June New Release Shipping Thread

[Sara Marie]

Hot* on the heels of Battles Miniature new releases comes the June Paizo Subscriptions! So close in fact, that I'm including the release and shipping information in this month's thread again. Many Battles and Comics subscribers have "Hold for Monthly" set for their subscriptions which means they will see the latests releases from those two product lines combined with their June subscriptions.

*Figuratively and literally as Redmond's been having gorgeous sunny weather lately!

↬If you have anything in your sidecart that is *ready to go* when we run the order spawning process, it will be shipped with this subscription.
↬If you want to add anything to this subscription order, you have until the authorization date to add it to your sidecart. If it is after the authorization date, make sure you choose to ship with the pending order number.
↬If you add an item to a pending subscription order and the added item has a "should ship from warehouse estimate of longer than 2-6 days, your subscription shipment will wait until that new item(s) arrive before it can be shipped. This may delay your subscription shipment!
↬If you need to make changes to the payment method or shipping address, you can make changes to the subscription until the authorization date, if it is after the authorization date, double check the changes applied to both the pending order and the subscription.

Last time I checked (in fact, right now), the Pathfinder Online pledge manager here at paizo.com specifies that:

Quote:

Your rewards will be automatically shipped with your subscriptions.

Goblinworks updates at Kickstarter are vague enough (to me at least) that they seem to suggest that they (Goblinworks) will do the shipping by themselves.

So in the end, should I expect all the items from my RPG Print Pack Add-On to get automatically added to my June subscriptions, or not? If so, do you know how this will affect shipping? (I payed $15 extra for shipping because I'm International; will the Kickstarter items count towards the $10 discount for $100+ orders?)

[Fayries]

It seems an invisible Sara Marie post is hiding here on this thread as post #4, but I can't see it.

In fact, it is tagged as posted on "Wednesday, 09:53 PM". The time is 31 minutes ago for my time zone, but two days in the future!

[Dragnmoon]

For those of us getting the Cards and Novel through the kickstarter will be getting them through the subscription as well?

This is not the first time Paizo staff have been discovered using a TARDIS...

No. Those items were already paid for during the kickstarter and the money went to Goblinworks. On the order they will be listed as $0.00 and will thus not apply towards the Paizo shipping discounts.

In case it was missed, there is still a future post floating in the recent posts panel for this thread.

How do these items work in terms of calculating shipping costs? Like Fayries, I also paid extra for International Shipping during the Kickstarter. But if these items are included as part of the Subscription Shipment, then their weight will go towards determining the overall shipping costs of the shipment. Just making sure I'm not charged for shipping twice on these items (once through Kickstarter and once from Paizo), since the KS items are going to be heavy.

Don't draw her attention!

You don't want to anger a Time Wizard. D:

[Sara Marie]

Time machines are dangerous when they act of their own accord.

[Hawkmoon269]

That was awesome! I'm sure I'm not the only one who was sitting here hitting refresh for the past 2 minutes waiting to see what would happen.

Theoretically they are not supposed to affect the cost of your shipping.

The best part is that I had been trying to adjust things to get it to post earlier and in the course of this removed and then unremoved it. So there is a handy little message on it that says: "unremoved by Sara Marie Tomorrow, 11:25 AM" :/

Time machines, sheesh.

[Kvantum]

Is there a reason my My Subscriptions page is now showing June and July combined into one massive order and no June shipment at all?

[Arazyr]

It often does that on or after the estimated date of order spawning. It's just a display bug. Once they run the order spawning process, it should straighten out. (Mine is like that too.)

[FabioMatt]

Hope the gobos have been fed! They have a lot of running to do on that treadmill to get the Great Spawn Machine spun up and motoring through orders!

I think they feed upon our impatience :) That ought to keep them going well into 2052.

[Sara Marie]

There are some user interface issues with the My Subscriptions page which are causing that page to display incorrectly.

[Sara Marie]

There is a significant chance the auth/order spawning will wait until tomorrow.

[Sara Marie]

No auth/spawning today. Trying to resolve a detail with the kickstarter items getting added.

