Alfred Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I ordered the first week and I have not received it. The book first became available more than a month ago, so it sounds as though it got lost in the post. I think you should email affinityorders@serif.com and ask them to send you another copy.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hello, I was wondering if anyone, received their book yet? I ordered the first week and I have not received it. I don't mind waiting but I want to be sure nothing has gone wrong. If one of the staff take not to this, can you respond to me through my email if I should have received. Otherwise, I will continue to wait. Sorry to contact this way, I hunted for an avenue but really couldn't find an alternative. Thanks, (just can't wait to learn some new stuff) Atira You can email affinityorders@serif.com as described in the email order confirmation. They will be able to see if it has been dispatched, but as most are dispatched within 24 hours it probably has. After that we have no tracking unless it is going to a different country in which case we do get to know when it arrives in that destination country, but no more afaik.

Vic Sponge Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 A helpful reminder when the discount for the workbook would have been appreciated, rather than just saying for a limited time and leave people guessing. Responses to emails from customers would also be appreciated. I had an email yesterday saying my full-price book had been despatched. Excellent. However, my account said 'pending'. Then I get a message today saying my book has been despatched. Eh? Thought it already had been. Seems to be a lack of communication between marketing and website developers. Reading some other posts, it all seems a bit slapdash and amateurish, in stark contrast to the software itself. Hopefully, things will improve.

ivanl Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sorry if this was already posted, I want to learn more about embedded documents and how to create template files.

DivSmart Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I ordered it direct, but for some reason I am one of those countries you can't deliver to, even though it accepted the order and then had to go through refunding and back to square one. Oh well. <rant> So I am told by Serif that I could try Amazon, although, they could not get it to accept the order when they tried for me. Amazon accepts the order, but instead of paying 44.95 Euros + 9.95 Euros S & H, I now get to pay $49.99 + $4.98 + Ocean freight $30 + local delivery $10.00. So I now get to pay $94.97 for my Workbook by doing a global workaround all because you don't ship to my country. Plus, it will most likely be gridlocked with all the Christmas rush of store merchandise coming from the mainland. So I will most likely not get to see my much-needed and highly anticipated coffee table book (which will spend no time on the coffee table, btw), until maybe mid-January--if I am lucky. </rant> My point being... 54.95 Euro vs $94.97 with a late delivery. Maybe a rethink on warehousing and logistics. Finally, why not place some sample pages online so we can at least see the format? I don't anyone will bother to pirate a few random pages.

DivSmart Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Having a similar problem, but in my case I don't see Puerto Rico listed in the shipping options... Hi chepo1956, Try getting it shipped to Miami and pay a freight forwarder to San Juan. I can tell you my freight forwarder if it helps. PR is a free associated territory of US, so I am surprised. Wish you well. PS: I just rerouted mine to overnight air, as I can't wait.

The link that I posted was basically a file that shows an app icon in multiple sizes. You can edit an embedded file and it will be applied to all the various sized icons. The file also makes exporting all the various sizes simple. I wanted to learn more about how to set up a file like that.

DivSmart Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 You can order it from amazon...just got mine today. Had to pay taxes and duties though,..but it's worth it! :) You are so right avenson, So glad I ordered through Amazon.com. Their packaging is always sturdy, even if its a little overdone on non-fragile items, so I expect this in perfect condition.

DivSmart Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I finally got through to the store on a different browser, Safari on the Mac OS X 10.8.5 would not work. I ordered the book. I am in Canada, and should have the book by today if the DHL delivery folks are correct. The book cost me a total of $82.00 Canadian with shipping, duty and taxes. It was shipped from the UK through the United States then on to Canada, hence the ridiculous duty and taxes - it's a book, why the extra charges? I am hoping it is worth the money. Thanks in advance Serif. I'm in the same situation. It will finishing being $100US, so I looking at this is a more of an investment in professional development. From all reports, the book is worth it, Quote ------AD 1.7.1, AP 1.7.1;Hhave ADW, Serif PagePlus X8 and X9 on an old PCiMac Retina 5K, 27 inch, Late 2015, 3.2Ghz i5, 8GB 1867Mhz DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 M380 2GB; 1TB HDD, macOS Mojave 10.14.5 Wacom Intuos 5 Pro (wireless - without lagging).
