Question about subscription shipping

I've been an Adventure Path subscriber for a few months, and I've recently added the player companion subscription, the module subscription, and the campaign setting subscription. My question is that in older posts I've seen references to combining shipping as an option on multiple subscriptions, but I can't seem to find that option. Will these items automatically ship together or will they be shipped as they are released, even if released in the same month?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this

Click "my subscriptions" at the top of the page, and you'll see the option to choose between "hold for monthly Paizo shipment" (everything ships at once, monthly) or "never hold anything" (items ship as they're available.)

Thanks for the response, but all I see is "Preferred shipping method", i.e. cheapest, usps first class, priority, etc. That doesn't mean I'm not missing something obvious.

Hmm, strange, mine gives me "Subscription Shipping Options" just above "Preferred Shipping Method." Guess we'll have to wait and see what the customer service people have to say as to why you're not seeing that option.


Because he doesn't subscribe to the comics or miniatures. All subscription items other than those ship together every month automatically now.

Okay, so I don't have to do anything and it'll ship together every month?


Oooh, that makes sense Joana, thanks! I hadn't considered that my Comics sub was making the difference (and yup, as the Adventure Path, Campaign Setting, and Modules all get released on the same day they should all ship together)

Thanks a lot, guys. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some obvious thing, but it looks like my December order are all scheduled to ship together. I guess I just subscribed to the other stuff too late this month. Btw, you guys seem to be in the know... Why not AP for next month?


FAQ link

Back in Ye Olden Dayes, the various Paizo product lines used to become available at different times of the month, so if you wanted a single shipment every month, you'd have to choose Hold for Monthly Shipment.

Since then, Paizo has arranged their product schedule so all the products they make come out together. The minis and comics are produced by different companies so they don't have the same control over when they arrive in the warehouse.

GenCon put them behind schedule. At some point, they'll release 2 AP volumes in a single month to catch up, as the August date for a new AP starting is a hard deadline.

Looks like these fine posters have pointed you in the correct direction. ^_^

Yes, the Comics & Battles lines are presently the only subscriptions with different release times. The remaining subscription lines should all ship together during our monthly subscription run.
