I thinking about started the subscription for pathfinder 2e but it looks like its in the middle of the current path. Is there anyway to start the subscription from the start of Age of Ashes (1 OF 6) Hellknight Hill?
No. Subscriptions aren't retrospective - the only way to get the benefits is to be subscribed when an issue hits. It remains "live" until the next subscription goes out (so you can start with AP #147 at the moment, but in the next few days they'll spawn orders for AP #148 and then that will be the earliest a new sub can commence).

Just wanted to make sure I have this right, because I started my subscription this month with Age of Ashes #3. The benefits for subscribing have changed, and therefore I will not receive 30% off cover price, correct?
I read about Paizo Advantage, but I definitely don't have the means to subscribe to 4 different lines.

Just checking, cos' your release order is all screwy at the moment; if I restart subscription with Quest for the Frozen Fame (Jan), am I also going to get book 6 of Strength of Thousands (which I don't want), when/if it drop mid-Feb? Thanks. :)
Please coordinate your preference via email to customer.service@paizo.com.

What are the shipping costs looking like to the UK now?
I want the hard copy as my husband and I like to play at home, but mostly we play play by post online with groups, so would like the pdf too.
Obviously the cheaptest way should be to buy the hard copy and the pdf, however when I subscribed previously, the shipping often ended up being more expensive than just buying the hard copy on amazon and the pdf on here.....
TLDR: Please can I have an update on UK shipping costs.

You can generate this yourself and know it is specifically to your location and exactly the order you will place:
Put the latest available item(s) in your sidecart, then click checkout and go to the second step - that will show you the various shipping options available and the cost of each.
After that you can head back to step one, return to your cart and empty it.
The advantage of this method is you can play with volumes, bundles of differing items in a piecemeal way that general advice can never replicate.
Long story short though - subscribing isnt a cheap option for international customers. If youre concerned with costs, the strategy you allude to is best - buy the pdf here and the hardcopy from an online retailer with cheaper shipping.

Ok, I see now that some are 6 part and some are 3. Is there somewhere that describes or explains the difference?
6 parters are 1-20, 3 parters are either 1-10 or 11-20; the shorter APs apparently sell much better than the longer ones, so expect to see more of them going forward.
Age of Ashes, Extinction Curse, Agents of Edgewatch, Strength of Thousands, and Blood Lords are all 1-20s.
Abomination Vaults, Quest for the Frozen Flame, Outlaws of Alkenstar, Gatewalkers, and the upcoming Sky King’s Tomb are all 1-10s.
Fists of the Ruby Phoenix and the upcoming Stolen Fate are 11-20s.

Thanks, that's helpful. Any there any of the 3 parters that go well with others as sequels / prequels?

They’re all pretty distinct, with the assumption that you’d make a new character for any of the 11-20s, but you can make it work. FotRP is a fighting tournament for heroes on the far side of the world, so if they seek glory after their 1-10 adventures, it’s certainly an option. Stolen Fate seems like a pretty classic adventure (find the magic relics, stop the evil schemes!) that lots of heroes could get swept up into.

Just want to clarify - I believe book 1 of Gatewalkers is being shipped right now. If I purchase the subscription, will I get the book AND the PDF? Or did I miss the chance to get the PDF already? Thank you!
During the checkout phase of purchasing, you're given a choice of which product to start your subscription with. Usually your options are the currently available product or a pre-order option for the next release.
If you can't select the first module, send an email to customer.service@paizo.com and they'll start you on that first one.

Yeah, I know that - I'm asking if I missed the chance to get the PDF when I start my subscription.

If the print item is part of your subscription, you will get the PDF for free.
That's why I'm suggesting that you start your subscription with the first volume. If you can't do that*, then email customer service and ask them to do you a favor.
*The print edition just started shipping a few days ago. It is highly likely that you'll be able to start with that first volume.
Or, if you don't want to take the advice of a rando on the internet, contact customer service.

Just getting turned on to Pathfinder. I am interested in the subscription but am a little unclear.
1. I understand all products are shipped as they release. Thats the only time you pay correct?2. Can I start with the core rule set and then go through the core books 1 a month or some such?
Hi Khyron and welcome!
1) Correct. There isn't a monthly fee or anything of the such. You'll get an email from Paizo when the shipment has been authorized, and then a follow up email once it has actually shipped. You'll be charged on that 2nd email when the product has shipped.
2) Unfortunately no. Nothing stops you from just buying a book a month, but the subscription covers the most recent book, and then the upcoming books in that category.
Worth pointing out that this subscription is for the monthly adventure paths. You mentioned Core Books. If your looking for the Core Rulebook subscription, you can find that HERE
All subscriptions can be found HERE

Think of it like a magazine subscription (which is what it started as). When you subscribe you get the current issue, plus future issues each month. A free PDF is also included with the subscription. Though many people would like one, there is currently no PDF-only subscription.

There are the PFS and SFS subscriptions, but they probably wouldn't exist if many people were not getting them as a free benefit from having enough other subscriptions.

I'm interested in subscribing, but I'm wondering what the commitment is for the subscription, and what the terms are for cancellation? I'm game to give this a shot - it seems really cool - but don't want to be stuck perpetually paying $14/month if I end up not enjoying the product. :)
Thanks!

The post you’re responding to is over 16 years old. Prices have gone up just a bit since then.

I've been a subscriber for more than a decade. I'm having trouble with a payment method that is not being accepted. Rather than switching to another of my listed payment methods, you are refusing my subscription.
I have gotten several email messages from you about fixing my payment method, and I've tried to use your %#%#$ site to fix it. All it will allow me to do is add a new method, it won't switch from the one that has the problem.
You have sent me emails telling me how to fix the problem. I followed the instructions and they didn't work. I've even attempted to eliminate all payment methods and start rebuilding from scratch. NOTHING WORKS!!!
I would like to continue with my subscriptions, but your system won't charge my old payment method, won't switch to an alternative method, won't allow me to delete a non-working method, won't respond to the instructions you've suggested, wont' display my current payment methods, and won't leave an apparently endless loop of frustratingly stupid messages.
Pleas help me.

I'm a new subscriber and I subscribed to Pactbreaker yesterday! Until now, my order status is still pending and I want to know how long it will take for my order status to change to shipped!

Do you know if your UK customers are getting hit by import duties or are the shipments coming OK?
I Would like to know before I pull the trigger on the subscription.
Thank you
I'm in the UK and having no issue with import duties.
Shipments usually arrive about 2-4 weeks after shipping.
