That is most likely the issue.
Sorry to complalin, but if you're going to ask people to buy three of something to get a discount or something free, and one of the items is a bundle, then that should count as the number of items contained within, not one item.
This is very true.
I second this. Thank you.
I have bought some items in the store today but they fail to download using DIM, namely:
Other products I have bought within the same basket work fine. Is there any issue with these files on the server?
Thanks!
The issue of bundles being the equivalent of one item for money off something else is common practice on the Daz site and I agree it can be a bit frustrating however I’m sure the Daz argument will be that you are already getting the bundled items at a discount compared to their individual prices so giving you the extra money off something else it a double discount.
Taking the current deal buying the bundle will cost you $47.57 and will net you $10 of freebies.
Buying the individual items in the bundle will cost $67.78 and get you $50 of freebies.
So for an additional spend of $20.21 you get an additional $40 of freebies, however you have paid $20.21 extra to get the $40 so in fact it’s kind of the equivalent of an extra $19.79 of freebies.
Now you could but the bundle and two extra items to get the $50 of freebies but the two cheapest items not in the bundle come to $23.74, so this means you have to spend $71.31 to get $50 of freebies, so the extra $40 of freebies minus the extra $23.74 you had to spend means you’re actually getting an additional $16.26 of freebies but you are getting two extra items, so it kind of and extra $40 of freebies, but only if you want the extra items.
Of course if you didn’t but the two cheapest items not in the bundle you would be ‘worse off’ but you might have something you want more, the two most expensive items outside of the bundle come to $31.44 which again gets you the extra $40 of freebies but taking into account your extra spend, it’s the equivalent of an extra $8.56 of freebies but again you get two extra items.
Now of course you may want more than three items, in which case you could buy the bundle and get $10 of freebies and your other three items and get another $50 of freebies meaning you get $60 of freebies in total for a minimum spend of $85.28 which is an additional spend of $37.71 to get an additional $50 of freebies or the equivalent of $12.29.
But, if you bought a gift card during the last gift card sale at 10% off, or 15% off if you bough a new item (big card, cheap PC+ item is the way to go), the above is Daz Credit not actual money so the values are different again as you have to allow for the initial discount amount, taking into account that for international customers there is the fluctuating exchange rate, foreign currency banking fees and maybe even extra tax/import duty.
All of this means, Daz maths is confusing, and by the time you have finished working your way though this the offer will probably have ended so you’ve saved some money to not spend on the next great offer you can’t understand.

EAOE
Maybe the server is having errors. I am unable to to download these using DIM:
Alien Apocalypse - The Factory
Kitsune Mech Armor for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Females
Modular Parquet - Iray Shaders
Also several others took several tries
UPDATE: I have now finally been able to download the above items. Maybe somebody finally kicked the server.
This new item by KindredArts is still showing up in the 60% BYOB Featured Artist Category:

Nice flash sale except there is nothing in it that I don't already own. I guess I buy too much.
Welcome to the club
Same here, for most. I painstakingly clicked on every item to see if it was purchased or not. I wish the owned/download icon would display on individual items show cased in a bundle. Anyhow, I did 'buy' them for 0.00 just to show them as owned because I'm sick of seeing bundles "I don't own" yet I own every item in the bundle. Now those show purchased. That said I did find three where I owned most and the deal was truly tremendous.
The *Free* Daz Dog Related Items are all in the bundle you need to buy to get the free item. Wha-?
There's something wrong with today's sale. The 1 Daz Dog Related Item for FREE* you're supposed to get when buying the bundle are items that are in the bundle?
The free items offered with the dog bundle are just the same items that are in the bundle. Surely this is a mistake, since there is no advantage to owning things twice?
Edit: Sorry, seems like someone beat me to reporting this.
Finally you understand the Daz advertisement logic.....
"Because you've already collected some of the included dog Items, you'll get the bundle just for the price of the Items you don't own!"
I think this is probably the most idiotic thing I've ever read on this site.
Rerported.
Ok,guys, as far as we can see, it should have been buy the bundle and get 65% off the list of items listed for that discount on the promo page. The free items were at least a mistake in selection. They'll be removed till Daz gets in the morning to see about this.
I got that too, probably because I own the "free" Dog 8, but there's no discount additional discount on the bundle when it goes in the cart. So apparantly, if you own Dog 8, you get no additional discount and no free item?
As this person said, the carousel items are not in the selection you see when you click on the clearance items link. They do not show the clearance item discount in the cart either. Are they really supposed to be there?
I just put the bundle in and got a further discount as I had purchased some items already. Do you own some of the items? They would show those items dimmed out. The Daz Dog wouldn't count b/c it is 1)not part of the bundle, and 2) is a free item on the promo page.
The dog 8 is the only item I own, so if there's no discount on the bundle for that, then there is no incentive item for purchasing it. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat.
Now I remember some of those were in the $3.99 sales. Heh, besides the daily new promotion, I kind of look forward to see what kind of errors will be in the promotion page each day, which sometimes would be left unattended for several hours until DAZ employees come back to office. Maybe updating the daily promotion at midnight US time is not a good idea.
And the free-with-bundle-purchase error has been corrected. No free stuff with bundle purchase except Dog 8
ETA: Um... the top of the page says get up to 2 free dog items, so nope, it's still kinda incorrect.
Will let them know, thanks.
It kind of seems like it was more entertaining in the past. It seems like there were more glitches that favored the customer.
So, there's a sale that states...
but in the cart it looks like this
which shows that the usual 30% off for items being DAZ Originals isn't applied, without the sale stating that the 70% replaces the 30% and leading for the same price for PC+ and normal customers...
Is this DAZland's hidden attempt to get PC+ customers to refrain from keeping PC+? Would they prefer us to get the season pass instead? Or is it just lousy webpage programming once again? Who knows....
