Good at taking the money

Good at taking the money, good at not caring. Myself (and a few others) have been charged for pdf purchases and not receiving the files. Drivethrurpg CS are all to quick to wash their hands of it. "We don't see the transaction on our severs, so there's nothing we can do" (even if you include screenshots, receipts). "Its a new a problem we don't understand, so there's nothing we can do" etc etc.

DriveThruRPG did it again...

First order received, book is damaged. They didnt use any protection material. Talked to the customer service. Very nice and helpful person. He sent a new book on its way. I beg them to use proper protection. I received it today, book is damaged. They didnt use any protection material again. I will never buy physical books there again. And I will tell everybody to do the same. I dont think they care about it.

Avoid: negligence + terrible customer service + difficulty in getting refunded

They screwed up my delivery address (even though it was correctly provided by my payment method) and ended up sending my parcel to the wrong country (?!) ... Then I asked for a refund which at first they refused (?!), after some more exchanges they ended up refunding me but blaming me for not checking the delivery address that they printed wrong (?!) -- Overall they're not trustworthy and I had awful experience with their customer service

Drivethru - never again

Well.... not a good Company at All. If you need help, you wont get some. If you are looking for something, navigating on this site will drive you MAD. If you got a Problem, they will leave you alone. Hopefully there will be more contrahents on POD soon...

Censoring comments they don't like...

I had a discussion with person on their website on political correctness regarding one of their products, where said person's stance was that the mere word race was racist, and that humanity was all the same race.
I then corrected this misunderstanding, by explaining that 'human' is a 'species', and that black people, white people, asians, etc... are different races WITHIN this species.

I think my opponent misunderstood me, because I then received an explanation of why all people was of the same species (like I said), and within a day or two, my last few comments, on the matter, had been deleted. No racism, sexism, or hate in the comments I only tried to discuss the matter in a calm, levelheaded manner.

I don't seem to be the only one who have had their comments unjustifiably deleted so I think this says a lot about the management of the site.

Someone should remind them of the concept of Freedom of Speech.

Edit:
Ok, They have deleted everything now, after I sent them a ticket...
