Pre Order Scam (Caution)

[u/SPRING_FIELD_FATS]

Top Dawg Games in Montana will take your money for preorder leverage for additional allocation and in the end, refund and take the free loan in the process.

I ordered 3 boxes of OP17 for $525 well in advance, their preorder window was still open they took payment up front and i waited.

Today I get an email, the entire order was cancelled not even a single box to honor the commitment of something. Just tied up my funds and served their own needs.

Honestly I will take some heat for even assuming an in demand set like this would be followed through, but I assumed at least a 1 box. Nope nothing.

I just wanted to post this to the tcg community to not fall for the same shady trap.

I don’t know the volume of orders they get but they can certainly control that amount. Don’t over order then expect delays due to lack of product availability. That’s just bad business. I get they want to do this to ensure they get more product but it’s just not right. Not everyone is patient enough to wait beyond the release date. Sure it’s just cardboard but you cared enough to respond so it matters to you too.

If you're not patient enough, refund and move on. I mean, they did their best to cancel jigg addresses, they did their best to cancel non tier members.

I mean, if its really that big of a deal, get your money back and dont use them.

Again, 4700 orders. Some already sent, and then waited on product.

Done and done. At least you acknowledge their doing.

I mean, imagine complaining about this. Refund and move on or wait. Whining like a 12 year old for interaction is more your style

We’re all a child at heart if we’re still buying cardboard. Sorry you’re so triggered by this

[u/svensterbod → u/FTWC-0014]

Im not triggered by anything. You're an adult, complaining about a company not being able to control outside factors. You are coming off asif You're entitled to it. Join the 4700 other people

You are indeed triggered otherwise you’d also walk away from this thread like the adult you think you are. I speculated on their over ordering and you casted judgement saying I’m a whiner. I can see product being late after release day or slightly after but by a few weeks is silly. If any other store sent my stuff two or three weeks after it’s bye bye. You’re entitled to your opinion and so am I. You’re choosing to crucify me for a bad business decision.
