think that outlook witholds mails for some time and later gives them free i guess to fight spam i find it kinda even a security risk lol, if their filters stop working my mail is unusable with the spam.
Honestly I think it is a much better way to check blindly just a few minutes before and refresh.
^ i don't have proof about the witholding theory but for me it seems to always be rounded up perfect every 15-30 minutes so that makes me a little sus.
I still haven't got the email, but at least I got my preorder in.
Can both 10G ports auto negotiate 10, 5, 2.5, 1G?
Is the SFP+ port limited to 10 or 1G?
Can both be used simultaneously?

I saw it before the SEB deal closed. Didn’t matter thanks to the ignoranuses at the FCC. GL.iNet Statement on Recent FCC Regulatory Developments Which sucks because at $259 USD I would have absolutely snapped it up in a heartbeat. I hope when it does get ETA for release in the USA there’s a deal to celebrate. Even if it’s just the Pre-Order price it would still be a good deal for the unit.

As others have stated, that wasn’t the case. I added one to my basket at around 13.01 BST. Faffed around finding a 10% discount code and bought it at 13.03 BST, according to my confirmation. As there was a limit to 1 item per account, for the SEB offer, I have no idea what happened after that.
I was refreshing the page from 12.00 BST and it changed at around 12.30 BST, to something that looked like a pre-order page but, without the ability to actually pre-order. All respect due to GL-iNet as the sale started at bang on 13.00 BST as far as I can tell.
I got my pre-order notification email at 12.44 BST, so that seems to have been well managed too.
I now just hope the device works as well as they’ve managed the launch. 
Is it normal for GL.iNet to charge my credit card for the preorder? Typically, retailers charge after the product has shipped, not before.
