Paragon Development Systems

Just ordered through my son’s university website from this company. Feeling
underwhelmed and skeptical. Ordering easy, price and conditions awfully hard to swallow. Delayed this decision for weeks, trying to find out if this company on the up and up. What I have experienced as ordering parent–
1) No student discount, just platinum level list pricing. Pricing seems uncompetitive even for higher end graphics laptop. And do not actually get microsoft office, just office 365 in the cloud through the school.
2) REQUIRES you to use a credit card, then charges a REQUIRED convenience fee.
If no alternate method of payment is offered, then such fee is illegal for a vendor in my state. Assume it must be different in Wisconsin. Should be illegal.
3) Sales tax estimate seems off.
4) Long customer unfriendly terms of sales agreement.
5) Charges for shipping when being shipped by third party. From third parties that frequently ship free. Seriously. Over $ 2k and have to pay shipping, also no shipping options offered.
I’d give this ordering experience one star, but taking on faith the university will make them live up to the extended special warranty. And that buying this way really is necessary to guarantee curriculum software compatibility and on site service at school. But is has a bogus feel about it all.
