The best I can manage is 23.59% off, with Daz rounding it up to say that it's 24%, when it actually isn't.
This constant feeling that I'm being nickle and dimed in every corner of the store isn't nice.
I don't think this is misleading, intentionally or otherwise. They were left with a fractional discount: 15% + an additional 10% (meaning 10% of the remaining 85%, or 8.5%) = 23.5%. For advertising purposes they rounded up to 24%. Not unreasonable. They told you exactly how the discount was derived. I have seen others comment on unexpected rounding in their purchases, which I can't comment on. But in this case nothing appeared to be hidden or disguised with the intent to deceive.
Have to agree here, this is being pedantic. The stacking of discounts is informed.
It's not the stacking of discounts.
It's the claim, they are claiming "24% off" when it is totally impossible to achieve 24% off.
Say "Get over 23% off a Gift Card" and you can use the exact same maths and put a truthful statement on the website.
Actually, the exact wording is "UP TO 24% off", which means that is the ceiling, not the average.
So, I'm not sure if this is related to the recent issues as detailed earlier, but a huge chunk of the DAZ store catalog is broken from the filters. For instance, filtering for DAZ Original and G3F only gives me *three to four* pages of content. Using alternate browsers with no plugins reproduces the same result.
However, it seems like each of the products still exists and filtering for the specific artist shows more products, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
I've mentioned it a couple of times, but the silence was deafeneing.
I have items from the current FLASH SALE and the shopping CART page is now giving me a warning of how many minutes left until the flash sale EXPIRES.
Huh, I'm not seeing that on the iPad. Or maybe it's due to timezones? Is anybody else getting this on a mobile device?
Edit: Just switched to Firefox, I'm also not getting the warning there.
The warning might not kick in until about an hour before the offer expires. There is different flash sale on now, expires about 2 hours from now (if my DAZ time zone math is right). I got the last one giving the 5 pm expiry time as well. I had just signed on, and noticed the FLASH SALE, started loading and checked balance in the cart and got notified I had 45 minutes left. I'm actually curious to see if this current FLASH SALE will do the same thing.

I don't get it either in Firefox on Window 10 (the only place I've looked). Maybe it is part of their experimentation where different people see different cart features. Recently some people lost the Clear Cart button; others still had it.

It's not the first time this has happened to the store either. I'm mostly lurking the forums and such these days, but I felt that this was enough of a problem for me to speak up on because it's directly affecting my ability to find products to buy.
Like, quite literally, I want to give them my money but I can't because of this issue.

I didn't see it earlier when there was more time left; but now I see it. It looks like it kicks in when there is less than hour left. Nice feature. Thanks DAZ
I think 2 of the 3 weekly freebies are wrong? The Seagrass and Megapack 2 are from last week.
So is the Fashion Pose set!
Dana
Oh strange, I don't see the Fashion Pose set, I see some new Perfume Bottles as the first free item. Are you seeing the Seagrass and Megapack 2 as well, or something different?
A LOT of the "Selected Fantastic Items" are also in the $1.99 PC For a day sale. You can see the $1.99 prices when you go into the Selected Items Sale page. Was that intended?
I got a banner for Pablo 8.1 that dropped the price to 30.58. I added my PlatClub discount and it only takes $5 off (25.48).
Pablo is the only thing in the cart, as it goes even more weird with more items!
The Vintage Perfume bottles are new today. The seagrass underwater meadows and the Mega Pack 02 were there on 6th October. If the Vintage Perfume bottles are new today, shouldn't the other two be new ones today also? There has been three new ones since sale started, which is why people are enquiring.

This is a cool update to the Daz Shopping Cart...
I have items from the current FLASH SALE and the shopping CART page is now giving me a warning of how many minutes left until the flash sale EXPIRES.
Indeed! Very useful
Now, please add that to the front page promo too!
Was just coming here to say that I appreciate the new cart countdown. Thanks, DAZ.
Filtering the current flash sale by Daz Originals doesn't work, even though there are quite a few Daz Originals...

So Dimensiontheory's Eyeray for Genesis 3 isn't in the flash sale, guess this is intented ?

His other eye stuff is....

Wow, I can get the items I didn't want at 1.99 for just 3.50 if I get the bundle. How can I resist!
On a serious note, the Pablo add-ons and the other debuts are in the wrong sections.

Reporting, although you do get a higher discount with the two Pable add-ons in your cart.
Can't keep track all what's supposed to be what.
This happened like the temple which ended up becoming free so is this item to become free soon too?
https://www.daz3d.com/old-library
Enquiring minds want to know ;-)
Yeah, the discount works fine, they're just shown in the wrong sections.
No, it is not free.
Any word on the missing PC Weekly Freebies yet?
Probably not. Jack said the temple was supposed to be the monthly freebie.
Okay thank you, I like libraries :-)
Okay thank you. Then I shall stop waiting to see if that happens ;-)

I will inquire, but it looks like those three are the ones they have listed (I don't see the poses).
The three "new" freebies as showing on teh sale page are:
