I selected a number of items from Labor day sale mega fast grab yesterday that were in my cart ready to go this morning.Those items were in my cart this morning at increased prices from what they were yesterday They were mega fast grab items.There was not indication those items would be on sale yesterday only.
Today the items were still in my cart.I planned to finish off the purchase after I had more time to review the sale.The nine items I selected were increased in price. Fast grab items often spend days in fast grab, so why would we think otherwise during a big sale?
There is even cooment on the sale about slideshow - Check back daily & get up to ,,,50% off new releases, 60% off featured artists catalogs, 75% off Mega Fast Grab. I do not recall seeing anything about fast grab being for one day only. Just a labor day weekend sale. If I had known, I would have closed the cart out last night.
I removed the items from the cart. I wish I had thought to post first.
Daz3d should put yesterdays Mega Fast Grab selection back up, along with todays if they like. I'm not interested in todays fast grab.

Mega fast grab changes every day.
Where does it say that? please.
Although they're not under this banner, they are still called fastgrabs:
It says "updated daily".
On the rolling banner. "check back daily to get ........."
But as a rule of thumb, if you see a great sale, keep in mind that it may even only be a mistake! And as such, will be corrected without notice. So whenever you see something you don't want to miss, go, go go! Time is your enemy! :)
The fast grab image above refers to regular daily business, and still those items haven't changed for days. That is not adequate explanation.
Where does it say...TODAY ONLY.
You guys are defending a screw up. My cart still has $130 in it. I don't need that many items. I guess I will put my money where my complaint is and buy just what I need. I only need couple things. I wanted the 21 items I selected and I thought it was a nice sale for daz3d. I still have to spend the extra money of course to buy something I don't want to get something I do want at discount...I can get the total down to around $40.
During sales I believe most of daz3d purchasers don' t have immediate need for all the items they buy. They try to save some money anticipating use of the items.
Odds are fairly good though, that there will be at least one catch up sale for the PA festival that is going on now and you can always hope that will include the Mega Fast Grabs too. But if not, as the saying goes, "There will always be another sale".
That's the regular Fast Grab, and it lies. Those items haven't changed in at least a week.
As for Fast Grab in general... well, the name does sort of suggest that you should grab it fast before it goes away.
They change daily on weekdays, the Friday items don't change over the weekend (and this is a 3-day weekend).
PA sale page, it says "New selection everyday": http://www.daz3d.com/pa-sale-2016
It is a sorry state to be in, isn't it?
I realize there will be other sales in the future, equal or better than this one..
Thanks to all who responded. I honestly do appreciate your input and have no hard feelings..
I have to remind myself. I am buying from the artists.
There are many parallels -- when I buy a car I ususally hate buying the car from a half-honest dealer, but I buy the car because that is how the car company distributes.
I was not referring the the regular fast grab, I was referring to the Mega Fast Grab, as featured in the PA sale rolling bannr icon.I am a fast grab enthusiast in this sale, and have been checking every day, and every day it has changed, and I have found even more stuff to buy. Some stay the same, some don't, but basically as the PA sale is normally a day to day sale, with new items every day, unless there is a catch up day, then you should check each day and check out before the end of the day. It doesn't actually say Today only I have to admit but if you go to the mega fast grab section it does say "September 5 Mega Fast Grab" Yesterday it would have said September 4th.
Come on... since when do we have to read everything like a lawyer.
It says "New selection everyday" on the sale page though. They should add this in the rolling banner too IMO, but for once it was clearly stated.
Let us get this in perspective... New Selection everyday... Look at the Artists boxes below the Mega Fast Grab. New boxes of artists "ARE ADDED TO" the previous days selection of artists.
None of the artists boxes have been removed during the sale.
So, we have to separate things they say or don't say for clarity. LOL
There is nothing wrong with my thinking. Daz3d marketing should be more careful to explain. They spend alot of time on the graphics. Why don't they take more time preparing their verbiage? Anyone reading this has probably had issues buying from Daz3d based on mis-information or mis-understanding from their sales information.
I started playing, er... working... with Daz Studio two years ago. I started buying "stuff" in the midst of a PA Festival sale with no idea it was a special sale, or that punch sales weren't the norm. Then the punches went away and the PC Anniversary sale started, confusing me even further. I remember being very upset when I went to checkout and nearly everything in my cart had jumped up in price, yet the sale prices were still being shown on the website! I contacted Customer Service and "demanded" they honor the 80% discounts that were still showing when I tried to checkout. And they did. And a couple days later, during the Catch-up sale, everything in that order was back at the 80% discount... including some items that weren't at 80% when I put them in my cart. (I didn't know, back then, about DAZ's 30-day return policy, and I didn't know if I contacted CS, that they'd refund the difference...)
Truth be told, I'm a little embarrassed now by my knee-jerk reaction then. (My apologies to anyone in CS that might have been offended... though more likely, they had a good laugh at the "newbie" who hadn't yet learned, "there will always be another sale...")
So as someone who's been in your shoes, so to speak, I'd just like to point out... The DAZ community has it's own culture, and like any culture, there are phrases that mean specific things here that might be confusing to newcomers, but that we who have been around a while take for granted. "Fast Grab" is one of them. Long before my time here, Fast Grab items didn't expire according to a date. The artist, (I assume,) would set the number of sales for the item and when that number was reached, the item would disappear from the page. I've actually seen items disappear from Fast Grab after a few hours. Not often, but it does happen. And apparently, Fast Grab is a feature DAZ has to manually change as items only change on days DAZ is in the office.
I'm sorry you missed out. But it's quite possible the same items will be in the Mega Fast Grab again, before the end of the sale.
Also keep in mind, between the major sales, DAZ does some incredible offers. Some of the DO (Daz Originals) items in the Mega Fast Grab were part of the $4 sale a couple months back. (I got Aiko 4 and Hiro 4 together in the Anime Manga Enthusiast Bundle for less than $3, with other discounts in play.) I was able to pick up the V7 HD Add-On for free with purchase, several months ago. A couple months back, I got the V7 Starter Bundle free with purchase... If one is not in a hurry for any particular product, mind-boggling deals are to be had...
One more thing... Welcome to DAZ!
They did not change yesterday.
Regular fast grab doesn't change daily. It changes once every 2-4 days from what I've seen (I've been checking it every day for months).
It usually changes every weekday. Sometimes not, mostly during holidays and when there are some special sales going on.
Catch up sale already lol, I checked out twice yesterday because I wanted the fennec fox but it was off sale them decided I wanted the wet bundle later in the day, I was gonna check out with them at the same time, I know I could probably put in a support ticket but it's only for like a dollar and change
