Does this mean we are caught up on the Companion Line now?

Sure!*

*not a guarantee

Liberty's Edge

I guess I meant to, and should have, said "for now" instead of "now".

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

I have updated the information for Goblins #2 (doing the auth/spawn tomorrow morning and shipping in the afternoon).

Pathfinder Comics #9 is delayed.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

I just started authing Comics subscriptions for those who have selected "never hold anything".

Thanks

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

The authing/order spawning has been completed for folks with "never hold anythings" and comics subscriptions.

We will begin shipping in a few hours.

thanks

Hmmmm, I haven't had an email (In the next week or so, we're expecting to ship) but My Subscriptions says it was authorized on Thursday. Is that normal?

"Payment Method Authorized: Thursday" means this Thursday, September 12th as listed above

Aha - sorry, my foolish assumption that there was no temporal jiggery-pokery :-)

Thanks!

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

The Auth Run/Order Spawning has begun! I'll post a follow up when its done. Just as an FYI, the last several months have ended up with the auth run/order spawning taking two days. When that happens, you might see some display issues if your order hasn't been spawned by Thursday night. Once I post that it has been completed, if you still see weirdness with your My Subscription, let me know.

If you notice something is wrong with your Order Confirmation email (the one that says: "In the next week or so, we're expecting to ship *Blah*, the next volume of your subscription." please email us or post in an individual thread as soon as possible so we can take care of it right away.

thanks!

Any word on the Pathfinder Battles—Builder Series: Undead Horde?

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

No word on Undead Horde other than that it will not be in September's regular sub shipment if you had it in your sidecart.

Scarab Sages

Pathfinder Maps Subscriber

Thank you.

Scarab Sages

Odd, I jut got my auth email, and it includes the Undead Horde, but lists it on backorder.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Well shoot. That's not good.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Ok, looks like Undead Horde *is* going out now. It is not on backorder and will start shipping next week. Woot.

Scarab Sages

Pathfinder Maps Subscriber

Nice... I have been looking forward to it.

Scarab Sages

Pathfinder Maps Subscriber

My authorization does not have undead horde in it. Is that a problem or everything on track?

Thanks

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Shem, yours were never in your sidecart. They are in a separate order. Do you want me to combine them?

Scarab Sages

Pathfinder Maps Subscriber

Please do. Thank you.


My September order looks good, but I'm wondering why it's shipping via USPS Priority Mail when I've selected "Cheapest" as my preferred shipping method.

I'm happy to wait a few days to save a few bucks on shipping. :)

Our system determined that Priority Mail is the cheapest option for shipping your order. Your order contains enough items that the package is either too large or too heavy to be sent either Standard Post or First Class.

Please remember to create your own thread in the Customer Service forum, as we do not want to lose your request in a long series of posts

Auth/order spawning finished last night. If you see weird stuff, let customer service know as soon as possible. We'll start shipping on Monday!


Hi guys,

For some reason all my September stuff now appears as October stuff....

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Looks like the code for Gen Con pick up was never turned off in the order generation system so folks who had Hold for Gen Con 2013 didn't get generated. Tech Team will be resolving this within the next hour or so.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Alrighty! Kickstarting the auth/order spawning again to catch those who missed it.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

And its already done! All the folks who had had Hold for Gen Con 2013 for august and got missed should be set.

This looks like the most boring month in a long time for me. No non-mythic game product at all, and Mythic Adventures is just not my game. Ah, well.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

The September shipping is going really well and we expect to meet our goal of having everything shipped or ready for postal pick up by Friday evening.


and once again, paizo misses the shipping deadline showing that my order seems to be generated at the very end of the line. no shipping notice and it's Friday 7pm in seattle

I have an update posted on your messageboard inquiry.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Sorry I was out on Monday and Tuesday and was not able to update this thread.

The warehouse finished shipping subscriptions Friday evening. They still had some orders to ship this week that needed resolutions for things like payment failures or missing items or other little issues preventing them from shipping. If your subscription shipment hasn't shipped and you aren't sure why, just drop customer service a line via email (customer.service@paizo.com) or by starting an individual customer service messageboard thread or by giving us a call.

I'm not impressed with UPS' tracking; still no information on a subscription item that posted here as shipping Friday.


I am very happy with my switch to UPS, had it to my house just minutes over 24 hours...

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

John, your order was shipped by UPS Mail Innovations which is not the same as UPS Ground. UPS MI goes through the UPS MI sorting facilities before being handed off to the USPS for final delivery. We've found that UPS MI does occasionally miss scanning packages for tracking updates at a higher rate than regular UPS ground. However, the package is still on its way to you, even if the tracking is not working correctly and should still make it within the 4-8 business day estimate for shipping. If your package was shipping by Friday, Sept 20, that puts the 4-8 business day delivery estimate about Sept. 26 (today) to about next Wednesday, Oct 2.

thanks

Ah--had forgotten the distinction. Their site has the UPS logo prominently displayed. Knowing it'd left Paizo by last Friday, I was expecting to see the tracking info by now.

Liberty's Edge

Pathfinder Adventure Path, Rulebook, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Got it yesterday, and UPS-MI never got tracking info up on it.

My september subscription order vanished and moved to a huge Oct order.
Can this be corrected


Hi Cylerist, it seems you've found the September 2013 subscription thread. Here is a link to the September 2014 thread, with an explanation for why that is (it is specifically about the card game, but is true of all subscriptions). Don't worry, it is all ok.

Thanks Hawkmoon

I'll second the "Thanks" to Hawkmoon.