I would hope so. Right now it's showing no July order either. Just one $200+ order for August. O_o

>_< Computers. (Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to trying to figure out CSS for the new version of my employer's website... *shudders*)

Yeah, that seems to happen for a day or two every month, just before order spawning. I've stopped getting worried about it, which means one day I'm going to be horrified at the bill when it turns out it wasn't a bug that time around ;)

[Sara Marie]

I'm beginning the process. We are authing/spawning for every subscription line but but Battles (which are in many people's sidecarts to ship with June) and the RPG line so this may take awhile.

[Sara Marie]

Estimated time remaining: 6818 minutes, 11 seconds

-.-

What, you didn't hop back into your time machine so you could go start it last week? ;)

[Laruuk]

That's 4.7348495370 days, if anyone's wondering.

:-P

[Pravus]

my order spawned (well I got the email) Order 3144915 is that shipping cost correct? seem mighty high to me ($42.32). I thought the Pathfinder Online stuff wasn't going to be factored into the shipping costs.

Sig figs.

(Sorry, the physics professor in my just got out.)

[Chris Ballard]

I received my spawning notice today. #3111011 I noticed that it did not include the Emerald Spire items. Is that supposed to shop separately?

I'm looking into this with Christopher, and it the meantime I've moved the KS stuff to their own order so it won't affect the cost.

[Sara Marie]

As a heads up. This is the largest auth/order spawning we have ever done. On a system that, at its core, was built for magazine subscriptions. We appreciate your patience while we poke and prod and try to get the little ducks goblins herded.

[Sara Marie]

Estimated time remaining: 604 minutes, 13 seconds

[Hawkmoon269]

Wow, the last 6214 minutes seemed to just fly by.

[Sara Marie]

I'm going home to bed. I'll check back in on it in the morning.

[Hawkmoon269]

Get some rest, you deserve it!

Well, she could, but unfortunately the system wasn't ready to start back then :).

[alkatrazshock]

my order hasn't been spawned yet, just as a heads up

[Curmudgeonly]

same, if the 604 mins estimate was accurate, they should have all spawned by now

[Hawkmoon269]

Given the original estimate and the drastic change in estimated time, I wouldn't be shocked if the estimate was not accurate.

[Sara Marie]

It died about 3:30 am on incredibly complex order. Looking at this thing I'm surprised it did as well as it did on the order before it gave up and crashed. Breaking the order up so the bin packer can handle it and then restarting the auth/spawning. I think its about 3/5 done.

[Sara Marie]

I'll check back in later this afternoon to make sure its either still running or finished. I will update when its all done so you know when to worry if your order hasn't spawned ;)

[Curmudgeonly]

And it just spawned.

Question - previously, my PF Battles case order and books would all ship together. This shipment is sending them separately, resulting in me being charged twice for shipping. Is this intended? Seems counter to the purpose of me waiting to ship the case to combine with my monthly subscription.

[Trizar]

Yes!

Mine spawned AND it charged my card correctly!

Thank you Erik K!!!

PS - somewhat disappointed it didn't ship with a free 48 inch tall stuffed Goblin...

:)

[Sara Marie]

Its going smoothly and hopefully should be done in a couple hours. Ill check back in tonight and make sure it finishes and do another update to let you guys know its done.

All the mini shipments seem to be coming in two boxes now, when before they'd come in one big box. :(

I read a few weeks ago in the news about UPS beginning to charge more for oversized boxes rather than just by weight, so I presume it's now cheaper to ship two regular boxes than one huge one - though sadly still more expensive than it used to be.

[Mine all mine...don't touch]

I know this month is crazy but.. this order is already pending on my account. I didn,t think we were getting charged shipping on top of the 100$ for the print add on. My order (3144920) has a shipping
charge of 30.25 for three books from my actual subscription and doesn,t list the actual Emerald Spire book. Further digging around shows it to be in my sidecart to be shipped with a future order.

Mine too. I have a thread about another issue with this order, so I'll add this to that thread/

[Sara Marie]

Yeah I noticed some of the hardcovers are still in the sidecart. Something I will look into on Monday morning along with the shipping cost issues.

thanks

[Sara Marie]

Oh, and it crashed again almooooooost at the end.
