CS just answered my ticket.
Nope, no discount on custom orders.
Kinda a lame christmas sale, considering it's a once-a-year thing.

Well BD, you are missing out on close to $900 in sales before discounts.

Awee i saved $500 spare ftom this months paycheck/christmas money for this, im starting to think ill only get a toy on second hands for now on x

[TheOtherDude]

There's probably still a drop happening today (I think 1hr 45min from now is the usual time of day they put them in), but I don't expect it to be very stunning.

I've been waiting since a month for this sale. Bummer.

Edit: Will you look at that. They silently changed the wording on the advertising banner.
Now it reads 20% off select items.

Just noticed the edit. Yeaaaaahhh, I think this is gonna be a one custom a year type of thing, I dont mean to sound ungrateful its just last year when i didnt know much about BD, it felt it was a far better deal, maybe i'll wait till new year x

So, I just checked to see if it would be viable for me to just buy the lube I wanted for 20% off and buy toys elsewhere. Nope, the shipping on the lube would cost more than the actual lube (before the discount). Meanwhile I can add 2 toys and a vibe to that basket and the shipping only increases by ~$5.

So buying lube alone is out, that is a horrible deal on shipping.

So that's why the black friday dicks haven't shipped yet.

Not yet.

Though the sale is going to last until the 29th, so there's plenty of time for a drop between now and then.

[Villie]

C'mon bad dragon, do another inventory drop!!!

Out of the few models I wanna get, there's none in an interesting color right now hrm. Or just not in the right softness. I need sooooft.

The penetrable selection is better, trust me

[Tempest]

My memory could be playing tricks on me, but I'm pretty sure that prior Boxing Day sales were on inventory/accessories too.

I've built a great collection from inventory toys, sure you've got to wait for the right ones to drop but if you're ordering customs you're going to be waiting too.

Judging by this description, last year's was 15% off actually everything.

[Fae Fantase]

Holidays gifts/vehicular fuel making trips well outta town for gifts got me . I might be able to do 1 small. Yet PFF's new toy's tempting too.

[Fishy]

If I manage to spot out a L Chance Unflared during this sale I'll be in heaven, plus the lube

Can confirm. Got my custom Clayton last year for the boxing day sale.

You'd think they'd make more money by giving people x% off of customs too, but I guess not? Seems like they'd profit off of it but that's just me.

To anyone looking for something in a drop on or before Friday, I hope you guys get what you're looking for.

[TheOtherDude]

Obviously giving a discount on customs is less pressing for them than discounting inventory to clear it out, probably it's also a slightly worse deal for them money-wise too (less profit).

My guess is... (all of the following is pure speculation!)

Previously they were handing out those discount codes on cons (which are/can only be visited by a tiny tiny share of BD customers) in an attempt to keep relative control over the sales volume. Because they only handed out the code to a handful of people, they could allow for a longer time window in turn - or so they thought, as we began sharing the discount codes on the forums.

This however likely still didn't have a too big impact, because they just kept going with those generic, multi-use codes - they could easily have started handing out only-valid-for-one-order individualized codes if it had been a problem.

But now with their new website, there's no longer any way to enter discount codes, and the temporary solution to have customer support refund the discount after ordering was way too labor-intensive to be viable, and now we just get timed, site-wide discounts that are offered to any random visitor. There is no way to miss the discount if you are ordering in that time frame, because it is force-applied. So with that, now they have no more control over the size of the discount audience in any way at all, and to still keep some control over the discounted sales volume the only instrument they have left is shortening the discount time frame.

Maybe they had already decided for a "until end of week" sale for this event because of marketing reasons, but didn't want to discount customs too because of the too-long time frame?

Here's hoping they do a one- or two-day New Year's sale with discounts on customs...

[Azareus]

I'm weak-willed so I made my order. I'm not gonna let a lousy discount ruin my holiday order plans.
Incoming Large Roland, JT, 9 bottles of lube and a bullet vibe. I've never ordered more than one toy at a time before.

The customs fees are going to ruin me.

[Hoofs_N_Horns]

I was tempted by a few this morning. There was a pretty Diego and Demogorgon. But I think I've placed a moratorium on dick-buying for a while...

At least until I see something I reaaally want and the price is right, you know how it goes

[KnotyDes]

The penetrable selection is better, trust me

there are none. or are you just joking with me?

It's called sarcasm.
