Got screwed over by Paizo


Off-Topic Discussions


Fell like I got a little screwed over by Paizo. Preordered the D&D board game from them, and it didn't ship until I was leaving for Origins and then went to hte show and saw that I could have bought it for $25 LESS. (was $50 less then I paid but some of that 23 and change was shipping) so even if I bought it at Origins and had to mail it home because of room on the airplane I would have saved $25.

Feel like I got the short end of the deal, which is a shame since I generally like Dragon Mag.


Blame Origins. If not for Origins, you'd be perfectly happy with your game now.

The price on our site for the base set and both expansions comes to $109.85 plus shipping (which varies based on how you ship, where you live, and what else you ordered). Unless you live in Washington State, there's no sales tax.

The show special was $10 off for people who bought the set of three; sales tax made it something like $106.20 (plus or minus a few cents).

So, the difference in what you paid really comes to about $3.50 plus shipping.

Vic is More then CORRECT. The invoice that came with the set did say that I got the 3 items for 125 + shipping, but when I added up the price listed on each line it didn't match the total it came to 109 like Vic said. Looking up my account info from when the order was placed a few months back there was 2 OTHER items on the same order that were shipped right away, all the math there balances out to what I paid and what was shipped to me. Seems that I failed the spot check on the invoice or I would have checked it against my account info ealier when the totals didn't match, Sorry for the confusion.


So Paizo didn't screw you after all. I was not so lucky. They caught me one night feeling sad over a break up and came over to comfort me with some gentle advice, a shoulder to cry on, and a spiked drink.

The last thing I remember before passing out was me slurring, "I'm a dude, man."

And then I believe Paizo said in a husky soft tone, "Hush your pretty mouth and rest."

Wow - ALL of Paizo? I bet you were sore in the morning.

Makes my feeling a bit grumpy over a delayed order not nearly so bad...

Everyone except for Lisa so I was sore in both senses of the word. If it wasn't for my fervent brand loyalty I would have called the authorities by now.

It coulda' been worse...
You could have woken up in a tub of ice water, with an angry surgical wound stitched together as if by an arthritic bonobo over the empty hole where your left kidney used to be.

Ah, bonobo... the SEXY chimp.

Good times... good times...

Avatar? Why that's a picture of the real me, mate (after having been run through the Photoshop 'fresco' effect). I am a literate wolf who can think, write, and type so long as the subject is gaming or things I'd like to pee against. You should see the paw-sized keys on this massive keyboard they made for me. The amount of mud I get on this thing in a day...

I don't mean to brag but I'm coming out with my own brand of gamer's dog dog food. What do you do when your pet sitter is taking care of your pooch while you're away and there's no game session table scraps? Is it fair that a dog should go a week or more without life-killing junk food? NO! So first up we have pizzabeef jerkymash and Cheetoh's flavored liver treats (made with REAL cheese flavor).

The words above pained this vegetarian to write; alas, anything for an unfunny joke. ANYTHING!
