    I'm thoroughly confused now. If I have a purple banner for 20%, plus both bundles and two addons in the cart, what should the price for each bundle be?

    In theory they should be $42 (a purple banner for each bundle, plus the text for today's deal) less 20% off for both bundles bought together =$34.  But that appears to not be working so I do not know what the price is supposed to be with all promotions factored in......

    ....Adding the Super villians Bundle Changes the price to....

    Absolutely no change - the price of the Sukai 8 bundle remains $42.77, same price as before the villians bundle.

    What I expect is for the math to work according to the adverstised sale:

    "

    TODAYS DEALS

     

    Buy Sukai 8 Superhero Bundle & Villain Horde Bundle to get an EXTRA 20% OFF them
    PLUS $10 In Store Credit


     

    Buy Sukai 8 Superhero Bundle with 2 or more Add-On Items to get an EXTRA 20% OFF them & Featured Artist Stores,
    PLUS $20** in Store Credit"

    Which = both bundles should drop an additinal 20% off in price, which is not working as advertised so far.

    Yeah, I'm really getting fed up with the DAZ store and this sale already.

    The discount being given for buying two add-ons is quite a bit more than the advertised 20% - the price for Sukai jumps from $66.83 to $42.77.

    But the discount on Sukai for buying both bundles is nonfunctional.

    HOWEVER, as I attempted to demonstrate, the totals happen to come out very close anyway, so one shouldn't expect a much larger discount even after a fix, unless Daz changes the discounts to give more than currently advertised (but that would likely disadvantage those who bought it yesterday).

    For what it's worth, I do agree that the store should have been configured correctly from the get-go.

    Sales issues aside, I just want to say thank you to Daz and all the PAs, as I think they did a superb job on the Sukai 8 Superhero Bundle and the Villain Horde Bundles! It's a really great combination of characters, outfits, etc. for those of us who like Asian, Cyber, Sci-Fi, and Superhero content.  I don't have any complaints about these bundles, other than we could have had a few more choices with the Add-Ons. Also, thanks to Daz management for sweetening the deal with the store credit offers!

    All of the 'normal' discounts for the Sukai 8 bundle produce $80.20 - remember that its base price is $190.95.

     

    First you get another 20% off for the purple banner - that's $64.16.

     

    Then you get another 20% off for buying it with two add-ons - that's $51.33.

     

    Then you get another 20% off for buying it with the Villain Horde bundle - that's $41.06.

     

    So "$42" (which is what some of you are saying) is right on target.

     

    The Villain Horde bundle is $63.40 after 'normal' discounts - its base price is $150.95.

     

    First you get another 20% off for the purple banner - that's $50.72.

     

    Then you get another 20% off for buying it with the Sukai 8 bundle - that's $40.58.

     

    Again, that's right around what's being said. There isn't a third 20% discount for the Villain Horde bundle - only for the Sukai 8 bundle and its add-ons.

     

    Honestly, you guys seem to be expecting to get a much better price than people who bought Sukai yesterday - why would Daz do that? That'd be a surefire way to irritate all of those people.

    $63.40 "normal"discount is 40% from new release + 30% from PC. But you forget that adding Sukai bundle (that is considered a new release) you start at 50% discount for new releases(2+) then 30% from PC+, then banners and promos. Because of similar numbers and because there are no actual new debut release people think are just getting "almost" the advertised EXTRA 20% from buying both (although in a single bundle), when they are actually NOT getting it AT ALL because is not working. Put both bundle in the cart without any addons and you will see it is simply not working.

    In math, the is no "very close". If you want to demostrate you need solid numbers. I do agree about the disadvantage for those who bought it yesterday if today worked as advertised.

    And that is the key. There is no statement in promo page for the promotions not stacking. There was a comment from a mod about it and was likely a wrong guess as the numbers provided by many actually demostrated do not even match that line.

    Agreed, but it wasn't a mathematical proof, and I wasn't intending to say that current prices were precisely correct (obviously they aren't), but instead that they were already close to what was being advertised, and that expectations should be tempered. I should have made that more clear in the first post.

