Ran out of time here a bit trying to get this up before the weekend. I'll be filling in some stuff on Monday as well as double checking some products and things to make sure they are still planned for September releases.

Is the "Player Companion: Heroes of the Street" really coming out this month? It is the only september product that has not received an update and still has a placeholder cover.

The rest seems to be on track.
Thx Sara Marie.

The only product you "forgot" is the "Slum Quarter" flip-mat in maps. ;-)

The best information I have currently is that Heroes of the Street is on the September schedule. I will see if I can find out anything further about the product updates for that.


Is there a specific release date for Inner Sea Races yet?

I see it listed for September 30th, like the rest of the September releases.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Manager

Yes, all of the Paizo releases will be September 30th.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Manager

Heads up, Customer Service will be closed Monday, Sept 7th for the Labor Day Holiday.


If my subscription could wait until the 18th to ship that would be awesome:-)

Paizo Employee Customer Service Representative

Updated to add street dates from other publishers (Big Finish for the Legends series and Tor for the Tales novels.)


Oh that's awesomeness! It should fit together perfectly, you guys are the best! :-)

We just sent out an update to subscribers who are expecting subscription shipments in the month of September. Below is the text of that in email in case you missed it:

Quote:

As a Paizo subscriber, you will have received your authorization email for your subscription shipment Thursday, September 3. This month our warehouse is working to ship 12 different new releases to customers, including our latest hardcover Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Races. We wanted to let you know that because of the volume of orders and products shipping this month that we anticipate that shipping may take our team up to a week longer than anticipated, making our "ship-by" target Friday, September 25.

This means that the download included with any (or all) of your subscription items may not be accessible until later in our estimated shipping window. We wanted to give you advance notice because we know that many of our subscribers are excited to see the new content headed their way as soon as possible.

If you have not received your shipment email notifying you that your downloads are available, or that your package(s) have shipped by Friday, September 25, please contact us through the Customer Service forum on paizo.com, our email at customer.service@paizo.com, or by telephone at (425) 250-0800. Any further updates regarding September subscription shipments can be found in the September 2015 New Release Shipping Thread on paizo.com.

Thank you for your continued support as a Paizo subscriber!

Since there's a hardcover releasing with this months subs, someone needs to create and link a Ned Stark "green packing peanuts are coming" meme picture. You know, to get everyone in the mood for venting about them.

Thanks. I wasn't aware that it had been pushed back! (Since it was originally on the schedule for early September, hence my eagerness.)


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

That was not a pushback -- "Early September" was the estimated "Begin shipping" date and has not changed. The street date for all Paizo products is usually the last Wednesday of the month.

The release date of the August releases did get pushed back, from the last Wednesday in August to the first Wednesday in September.

Are the shipments still chugging along without any incidents so far?

On a couple of the product pages I've seen posters announce that they've received the content and start posting small spoilers, so I'd assume so - it's not going as fast as I'd like*.

*Obviously, if they just had the wisdom to ship my box first, the speed would be perfectly fine.

We've printed a ton of the bulk labels and the front shipping desk is packing and taping up orders at a good clip. DrSwordoplis, when the label is printed and the order is charged either for the bulk shipping we do during subscriptions or the individual orders going through the shipping desk, the PDF where applicable is granted. I would be sincerely surprised if more than a handful of people have their hands on the physical books yet.

When I said "received their content" I meant "received their PDF", my apologies. Like you, I'd be astonished if more than a handful had actually received their books in the mail.

Not complaining about the shipping speed, was more tongue in cheek than anything. Just eager to get my mitts on the next Hell's Rebels book so I can continue prepping.


Does the warehouse still ship during the weekend?


Never mind, got that question answered already.

That makes me envious. :)


I doubt if he already got it, my guess is they were referring to Adam answering no a little ways up thread.


No, I haven't gotten it yet but my question was answered else were.


Pathfinder Maps, Pathfinder Accessories Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Charter Superscriber; Starfinder Charter Superscriber

I see.


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

As a checkpoint for anyone tracking the shipping notices, I just got my PDF (and presumably the associated shipping notice -- I won't be able to check that for a few hours) for my Adventure Path subscription, and this order had a lot of other stuff in it -- so they are far enough along with the shipping that they have at least started boxing up the more complicated orders.

Dark Archive

Mine still has not moved and it was hardly a complicated order.


Pathfinder Adventure, Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Maps, PF Special Edition, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Maps, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I got my notification last Friday, the estimated end shipping date is this Friday. The order things ship in isn't based on order complexity (although that may be one factor of it), so unfortunately that isn't a good indicator of when something may finally ship.


Got mine in the mail Friday, but it's really simple.


Got the first half of my order weeks ago (heavy stuff). Still waiting on the second half to ship. (-_-) *sigh*


As I understand it, Paizo intentionally don't always start at the simple orders and then go through to the complicated ones (if they did that, they'd effectively be providing a disincentive to subscribers adding extra subscriptions or other goodies). My orders are generally complicated and there hasn't seemed to be any rhyme nor reason to where I sit in the queue over the years.

The one exception I've found is longstanding preorders from third parties. I try to remember to never batch those "to ship with my subscriptions" as they inevitably mess things around for me - it seems to me that the software gets confused regularly by that situation and I've had several orders languish for a few weeks waiting on a book from another publisher which has recently become available.


I haven't actually got anything yet, but it's all in the "Mail Innovations" black hole somewhere, as of yesterday when the main shipment package was thrown in there.


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

By "complicated" I was not referring to multiple subscriptions but to subscription orders combined with a large number of non-subscription orders -- which is what my shipment for this month is because I took big advantage of the summer sale last month. There were enough items in my order that I can be fairly sure that it was unique in what it contained.

I am sure that any combination of multiple subscriptions would be common to numerous orders -- and I think I do recall seeing that they tend to do the subscription "batches" ahead of the custom orders.

Dark Archive

I'm in the still waiting for confirmation boat. Added two items outside of my subscription so it can't be that complicated, I think there must Be some other variable. Just hoping my stuff arrives before my 4 day weekend next week.


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

Anything after this Friday would make them late with the shipping, according to the edited version of the first message in this thread.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Manager

After chatting with the warehouse, we should be mostly wrapped up with September new releases. If you haven't seen your order ship and you do not know why, go a head and ping customer service (new thread, email or phone call) so we can figure out what's going on.
