[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7456468, member: 58197"] So, according to them, they are five middle-aged D&D players with kids and jobs who decided to start a D&D company as their version of a mid-life crisis. That's in their own [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/8og7y4/5epsabeadle_and_grimms_platinum_edition_version/"]words[/URL]. At that point, I don't even care what the package is [I]supposed[/I] to contain. I've worked at a start-up company. It is a lot of work. A lot of stuff goes wrong. And when it does, you have to deal with it, and if you're working till 3 in the morning as a result, that's just how it is. Customers who have shelled out $500 are not gonna be all laid-back and understanding when the product gets shipped to the wrong address, or the wrong items get put in the package, or a supplier doesn't come through and there's a two-week delay, or it gets lost in transit, or somebody screws up data entry and the order falls through the cracks and doesn't get shipped at all and you have no record of the transaction but a customer is showing you a $500 debit on their bank statement. It is not a job for five guys with busy lives and regular jobs who are doing it on a lark. If they had experience with this kind of thing, [i]maybe[/i]... but from what people are saying about their responses to contact requests, they are in way over their heads. I'm sure they aren't intentionally scamming anybody. But if they take your $500 and don't deliver, it comes out the same. [/QUOTE]
