I suppose that's possible, but I doubt it very much. Or at least, that is an entirely new phenomenon that I have never experienced and find difficult to believe. (Though in some ways, would not surprise me, what with how insanely terrible at the very basics of the act of distribution, I have...

I think he still gets bonked on the shoulders by one, but he doesn't get his own.

I think that would be a huge mistake. No one cares about the multiverse stuff - they can't avoid using it a little, but they ought to downplay it as much as possible, not lean into it hard. Besides, RDJ is happy to play unrecognisable characters. He could do an accent, wear the mask, and have...

There's really only two explanations that I can think of: 1) They don't "feel like" moving to the new distributors. (It's not hard to do). 2) The new distributors have done credit checks on them, and don't want them as clients (which they would only do if their credit rating is disastrous)...

But we don't need to know until about three months before.

That's also a related problem! ;)

Mine (I'm the owner) is doing fine - everything is a lot more work, needlessly - but we're trucking along as we have done for 32 years. I've got six employees, and I'm not struggling to pay them. I tend to say this, when asked how things are: "My relationship with my customers is good - they're...

I mean, that's a similar problem, but it's not quite the same thing!

Wait, when did I say that it does? (Checks back) Huh. Strange how I said that it does and then went on to explain how it doesn't. Sometimes I just don't seem to type what I'm saying in my head.

The worst part of it is there's no way to predict it. WotC can't warn you about it, because they don't know anything about it. It's quite literally dependent on if a single person at the border agency flags it or not, which they do seemingly on a whim. Someone else's shipment from WotC in the...

@Henadic Theologian is speaking from direct experience of being charged an extra, unexpected fee, when receiving product directly from WotC. However, it's actually the "fault" of the shipping companies (combined with the Canadian border agency) and has very little, AFAICT, to do with WotC or...

Sorry for your loss, @Umbran.

Sure, but author pretty much goes on to say something along the lines of "Is it... this? No. Probably not." So I feel confident that even the author of that piece doesn't believe what they speculated.

Yeah, that was a weird thing to say, but I don't think anyone sensible agrees with that statement, including the author of the article.

I don't think anyone thinks that, nor do I think that anyone has been suggested that anyone thinks that.
