↬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 4-11 business days or longer, 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.

❆✿❄If you have questions about your individual order or subscriptions, please start a new thread.❆✿❄

Up early to help people plan for the next few months due to the unavailability of the estimates on My Subscription pages. Original post will be updated if information changes and thread will remain locked until we are closer to the release month.

Opening thread up for auth on Thursday, October 2nd.


So just to check that I am reading this right. I am subscribed to both the adventure path and the ACG, this month there is no ACG product so it will just be the AP?

Grand Lodge

That's right. Vic mentioned here the delay with Adventure Deck 2 pushing all the other Adventure Decks back by a month, so no Adventure Deck 3 in October.

Any idea when the example shipments are going to be back up? As a UK subscriber, shipping costs are difficult to predict so I use the subscriptions page to get a rough estimate of how much the month's shipment is going to cost and without it I'm a bit stuck.

Liberty's Edge

Pretty excited about this month!

Corrected a copy/paste failure in the product list.


Hi all,
I have just emailed customer service to suspend my Pathfinder rpg subscription for the next few months. I've been trying to do it on the site, but the pages have been undergoing maintenance (although I could be looking in the wrong place).

I understand you're all busy right now, but I thought I'd drop the request here as well as the email...

Thanks!


Apocryphile: There is no place on the site where you can suspend your subscriptions yourself, you need to contact CS.

That said, posting here is probably best (though you might want to create your own thread), as (last I heard) they had a backlog of close to 2000 emails in their inbox.

Anyway...

Thank you Paizo!
Thank you for another great sale!
My wallet keeps getting thinner and thinner...

I just hope you have enough staff in the warehouse to handle that sale and the regular orders and subscriptions this month...

Looking foreward to receive my subscription order pending email for October.

Current email count is 2007. I tried really hard to get it under 2000 before Sharaya and Katina got in this morning because hitting 2k is pretty depressing, but alas, couldn't seem to get them out faster than they came in. We are doing our best to triage the situation.

That being said, we came across an issue with how shipping costs are displayed and we are currently assessing the situation. We won't be authorizing/spawning today and I am holding off on changing things too permanently until we have a better idea of where we sit.

thanks

2000 emails? Ouch. What's causing the massive influx lately? You guys normally seem to be pretty snappy about resolving things, so I can only assume that there's something new causing issues.

Thanks Franz.

2000 emails is ouch.

Sorry I added to that pile, I'll do my best not to in future!


Pathfinder Lost Omens Subscriber

Sara Marie - is the timetable in the first post above still valid? Thanks

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

I apologize as I thought I had updated it, but apparently had not. We had a ship issue crop up last week and had to fix that up first. It was touch and go if it would be ready by today. It looks good in their end and in our test environment so I will be starting it within the next couple hours.

thanks

Hi there, as someone else previously asked, any Idea when the subscription page will be functional again? I rely on that for my monthly subscription cost and shipping estimates as I am an international subscriber...also handy so I know how much money to have in my account and when!

Cheers

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

I know how much people need that functional, but unfortunately I do not have an estimate.

I'm getting started.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Things appear good. Letting it run unhindered.


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Starfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Got my authorization e-mail. Looks good. Thanks Sara Marie, always a pleasure.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Auth is running smoothly. I have to head out but will check it first thing in the morning and very likely need to restart it first thing tomorrow.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Sara Marie,

I Received my authorization tonight and just wanted to try to address this while there is still time. I sent Customer Service an email to suspend my Campaign Setting sub for the month but it has been authorized anyway. I realize that the email backlog is massive so and that's why I'm checking in here too.


Got my auth as well. Too bad I'm probably going to be near the back end of the shipping line because of my sidecarted sale items needing to be hand picked. Oh well, the savings make it well worth the wait.


Yup just got mine too, postage 113 books 120 :D

Still bloody cheap tho!

I see my auth came through last night, but the Pathfinder Legends #4 wasn't part of it.
Has that been delayed? Or did it not correctly slide from my side cart to the order?


Received my authorization last night as well.

However, last week I started a new subscription (PACG) and it authorized and shipped immediatly instead of waiting for my monthly shipment. Not a huge deal, definitely not upset, but wanted to bring it up in case this is another glitch in the system.

It doesn't look like it made it from the order to the sidecart so it was just chilling by itself in an order. I've combined them and I will send a new confirmation email.

The glitch lies in our order checkout system and its less of a "glitch" and more of just "confusing interface" because sometimes you have to go backwards through checkout buttons to find the option for combining with subscription shipments.

Timed out early this morning. I've restarted things and its almost done running. About another 30 minutes.

I've suspended the subscription and put Ships of the Inner Sea in your sidecart for when you unsuspend it. Just let customer service know when you are ready to unsuspend it.

EDIT; I just read the email and it sounds like you want it cancelled, not suspended. Please let me know if this is not the case.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Auth/Order spawning is all done. If you didn't get your order spawned and you were expecting it too please let customer service know. Keep in mind there was no card game release this month. Deck #2 should have shipped in September. I did notice that some people who started with the add-on deck last month didn't have deck #2 spawned. If you still don't have an order for deck #2, let customer service know.

So orders are shipping now?

You're right. That is confusing. If I understand you correctly, there's a button in the interface that will tell the system to ship a new subscription with my monthly subscriptions. ;-)

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

Yes. Because its for a new subscription, it needs a starting line item to begin. And it has to put that starting line item somewhere. And since its already been released it defaults to shipping right now so that you can get your new subscription item right away.

How about now?


I got my shipment info for the AP today, but not expected to ship out until the 24th? That seems like a long wait...


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Was it an email that says "A package containing # items from Paizo Order #0000000 is expected to ship from the Paizo warehouse by Friday, October 24 via some delivery service, estimated # to # business days in transit." or something like that?

If so, that email gets generated when the label for your package is printed. It usually (usually) gets shipped in the next day or two. The date on the end is simply the date they expect to have all shipping done. Every single email will say that date, not just yours. So don't take that to mean it won't ship until the 24th. Take it to mean they are close enough to your order in the shipping queue that they printed your label.


Any chance for an update on how far along the shipping process has gotten before everyone leaves for the weekend?

At least I hope everyone leaves for the weekend.

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Dire Care Bear Manager

The warehouse is doing awesome, we've got a whole cadre of contractors helping get things out the door as soon as we can. However, the sale and the giant orders that are coming through make it hard to judge where we are.


Ah well, as long as it's ticking along.

So office is closed on Monday does that also mean the warehouse will be closed (So no sunscription shipment going out?)


Monday is a federal holiday, so anything being shipped by USPS wouldn't go anywhere anyway. UPS works Columbus Day, though.

Boo for Columbus!

I don't think Columbus Day is a public holiday in Washington State, so i imagine the Paizo team will be working as usual on Monday. Maybe USPS won't work, but we should still get our pdf copies as i think they are dropped into our downloads when the label for the postal delivery is generated. But i could be wrong!


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

Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia, only Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, and South Dakota do not recognize Columbus Day at all, In fact, just last week, the Seattle City Council has voted to replace Columbus Day by the new Indigenous Peoples' Day, as various other cities have done since 1992. So, I guess, we're out of luck.

You are.

The Paizo office will be closed on Monday, October 13.

We will reopen on Tuesday, October 14.

Regardless of what Seattle or Washington state do, Columbus day is a Federal holiday. No USPS.
