Asian Yummy Sale discounts inconsistent as hell

Some examples (I have PC, BTW) if I have the following in my sales cart:

Genesis 2 Female Morphs Bundle: 9.42
Aiko 6: 19.58
Gia 6: 11.42
Xiao Mei Bundle: 16.81

Genesis 2 Female Morphs Bundle: 8.17
Aiko 6: 19.58
Gia 6: 9.90
DA Nunchuck Pose Set for Lee 6: 7.67

The bonus freebies act weird, too.
What gives?

Maybe you guys shouldn't do the whole gateway discount stuff if it's going to do this all the time... Or at least minimize the conditions, because you guys are going to lose money in more ways than one (not only driving customers away, but I'm pretty sure awhile back I got an insane discount that was never intended, of like-- 95% off my entire purchase or all but one product which was 40% off because of the gateway stacking + PC discount + V4/M4 sale-- the gateway items stacked with V4/M4 sale items and vice-versa.)

    What, am I the only one experiencing this problem?

    Guess I am. Well then I guess it'll never be fixed since I'm the only one..

    No the 95% off had nothing to do with the pc+, it was a glitch they hadn't noticed. You were getting 80% off selected V4/M4 items with a new item in the cart. Except those items were also already 80% off...

    Are you including your 30% discount for being a PC member in your calaculations? The Xiao mei bundle is causing cart weirdness for me also. In general if the cart weirdness is in your favour perhaps it's idea to buy it before you report it.

    What's the problem ? Just do the math. It's how DAZ wants sales and discounts to work. No simple, plain rules, but confusing customers to the max so that they give up and stop questioning prices and discounts. Good customers don't think, they buy.

    I just checked your examples and they are perfectly fine. Just take the 30% PC discount, stack another 30% intro discount for items it applies to, add 45% discount for selection of items that are in another sale but only if you have one specific item in cart, and then add another discount that kicks in after that and is split on some but not all items (this one is that makes your cart looking inconsistent, but really, it isn't).

    And yes, it will get exactly your numbers then. DAZ wants to add in some math fun for people and obviously wants sales to work that way. If you don't understand, that's your fault, not theirs. And it isn't hard, really -.-

    Want another nice example how DAZ sales work ? Put Tea Cup Fairy Bundle into your cart. PC discount is 30%. Intro discount is a stacking 30%. Still want a better price for that one ? Easy. Add Razor Thorn Bundle that gives you another stacking 20% on Tea Cup Fairy bundle. But wait, discount will increase to 50% if you add Xiao Mei Bundle too. Nice. That said, the Xiao Mei will give you another stacking 20% discount on Razor Thorne Bundle too. Even better. Now with the 30% PC discount and stacking 30% intro discount on Xiao Mei Bundle you simply need to add Lee 6 Pro Bundle (or maybe only Lee6) so that you get the extra 30% stacking discount on the Xiao Mei Bundle. After that don't forget to add the Aiko 6 or its bundle for another f***ing 20% discount on Lee 6 in your cart. It's that simple, really. Everyone can understand easily. Ahh, and don't question the prices in your cart, with specific combinations there kicks in another discount from another sale that is split on some items but not on all, but that's how it should. Trust me ^^

    That was step one, now you are ready for second step, specifically Freebies. Some freebies go with some other items in your cart, so ... you probably understand the plan ? That's part of the game named 'Shopping fun with DAZ'. They still think people like it. Have fun. -.-

    ^^Unfortunately, it is not working that way. And the freebiues fluctuate from 98% off to 50% off depending on what additional items I have in my cart.

    Also, why would the Lee Nunchaku give me a better discount on Gia 6 than the Xiao Mei bundle?

    Oh, it did work exactly like that when writing down the lines, but might have changed since, as there are new sales and conversion back to PC meanwhile.

    On the other hand - why questioning sales tactics as long as the discounts you might find are better than what was advertised before ? You know what they say.. the early bird.. ^^

    ^^Because usually they're not, and in this case it's impossible to play around and see how good a discount I can get from the sale because it's inconsistent. Though hopefully it'll still be around tomorrow since I can't afford it this month, anyway.

    And really, if I had to choose between an 80~96% exploit discount and a 50-65% discount that isn't glitched out, I'm not sure which one I'd prefer.

    And, it really doesn't help matters that nothing on the promo pages mention whether anything stacks with one exception.
