I'm actually wearing the black one right now.

Huh.

For some reason, I thought you didn't like Penny Arcade...

Heh - we could wear them together to the Thursday game... if I could bring myself to pay $50+ for a hoodie. Mind you, if I could, this would be the one!

I thought the same thing.

I don't, but I've always appreciated that one specific strip.

Re: Huh.

[thebitterguy]

I used to dislike them, but they've grown on me.

[thebitterguy]

It's definitely a cool looking piece of gear. But I don't know if I would be comfortable dressed like a hood-lum.

[thebitterguy]

Cool. Did they gouge on shipping at all?

[kinra.livejournal.com]

I ordered one for Rob, it took three months to arrive; after two and a half months they sent another one, then they both arrived at the same time. Kinda inconsistent.

Re: Huh.

[absinthe-dot-ca.livejournal.com]

Yep, they'll do that, much like a fungus.

[lowercaseem.livejournal.com]

I don't recall paying anything extra for shipping outside of what the order on the website said. If anything.

I just ordered it and it arrived.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

So you got two for the price of one?

[kinra.livejournal.com]

Yes! It was very much a bad news/good news situation. I ordered one for him for Xmas, an instead of that he got two on his birthday, two months afterwards.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it might've been the shipper and not their fault - though I suppose they coulda just screwed up and not shipped originally and then shipped two to make up for it.

Still, 241 is pretty sweet, and a 2 month wait isn't that horrendous; a friend of mine paid for a shirt for me last year at GenCon or Origins and we're still waiting for some resolution. o.O

[kinra.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't PA's fault, it was all Canada Customs' fault -- but they seemed they had problems getting through, which might recur.

And a 2 month wait isn't THAT bad... but 3 months? Honestly, that's a quarter. That's bad.

[kinra.livejournal.com]

Let me clarify: it was ordered December 1st, arrived Feb 20th.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Mea culpa - when you said I ordered one for him for Xmas, an instead of that he got two on his birthday, two months afterwards, I took it literally.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

So, basically, you're complaint that you ordered from them has nothing to do with them, but with your own country's government, and their inefficiency could be applied to any package crossing the border?

And considering PA sent another one, when it seems they had no onus whatsoever, seems to be a rather shining point in their favour.

[kinra.livejournal.com]

Sir, CHILL.

My complaint is with my entire experience, and it's mitigated by their subsequent actions. Regardless, it was more of a warning: BitterGuy lives in my conuntry, and if he orders such a shirt, he'll probably have a similar experience.

How excited is he to wait three fukcing months for it? That's the question.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

What's with the 'chill'? I asked, quite chilled I assure you, a simple question. If you can't handle that, you're the one who needs to chill, not I.

...and if he orders such a shirt, he'll probably have a similar experience.

Statistically speaking, from your experiences alone, he has a 50% chance of that happening. And a 50% chance of it not happening.

[kinra.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's anecdotal, and should be regarded as such. Customs has been bad. The risk is BitterGuy's to take. I'm advising him to keep it in mind.

I just don't understand why you interpreted my comments as an attack on the PA store, and why you got so defensive about it - not so much a "simple question", but a "loaded, defensive reaction". 'sokay, I don't have anything else to say to you.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Works for me.
