Thanks for the update! While I know this isn't directly your problem, when I try to log into the customer portal to check the status of a current ticket it doesn't take my normal Paizo username (email)/password. I tried to do a password reset from that window as well and it didn't appear to do anything. Just some feedback. Thanks again!

Thanks for the info. I know people rarely see what's really going on. Still frustrating, but I'll keep emailing. I just wanted the pocket edition books... :( lol
When I didn't receive an email back for over a week I tried being proactive and I simply googled "paizo phone number" and "paizo support". Both had results for the phone or support page. I've worked in the IT industry for over 20 years and half of it as a manager/director and all of it dealing with customer service. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting white glove treatment and demanding for a resolution right now, but 1-2 week response time is very excessive. While not the end of the world it IS unprofessional. There is no way I could let my team have that kind of response time nor would I expect it from a company I bought goods from. Having long response times like this would indicate that someone, somewhere, doesn't care or doesn't have the resources to fix the problem. There should be some SLA's (service level agreements) in place, internally, to help themselves know if they need additional resources and to provide better support. This doesn't sound like it's just a blip because someone was out sick for a few days. It sounds like it's been a multi month issue (according to the other posts). Echoing the original post, it is very frustrating that there is no other avenue for communicating with Paizo other than a support email that, at best, is 1-2 weeks out.
I'm guessing they're not using the portal anymore but you can still see it at: https://support.paizo.com/support/home When you call Paizo's main number you can choose "1" for customer service which then says all their support staff is remote now or you can go to the support portal and it gives the address above. You then can leave a message. wow... They REALLY need to clean up some stuff. I'm sure they're backed up with tickets but it sounds like it's been that way for a very long time. I looked on their careers page and there isn't any openings for customer support but their linkedin page had a customer support position open a few weeks ago. It's not good when a company has seemingly ignored problems like this.
I ordered two copies of the new remaster pocket edition books, one for a friend and one set for me. My friend received his but I have not (over two weeks now) and the tracking number for my package doesn't work. I submitted a ticket to support and it took them over a week to reply that sometimes orders get combined and shipped to the same location (they did not). Ughh.. They didn't check on where my package was or in any way try to help. I sent a reply and called and left a message but haven't heard anything back for over a week now. Working through an email exchange that takes over a week per response is terrible but there seems to be no recourse. I tried the support portal but I can't log in, it doesn't appear to be the same account info as the rest of the site. I'm finding this very frustrating. |
