December 2017 New Releases & Subscription Shipping Thread


Customer Service

Customer Service Representative

To accommodate U.S. fall and winter postal holidays, the September, October, November and December new release schedules have shifted slightly from our standard shipping cycle dates.

edit 11/28/17: We've been integrating a new method for the order generation process which does not authorize payment methods as frequently when an order is created. Instead most cards that have previously had successful transactions will be authorized closer to when your order is being prepared for shipping (at least that is the goal).
If you have previously used the authorization process for budgeting purposes, please note that this now may function differently for you.
Let us know if you have any questions!

The following information, including dates and expected products, is what we currently estimate and may change.

Order advice:
↬If you need to make changes to the subscription details after the auth/order creation date, double check the changes applied to both the pending order and the subscription.
↬ If you have a licensed subscription you can choose to have it shipped as soon as possible, or with your monthly subscription shipment. This setting is available on a per subscription basis on your My Subscription page.
↬If you have questions about your individual order or subscriptions, please start a new thread.

What's the status of the Iconic Heroes?

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Manager

7 is in and should be shipping if you had ordered it separately and in your December order if its in your sidecart. Have to check in on 8 but it will probably not be included in a monthly release as it is likely to arrive outside of the window that we need items to arrive in so that they can be included with a monthly shipment.

I think there's an error as it says the alien archive pawn box is in this sub and was a November release.

This definitely warrants a “Yay!”

Because of the US Thanksgiving holiday weekend from November 23-26 we've been reviewing when order generation would work best.
The conclusion we came to is that we will set dates for creating orders on November 27th and beginning to ship on November 30th.

If you need to make changes to your subscriptions, add items for the holiday gifts to your sidecarts or any other changes, we urge you to take care of these as soon as possible!
While we have the end of the subscription shipping window set to December 15th (two days after the retail release date) we do currently estimate that we will be wrapped up with subscription orders by the 13th, however our warehouse manager Will and myself both feel adding in the extra two days as a buffer is the wisest estimation.

thanks,
Sara Marie

Oooo, the 30th is my birthday so hopefully I get one of the early shipping notices :3

Take heart, if I can get my shipping notice before Skeld twice, anyone can.

And here's hoping you don't have to work through that weekend as you did last month.

Um, a) The 30th is a Thursday, and

b) How can the 13th and 15th of December both be Wednesdays?

;)

Fixed. Thank you.

Was this delayed? Or are the orders being spawned as I type?

Lantern Lodge Customer Service Manager

Orders should be being spawned. It was about 1/4 done when I left today. If it crashed I’ll restart it first thing tomorrow.


<panic mode>For some reason, Taldor, the First Empire isn't included in the authorization email I received a few hours ago, even though I subscribe to the Pathfinder Campaign Setting line.</panic mode>


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Well, my subscription page got all wonky, so something is happening.


My auth-email is looking good. YAY!

Looks like it stopped on an error late last night. I've restarted it and it should finish sometime today.

The order creation process has finished. If something isn't right with your account, please let us know.


I for one welcome our new Elebrian Overlords.


Hi Sara

I didn't get an email and can't see any sign of a subscription order - there are some things in my sidecart I would have expected to have been swept up into a subscription run too.

One potential complication is a PF CRB special - which I have asked to have sent separately (and which is pending on further information I beleve). Maybe those shenanigans have had an impact?

Cheers
Steve

PS - I did get the "preauth" message for both PFS and SFS.


I am mad that December orders started the "shipping will be soon" emails. I was trying to start a subscription for Taldor the First Empire campaign setting book and it wouldn't let me. Is it too late to start a subscription with this item now?

So what's going on with subs this month?

Hey folks, Just a heads up, we are waiting on an insert to arrive. We've put off shipping until Monday however the warehouse is prepacking and prepping to make shipping go as quickly as possible.

AHA! I was wondering why nobody was commenting about the latest products! I'm in stitches every month, but this one matters since there are gifts involved! Granted, even worst case means a week before Christmas, but still...

Dark Archive

The Paizo Christmas cards are coming. :)


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Oh yeah!

Good news, everyone! We should be all finished sending out subscription shipments!

This excludes any orders that may have come up against issues with payment methods, addresses, etc. If we did have a problem sending out your order, you should have received an email to let you know what was holding things up.

Please let us know if there are any issues with your subscription shipments, and we'll be glad to take a look into it. Thanks!
