    Orange banners for the Bonnie bundles are gone already?

    I was short of time yesterday and not interested in the character. But today I might have taken a closer look at the other bundle items to see if a purchase might be worthwhile anyway... except that the orange is banner is gone, and thus Daz has guaranteed that I will *not* buy the bundles.

    Daz marketing seems to be so wrapped up in the idea of trying to condition customers to make impulse purchases that they're actually making shopping here increasingly less convenient and less attractive. I find that I'm spending far less time even considering anything but the deepest discounts and clearance sales, simply because I'm tired of the hassle lately.

    Mine is gone too. It doesn't seem right for a major character bundle that is still otherwise on special offers. Maybe a nice mod would please enquire as to whether or not this was intentional. 

    Any word on why the orange banner for discounts on the Bonnie 8.1 bundles disappeared and whether it was intentional? 

    I asked and yes, I'm afraid it was intentional.

    Thanks Richard. It seems a bit odd to pull it so soon; but that is DAZ's perogative. It may cost them sales.

    Didn't the same happen with Jinx Jones' Mega Bundle? Gone after one day.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,167

    it mainly buy right away. buit there have been times where an even better deal would show up later, so its a guessing game all the time. Wait or pull the trigger and buy it. I've even gotten banners for stuff a day or two later after release.

    Um, is anybody else getting a weird front page?  Everything is moved over to the left, and there is no link to any sales pages, at least for me.  Rather odd.

    Edit:  What I mean is the shop page, not the front page.  I can't see any sales pages links at all, just a white space.

    Thanks for the link. 

    However, hopefully a mod will report that it is missing on the main shop page.

    I've contacted Daz about the storefront,

  • Rod Wise DriggoRod Wise Driggo Posts: 2,229

    Talking about free items:

    Since the PA sale started there was not a single free item of the day I did not own already. Wish they would not recycle only older stuff for those freebies. Not talking about the buy-ins.
    And with all those free Cookie addons I wonder if Cookie will be a Freebie one day as I not intend to buy her ;-)

    Apart from that nice that we get a gift card without buy-in although I don't have money left to make use. Let's see if I might invest some of the store credit I have left. Eying the Monsters and Wheels bundle but cannot make myself buy it for having already three of the items from the bundle. Might better wait for a "complete your bundle" deal.

  • Fae3DFae3D Posts: 2,627

    Ok, in case anybody was wondering, you CAN use your PC coupon for the %60 off items.  I know that should go without saying, but I've tried using my coupon on several sales lately and it didn't work.

    I just got the Chihuahua and it's texture expansion together for $13.96 using my coupon, which is a STEAL for AM products!  Just wanted to give a heads up ^_^

    I've gotten tired of complaining about the DAZ store. Given that Renderosity handles just as much new product on a daily basis and does things DAZ buyers can only dream of like integrated 3D spinarounds, all with a fraction of the glitches, it's clearly not an impossible task to make something like this work and work well.  However, after years and years of the DAZ store being broken and/or filled with incorrect promotional text on a near daily basis, I've pretty much given up on DAZ ever finding that kind of initiative.

    Ditto.  And, needless to say, I have all the items in the V4-G8 probundles, as I own all of the Pro Bundles.  My guess is that DAZ must estimate that the average new DAZ customer is only here for few years before they wander off after some other new shiney, so the sales seem to be targeted primarily at newbies and they keep giving away the same items over and over.  Sucks for those of us who've been here a while and amassed large catalogs but, hey, DAZ has already got our money for that.

    Glad to have the Gift Card Sale, but there's a bit of DAZ maths weirdness going on. If I add a $500 dollar gift card to the cart, it costs $400.01 Add a $499.99 one and it costs $400. 20% off $500 is a $100 saving, yet a penny gets deducted. Someone at Daz should read "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Clifford Stoll where he records the discovery of a computer hack at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The initial clue - the odd penny error in transactions........

    Yeah, I see the same. That extra penny is going in someone's pocket. I know it's just a penny, but is it on every transaction? Does everyone calculate their totals to the penny? There used to always be a discrepancy of up to three cents between the cart and the price charged. That went away with the new store last year, but obviously something has changed. Standard financial calculations used to be done to 10 decimal places (for $ and ¢), if not more nowadays because of those crazy crypto currency values.

    So, what's going on with EmmaAndJordi? The only items left in the store are Daz Originals. Did they get bought out, or leave? I seem to remember them being excluded from a sale earlier this week, or maybe last week, so someone knew something...

    I remember a movie, I think with Richard Pryor, in which he took advantage of a programming error that was one penny.  The millions of pennies didn't go into anyone's accounts and the bank didn't show them, either.  So he collected them.  Eventually got caught.  It was a funny movie.  Not sure, it may have been Brewster's Millions. Nope, just looked that up and it's not the one I was thinking about.

    Wow, thanks for the heads up. I could not find my wishlisted G8M items which are not DO. I hope it's just a glitch, not because they are among the more customer friendly (or outspoken?) PAs here.

    EDIT TO ADD: the product page URLs of my purchased non DO EmmaAndJordi products no longer exist. DAZ, you have to keep my purchased EJ items in my account, or I will ask you to refund
