  • New releases aren't stacking the discounts for me all day today, aren't they supposed to go over 30% when in the cart together?

    I don't see anything on the sale page to indicate that you get any additional discount on today's new releases. While there sometimes is an additional discount for 2 or more it isn't always the case.

    I've probably gotten too spoiled with sales, it says discounts (40/50/60%) don't apply to new releases so I guess it's 30% for them.

    Just tried to buy a GC with the latest flash sale, using Paypal.  It rerurned to Daz with 'there was an error with your transaction', and email from Paypal saying 'one of your payments is pending' - As part of our security measures, we review certain payments more closely to ensure our platform is being used properly and to minimize the potential risk for us and our customers. One of the payments that you sent is currently being reviewed. We are working to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Last time I had an issue with Daz/Paypal, it took Daz a month to resolve, so that probably just put a BIG stop to my spending here again.

    I REALLY should have learned my lesson by now with this site.

    You should have learned you lesson with Paypal.  I've never had an issue with Daz using a CC.  They're like using the ayatollah as payment processor.

    Well I had never had an issue with buying GCs with paypal here until August this year.  After others had reported success on the new sales config, I bought a smallish one ok, and so with the flash sale 30% off, what could possibly go wrong?

    You are probably correct, but given the recent complaints about Daz storing CC info unannounced, and latest with Daz displayingCC expiry date with last 4 digits in orders  reported by Genaris a couple of pages back, I will not use my CC here.

    I have used my CC several times. While initially yes there was a glitch and the system was saving the information contrary to our directives, that issue appears to have been addressed. At any rate it's easy enough to check the Payment page and delete it if need be.

     Yes, this is a PAYPAL thing, not Daz. I had this happen to me, and Paypal caused me to lose a cartfull of deals because they blocked the transaction for "review."   I was angry that Paypal did not communicate or elaborate on this, even when I emailed and so went through the wringer to speak to human being at Paypal.  The person said basically, they're required to do reviews by law; pertaining to National Security.  I explained that I shopped at DAZ3d.com via Paypal for LITERALLY YEARS, sometimes or often even with daily transactions at Daz via Paypal  so how could such a transaction suddenly be problematic or suspect, especially since Daz is in Utah, not say, Russia or China or someplace outside the USA.  The Paypal rep wouldn't provide a reason my transaction had been blocked and was not particularly friendly, and instead  was very dismissive that my transaction had been blocked (and caused me to lose a cartfull of items at special deals).  "National security, I don't have to explain further to you," she said.  I asked if her supervisor or someone higher up could provide an explanation for my transaction being blocked, and she told me bluntly "no one here can or will tell you that, have a good day," and hung up on me.   I EMPTIED & STOPPED USING PAYPAL after that and frankly that's been a PITA but I've stuck with it.  Paypal did not feel they needed to answer to me, the customer, for their actions with my accounts & money, and I vehemently disagree.  You can complain like I did to them and try to wrangle an explanation or even a simple apology and who knows, maybe you'll get somewhere in that, but I didn't.  I keep thinking that after the nearly 2 years of NO ACTIVITY MONTH AFTER MONTH (whereas before my boycott I was using Paypal daily and sometimes multiple times daily month in, month out for years) that Paypal might write or call wondering, but... uh, no.  :)

    The only apology you'll ever really get from a larger company is the "we're sorry you're weird and got upset for some reason" non apology that usually makes things feel worse. So that's one good thing at least!!  laugh​

    NOT TEOTWAWKI, or anything, but in the spirit of FYI, on today's promo page https://www.daz3d.com/are-you-ready-for-octane ;NO PRODUCT NAMES show up on the DEB new releases.  The thumbnails show, the price info is showing in the white space at thumbnail bottom along with the little grey icons/symbols, but whre product name should be is just white blank space.  I have refreshed, closed & reopened page *several times* and still...

    I'm not complaining exactly, but I seem to be getting all the banners for everything when I probably shouldn't. As I actually shouldn't they usually never actually work, which might make some people dissapointed.

    "To thank you for being a loyal Genesis 8 Bundle Collector, we're offering you... Because you own some of the products in the Cybercharged Bundle, we're offering you..."

    I own about 4 bundles total, and zero items from the Cybercharged bundle. cheeky

    Maybe, but can you get it to really give you 75% off? I haven't found the magic combination to do that.

    I think Nath was being sarcastic - because (according to their screengrab) they already own all the items from the bundle. :)

  • Well, as long as the bundle collector discount applies. Which it does not, at least for me.

    Yes, it does go down to $7.88 with https://www.daz3d.com/niko-8-cyber-funk-bundle in the cart (and probably with the PC items as well)

    Hmm. Not for me. I even added another new release to trigger it, but it still doesn't work.

    On another note, is it just me or do the doughnuts in the https://www.daz3d.com/z-police-props-and-poses-for-genesis-8 really look like they're straight from Blender Guru's tutorial? I've done that tutorial, I can make those myself (and I already own too much similar stuff from the rest of the set).

    Oh, just checked, they changed the message for me. I now only get an extra 30% discount on the Niko-8 bundle. Sorry, Niko, you're out.... too little value for that price.

    I'm getting the proper discounts for the Niko 8 bundles, but not getting the additional 10% off  for buying a Featured Artist item, in this case an Ensary item.

    Edit: additional 10% off Niko 8 new releases and 30% off Featured Artist items

    What! They changed my message, too. Is there any sale they can EVER deliver as advertised? I emptied the cart and I'm disgusted.

    Wish Niko 8 had come out during the PC sale - would have bought him then. But not straight after a big sale like that when the money is gone. LOL

    Yeah, I got that "offer" and own all the items too.  One would have thought that, after all of the hype and horrific introduction, the new store software would at least be able to fix some of the old store's long running problems...

  • NathNath Posts: 2,954

    On Nico's Product Library page there's a line in the fold-out description: For additional savings, check out Niko 8 Starter Bundle and Niko 8 Pro Bundle.

    Are these yet to come or is this a cut-and-paste of old text error?

    I see both offers. The one for 75% is for the CyberCharged and the 30% is for the CyberFunk bundle. They're in your messages. Mind you, I hadn't looked at first either.

    Speaking of value... YMMV, but for me these bundles Daz keeps doing that are named for MALE CHARS & ostensibly are MALE bundles, but have some of the products be FEMALE CHARS, MAKEUPS  OR OUTFITS really gets tiring. If I wanted to buy female characters, outfits and makeups, I'd do something cuhrazy like buy...a female bundle!    I'd like to see male bundles that are ONLY male content.   That would have VALUE FOR ME.  :)

    na.  I was offered an additional 75% the Niko 8 Supercharge Bundle becaused I already owned all but two items in the bundle.  Ironically, all of the items in the bundle are so old they are drastically discounted.  Buy the bundled items ala carte and the total is only $30.58!

    No, stop keep saying that. There is only one message at least in my inbox and I got first 75% and now I have only 30% banner. This is perfect example how to ruin your reputation. Good job daz!
