Paizo shipment packing products

[TJSM]

Hi Paizo,

When I opened up my subscription this month, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there weren't any packing peanuts. I think it is great that you've moved away from them. However, I did notice that you choose to replace them with Uline-branded air pockets, and this kind of made me pause.

Paizo's corporate values are so highly in line with various causes, most notably the LGTBQ+ community, which you have welcomed and even ingrained into your lore. Hence my disappointment to see Uline-branded products.

Part of why I like supporting Paizo is that they have taken an important stand on certain issues, and knowing what Uline management espouses privately, as citizens, and then publicly on letters they post on their website, gives me pause. I would hope that Paizo considers joining other companies in sourcing their packing materials elsewhere.

I got packing peanuts this month.

An email would work best to inform them of that.
About the peanuts, I think I heard about one employee mentioning they got something to replace the peanuts... 3 or 4 years ago... I guess it ended up not working well enough... :X

Not sure an email can really be quantified as "best" since that is highly subjective depending on what the goal is. Regardless, this was new information to me regarding that brand so I am grateful for it being shared here, and I am interested to see Paizo's response via words or action.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll share this with the Leadership Team. I was going to ask, "What substitute do you recommend?" but you've even thought of that. Thanks for playing Pathfinder and Starfinder.
