Is it true that Nothing will be shipped in March of this year?

Vic's said that it's possible that they might go out late March, but unlikely.

The reason for this is that Chinese New Year was a bit early this year (Jan 23-27), and Paizo's printer shut down for that week. That meant that the March print run got pushed back, but it's uncertain this far out when the books will be at the warehouse.

I didn't word that first Chinese New year post as well as I should have... what I was trying to say is that the Chinese New Year shutdown was the reason we weren't able to get updated shipping schedules for a couple of weeks; it was not itself the reason for any product delays.

The holiday has ended now, and we have some more info. We now know that the March products *are* currently slated to reach the US in the very last week of March, but because there's still the possibility that delivery may slide a few days, we're still saying early April for the ship dates. We likely won't have the confidence to shift that for at least a couple more weeks.

To sum up: we *may* be able to ship the March products in the last week of March, but we won't know for sure for a few more weeks. Until then, we're assuming it'll be the first week of April.

We're expecting some delivery information updates soon, so look for that page to change a bit. (For one thing, the April shipment will almost certainly be early or mid-April, not late April...)

Something's definitely funky since mine is showing nothing shipping till mid-May and then it's a giant logjam.

Yeah Mine too. Im not to worried about everything coming at once, but yeah I have all of the first 3 skull and shackles shipping mid-may. I would like some more info on this so I can prepare for a 60 dollar shipment that month. Please let us know as soon as possible because these shipping problems are starting to seem more frequent.

Mine is showing the same thing...and as a person with a number of subscriptions...it is a tad pricey :)


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

I've got all my next stuff listed for mid-May, too, including three Adventure Path volumes...


Mine is Showing Mid June

I would die with no pathfinder till mid June but the nice thing is my Rise of The Runelords hardcover would be in that order lol

I've given the product schedule a prod. Folks with Hold for Monthly set should see their April shipment now.

Still borked, showing an uber-shipment in June and nothing else.

When I take a peek at your account I see shipments in late April and late May. It may be taking a little while for the changes to percolate through the system.

Paizo Employee Chief Technical Officer

As I mentioned earlier, we should have better data soon. I expect the stuff that's currently listed as late April to wind up in mid April, and I expect some of the stuff that's currently listed in May to be pushed back. (Visions of WAR will almost certainly be one of the titles that gets pushed back.)

Longer term, we currently expect to fully recover from our delays by mid-August, and we'll probably have to do a run of several shipments separated by three-week gaps towards the end of that period to get us back on track.

My subs schedule looks much better now, shows April and May shipments. Thanks!

For me, it's now "late May" for everything on schedule.

Yeah I'm still reading late May in mine too (although thankfully the price has dropped by $36 to $155 from the $191 it was when I last checked...)


Mine was April and May, but now it is all late May.

However, that is ok. Saves me on shipping and it gets me the two new tales books right around the time that I will finish the current book that I am reading,

Interesting, when it set the shipping option to "Never hold anything", my stuff gets split into two shipments, one in late April, and one in late May. If I set to "Hold for monthly shipment", everything slips to late May. Seems like a software glitch.

We've adjusted the product schedule again. Is this still displaying incorrectly for anyone?

I am wondering when we'll get that double hit of APs from the missed issue at the end of the year.

We intend to be back on schedule in August. We're aiming to compress the gaps between volumes to 3 weeks instead of 4 for a few months so that we don't have to actually double up AP volumes in the same package, but it's too early to say whether or not we'll be able to achieve that goal. If we do have to actually double up, that would probably happen in August.

Liberty's Edge

Mine is back to the double issue in May again. Is it just to early still for things to settle down?

SHould I wait till early to mid April before I start to get concerned? Or maybe concerned is the wrong word...


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game, Starfinder Society Subscriber

Mine shows the same thing one big shipment in May.


Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Society Subscriber

In case it helps with bug hunting, mine still shows separate shipments for April and May.

Paizo Employee Senior Software Developer

In between Justin's post and Paul's, we fixed the problem (see this thread for more discussion of today's problem). Also, the product calendar should now say "mid-April" instead of "late April" because that's closer to what we expect.
