Where is the Christmas Sale?


Website Feedback


I was disappointed there was no big Christmas Sale on Pathfinder products. Too bad.. I was prepared to buy if the price would come down a bit.

Thanks for the info... Is this posted somewhere on the website?

If I recall correctly, you have your "allow Paizo to send you promotional emails" preferences turned on, you should have received an email about it last week.

There was an email sent? Not seeing anything. However, it's cool that Dr. Lucky's back in stock ^_^

I believe physical Christmas cards were included in shipments in the last few weeks, but that the email goes out next week.

Ahh. See, I don't get the emails because Erik just yells the contents as he administers our weekly beatings.

Hmm. We'll have to fix that.

From now on, beatings shall be twice weekly.

Sleepless by night for the Technical Director ?

I didn't find out about "Cyber Monday" until almost midnight, at which point I also found out that Paizo doesn't take paypal and that I didn't have anything in my checking. Totally missed some dirt-cheap books and gaming aids; makes me wish I'd checked the homepage more often.

But Paypal can make "one time use mastercard numbers" which paizo WILL accept.


But I want to buy with my 10 percent off coupon now... sad face.

About time. Talk was Paizo was getting soft again....

Was there an email sent?

If so, I missed it.

It's going out today! (Since the offer window begins tomorrow, we didn't want it to arrive *too* early...)

It's already January the 1st here. :-P

Happy New Years and thanks for the great service.

Thanks for the update Vic.

Happy New Year!

Aye, me too. Put some products in my cart and now I'm ready to spend some money.

This has probably been answered somewhere else, but does the 10% stack with the 15% subscriber discount??


I'll have to hope that January is kinder to me than the end of December has been . . . the heater going out in the car, followed immediately by the induction fan going out in our heater in our home, plus Christmas, plus my wife unemployed, equals no goodies for KEJR for right now.

I received the email today, and I would like to say I am shocked and appalled by the artwork contained in it. Seoni's outfit and her implied actions are utterly unconscionable.

Seoni's use of fur on her outfit is an act of cruelty completely out of bounds for a character of non-evil alignment. One can only imagine what sort of horrible plans she has for the fur of those poor, defenseless yeti she has captured.

I am deeply disappointed with Paizo for promoting such unethical behavior using one of their most popular iconics. What sort of message does this send to the children?

Gullible/reactionary people:
Lighten up, people. This is a joke.


It is here! I have my discount code! w00000000000t!

There use to be 4 of them, where do you thing the fur boots came from? :)

does the holiday sale only go into effect when it's January Pacific Time?


>>>The promotional code "holiday10" is no longer valid and has been removed from your order.

Why doesn't the code work?

My guess it won't officially start until midnight PST which is still almost a hour away or even more likely. Not until the morning when some of them get into the office. Since it only works for January and techincaly it is still Dec.

Indeed. I got the same message when I first tried using the code (yes, I'm impatient!). It worked like a charm the second time I tried and two Call of Cthulhu books have been ordered!

Well, it didn't work for *anyone* until midnight PST. That was by design. And then it only worked for anybody who hadn't used the Holiday '09 code... that was *not* intended... but we're fixing it now.

Sorry!

No, the card's fine print says the coupon applies to non-subscription, non-backorder, non-preorder, and only Paizo pdfs, and not the Star Wars collectible thingy.

The non-subscription part would rule out the stacking.

They're not boots, they are leg warmers! Seoni likes to be trendy.

Sorry—I missed that question. No, it doesn't apply to subscription products, but it *does* stack with other discounts, including the Pathfinder Advantage—which is I assume what the original poster meant by "subscriber discount." The discount is applied to all applicable products in your order before tax and shipping, but after any other discounts.

Ah, I guessed that much when I got the same message when applying the promotional code. So I will wait a little longer ... and I will certainly resist adding some more books to my shopping cart ...

... must resist ... must ...

It's a trap!


Finally..Now I can go ahead and buy all of the Rise Of the Runelords PDFs.


By the way, Happy New Year to everyone. This is a great website.

The code should now work exactly once for everybody!

Thanks Vic, after my question was posted the store blog went up and went and answered it anyway, but still thanks for answering it here as well.

Hiphip horay!

I love Paizo.

Placed my order.
It was fun playing around with the promotional code/bonus discount on S&H, trying to optimize the order's contents to squeeze every ounce out of an international shipping.


Maybe a silly question, but will the holiday discount stack with the Planet Stories back issue discount that subscribers get?

It's supposed to be the one discount that does stack with a subscriber's discount. I received 25% off my order with the discount (15% AP discount and 10% from the holiday).

Yep—it comes off the subtotal after all other discounts have been applied (but before shipping and sales tax, where applicable).
