IIRC Paizo did try European forwarding during the Dragon/Dungeon era and it didn't really work well.
That was something Wizards had started with the magazines, and it went very, very badly for us. We then switched companies, and it went fine for a short time, and then went badly. And we're not just talking little headaches here—we're talking some of the worst problems Paizo has ever had, and the resolution to each cost us time, money, and, worst of all, made for some really unhappy customers.
We believe that if you're giving us money, you should be able to expect the same high level of service that we're known for, no matter who's actually sending your product. And as soon as we give up *direct* control in that arena, we're bound to have problems. So until we're in a position to open an office in Europe ourselves—and we may well never be in such a position—I do not expect to ever attempt that sort of thing again. If the economics of overseas shipping aren't viable for you, we hope you'll support your local game store.
Okay, I see where this is going. I'll bite the bullet and go to Europe. For Paizo!
Yoda, there's no need to try to cover up your feelings...I'll miss you too. But there's internet in Europe. And when Paizo needs me to go to Europe. I go. Europe. Lisa, you can just send my tickets to the address my account is under. Now, to break the news to the wife...

Really what we need is to get Erik a Cessna for Erik Mona Day, and then he can personally fly the shipments over there. We can even be environmentally friendly and have the plane run on leftover kitchen grease from White Castle.
*shrug* I can't afford any subscriptions at all, so my opinion is sort of moot. But if I could, I would buy a paizo subscription or three.

Now, to break the news to the wife...

Funny thing... She was dancing on the table with joy at the news.
