This is awesome. I hope that business remains up!

we have run through what was an 8-month supply of our Pathfinder Core Rulebook in the last 2 weeks
The ORC Horde has arrived and pillaged the warehouse! This is awesome news!

Luckily they won't run out of the PDF
Maybe make a subscription for the Core Rule book again so people waiting for it can get the PDF with it while they wait.
Points the ORC hoard to the stack of Starfinder books to pillage as well!
An evergreen “start Subscription with Core Rulebook” option would be neat.

Oh my. What a terrible problem to have.
Pssst. Let's see if we can get 'em sold out of the 5th printing before they land in April.

Challenge accepted
As someone who subbed to the rulebook subscription just the other day, will I need to wait for April before I get even the PDF of the core rulebook?
My brother is starting a campaign next month and I was hoping to have a physical copy on-hand to refer to as a new player, but a PDF on a large tablet was my second option.
Will I need to *borrow* someone else's PDF just to tide me over?
This is bliss!

I am very excited to learn how to play Pathfinder 2e and I am very patiently awaiting my order but I did have a question for a point of clarity... any idea how long a non-mint copy of the Core Rulebook could potentially take to reach the point where it gets shipped? I ordered a beginner's box, a non-mint core rulebook, and a Dungeon Mastery guide in hardcover. I know that orders are very backed up and I am willing to wait as the change was triggered by everything going on. I am really happy for you all that you managed to sell out so fast!
Thanks in advance,
Balthizar, Forever DM 2eAD&D and soon pathfinder 2e!
There is no "dashboard" for me to look at to answer your question. If I can get a report from the warehouse, that can be shared externally, I will reply.

If they still have the Pocket edition of the Core Rulebook and you play your games anywhere but your own home, I would definitely recommend getting that version for convenience.
Curious - does the inventory issues affect orders already placed before this announcement?
i.e. I have an order from 1/14 that included the core rule book (and beginner box) and since it is close to the 20 day mark, I was wondering if that shipment might be delayed until the restock or if there was enough for the earlier orders.

I'd assume that all orders made before the announcement are fine. I placed my order the exact day the sale went live and I JUST got my book today, almost 3 weeks later. I made a separate order just a week later that has yet to ship, so it'll just be a while

Huzzah! Our warehouse team reports some significant catchup. We should be within normal webstore ship times going forward.

Right. My understanding, without looking at your cases specifically, is that if we had inventory at the time you placed the order, it is reserve and the warehouse is shipping. To my knowledge, we have not "oversold" like an airline.
This is great news!!

Apparently my Core Rule Book and Beginners box were split out from my original order (37194412) and turned into a new one for the first of my subscriptions. This created a new one (37194420) that is now showing up as product not in stock. I guess that moved me out of my place in line. As far as I can tell, now I won't get the items or the subscriptions.
/sigh had I known I wouldn't have signed up for the subscriptions.

Im not sure if things have changed, but in "the old days" situations like yours were fine - your copy is set aside for when your subscription ships to save you postage so if they go out of stock thats for new orders, not for pending, sidecarted orders.
So I wouldnt despair yet.
(The "out of stock/backorder" flag is a long running display glitch that can cause confusion. Your copy should be fine - but if you order a second book there'll be a delay).

If you dont want to wait,you can email customer.service@paizo.com and ask them to ship your sidecart immediately, without waiting for your next subscription shipment.
That will cost you more in postage overall, but might give you peace of mind.

I'm also having an issue with an order (#37265628) that was placed on 1/20...at time of order, and acknowledgement I received, it indicated ALL items were instock and would ship in 11-20 days. We're now at 42 days, three (3) emails to customer service, and no responses whatsoever. Not even the courtesy of acknowledging my inquiry for a status update. I understand the situation with the run on products, but at the least can someone communicate something? Per this thread, my order should have been earmarked as it was nearly a week prior to the announcement of the shortage...my account shows all the other books as in stock, but appears to be holding the whole thing due to the Core Rules (Pocket edition). As mentioned, I've inquired three times with customer service (even got a ticket number for it), but have gotten nothing but silence. A call got me an automated message advising no one is in the office and can't take calls, please email for an expedient response...I don't even know if I'm going to get the items and basically it seems the system is set up so you can't even contact anyone. Very much want to play PF2, but this experience is souring me rather quickly. Sort of a longshot posting here, but hoping that maybe someone can, at the least, give me an update?

If I were in your shoes, DarthWader, at this point I'd be emailing the CEO.

Paizo CS reached out to DarthWader last week. Communication is occurring.
