Just noticed this ad going by and it seemed to warrant more attention.

20% with Promo DAKKA

Might be some gothic space ships in my future.

After Lent of course.

Hmm. I tried to use it just now and got "The code you entered is not valid or has expired."

That's not good news.

I'll flag Yakface, either the ad should go down or be updated.

I was going to get a bunch of shoulder pads in my cart too :(

Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but, it works fine for me.
You did use all caps?

That was the first thing I thought. More Chapter pads for the Deathwatch.

It's always worth searching around for other promo codes before you make a purchase as well. Last time I bought some TSons boarding shields I found a free shipping code that worked for me which was a nice surprise!

I checked my pockets and behind the couch cushions, but came up empty, how legit are the sites that come up on a Google search with coupons?

Lower case and all caps both

Depends upon the site but you can generally always find 15-20% off or free shipping codes every month.

Wes, did you enter it into the Promo field not the gift card one? It works for me.

Here is a free shipping code that works;
SHOPSHIPMAR17

I've tried it in the promo field multiple times, and the gift card one just to see. Still the same message "The code you entered is not valid or has expired."

I'm logged in, maybe it is a guest only option?

OK, tried the SHOPSHIPMAR17 code and it gave me the same result. Maybe it just doesn't like Americans?

Nah, I'm logged in

Neither code works for me...

I just tried both codes while logged in and got the same invalid message but the discounts were applied. So I guess the site is just playing silly buggers.

Wish it would do that for me. Just the error message, no discount. Still $102 before and after the code. I've tried both while in the cart, and in the final checkout screen before confirmation.

Just sent in an email. maybe they can sort it out.

OK, got a response. It only works on your first order. Since I've ordered from shapeways before, it doesn't work. :(

Hi guys,

I'm Christopher - I work on the Software Product Team at Shapeways. I stumbled across this thread via Google alerts for Shapeways mentions, and figured I'd pop in and introduce myself

Also, since I saw some of you guys were having some issues, I might be able to help...

OK, got a response. It only works on your first order. Since I've ordered from Shapeways before, it doesn't work. :(

This is correct - the "DAKKA" discount code listed applies to first orders only.

In any regard, please feel free to ping me with any questions you may have

Cheers,

NimlothCQ, thanks for signing up to clarify that! You guys had a nice booth at AdeptiCon, and you're awesome for this hobby

I think the error when using the promo code is also true of the SHOPSHIPMAR17 code, as I tried it last month and it didn't work, but I think it's just because I've ordered previously.

Darnit well this would've been nice to have like 3 days ago when I ordered Boarding and Assault sheilds for my iron warriors lol.

48 hour sale this weekend! Expires late night (11:59 PDT) on Sunday:

After our exciting chat at Adepticon I've added Shapeways to Combat Phase's Recommended Page. You can enter code COMBATPHASE for free shipping off your first order.
Just placed my first order today. Wish I knew about this sooner. Now, a Dusk Raider army is gonna have to happen...

Just a heads up - I made an order using this code, and the cart showed the postage would indeed be free, but when I completed the transaction they had still charged me for postage(!) I have contacted their support to find out what's going on, hopefully it's just a blip with my transaction, but just thought I'd warn people in case it happens to everyone...

Well got my order in and pleasantly suprise. I heard that stuff could be super fragile or the detail obscured but lines as a result of the printing process but my Irow warriors boarding, and combat shields turned out pretty darn good so I think I'll be ordering more gribblies in the future.

That looks great! Is it Frosted Ultra Detail, or Frosted Extreme Detail? I've been really happy with the Extreme parts I've gotten . Well, happy with everything except the price (but depending on what you're doing, it can be well worth it!).

hmm... would the extreme detail be good for something like a 3D print for a master copy for making metal or resin minis? Or is it better for flat things and terrain and stuff?

For masters you really want a more high end printing service like moddler.com

Thanks. I had that happen too but ended up finding a code box to add again at the end finally to complete the transaction. But thanks for contacting them as we need to get that sorted fast.

I can't recommend the boarding shields kicking around the site enough. Mine came with an ever so slightly grainy surface but it's as easy to remove as mold lines and the end product looks great!

Any idea when it expires? Got about £100 in my basket but less cash available than I would like . . .