    The extra 10% discount for buying two new releases - that could be a thing. Doubt it stacks with the other offers, but who knows. Otherwise, I think I did account for the relevant discounts? I'll be interested to see how this all shakes out later today.

    now i finally noticed why neither the villian bundle or the hero bundle are getting the 90% discount daz original as the others products are getting in they interactive licenses???, they where not supposed to get a 90% as everything else due to the interactive license sales?

    So... Adding Bullets Blades and Bikes takes the price of the Sukai bundle down from $80.20 in cart to $66.83... that's neither neither 10% nor 20% nor 30% nor 10-then-20% nor 20-then-10%... And adding SY Suits takes it down to $42.77 again - way more than the advertised 20% (or 20-then-20% with purple banner) for that combo. It doesn't seem like "the math works" now either. What a mess.

    Edit: Puzzled it out on a coffee break towards the end of my shift. It's good to delve into these things to better understand similar future sales, but really, customers shouldn't have to - if Daz wants to run crazy stacking promos, Daz personnel really should explain exactly how each offer is supposed to work.

    FYI, My-Flash stacks with the discounts on the Edie 8 Starter Bundle and Toon Generations Mega Bundle (but not with the Darcy 8 Starter Bundle.) Basically it seems to stack with discounts as long as the item is on that list and the discount is less than 70%.

What a mess.

    Ignore "Todays Deals" for a moment… Any "featured" product in the PA Festival has a base discount of 40%. But if you add a second featured product to the cart, that discount becomes 50%. It doesn't matter if the product is Debut New, Still New, Featured Artists, or Special Items. If the products are also Daz Originals, (like the products you mentioned above,) there is also the 30% member discount that stacks.

    Okay, now add in that second Addon for Sukai 8, and you'll see additional discounts stack from the offer in Todays Deal, and those will stack with the base discount that has bumped up to 50% because you have two or more in the cart. Add in the Villain Horde bundle and see even more discounts stack with the items in your cart. And then there is the Store Credit that will be added to your account in a day or so.

    (I suspect the Store Credit from the offers does not stack; that you'll see either $10 or $20, depend on which offer you take advantage of.)

    Looks like I bought the bundles too early, at $42 each with the purple banners plus 2 add-one. Could someone who hasn't bought them yet do a screenshot of these 4 items for me so I can submit a ticket?  Thanks in advance!  I paid $102, but it should be $16 less or so I think.

    You can add stuff to the cart after you've already bought it - just click the "purchased" button on the product's store page and it will add it to the cart again. You can then do a screen capture of what the cart comes up to.

    @L'Adair: Thanks. Before I read your post, I was just wondering if the 50% might replace the 40% - for whatever reason I was thinking it was the more typical (for Daz) "extra 10% discount". I'll plug that in later and see what comes out. Headed to work in a few minutes, so no more time for "fun with Daz math" until the morning.

    3rd day and nothing regarding interactive license being US$50 instead of US$5?
    The interactive licese discount for Daz Originals is still up and Sukai/Villan Bundles artist are labled as Daz Originals.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,260

    ...OK "My-Fast" changed to "My-Flash" and the discount is 60% instead of 70%   Figured best to cut my losses and use it today before the discount drops further or disappears.

    OK, I'll bite: what is the Walk the Plank Pirate Bundle required for in the Sidekick Bundle? Seems odd to require a whole bundle.

    Am I the only one confused by the way the sales are presented at the moment?

    There is nothing in the Milton Sidekick Bundle: https://www.daz3d.com/milton-the-sidekick-bundle

    They list the items in the "what's included" section, but since they're not showing up anywhere other than that text and there is no "This product includes the following products", I don't think they're actually included properly. Another tell-tail sign of them not having actually added the items to the bundle is that the "Install Types" only lists Daz Central, and we know that just means there IS no install types added.

    Feels like the sale has shuddered to a grinding halt. Nothing special today - no fast grab, no "2.99 if bought with a new release"...just normal releases.

    Great!

    (And maybe point out to the people who are responsible for banner texts that it's spelled VILLAIN, not VILLIAN... or at least to spell it wrong consistently wink devil)

    May we have you report that there are no downloads for the Milton bundle?
