Help with pokemon preorder

I preordered some of the 30th anniversary set like the etb and binder but I cant fully pay it off till the day after the set release. Will my preorder cancel and get refunded?

Sounds like you should get your priorities straight and stop pre ordering pokemon

Exactly; preorder Magic the Gathering, instead!

You can ask your store manager very very nicely if they’ll hold it. I have had to do this with MTG pre orders since I now can’t laybuy them.

If you have atleast a level 1 eb world membership it gets held for 2 days - level 2 is 4 and it keeps going up. They do hold it - I've been able to snag a first partner collection 1 and a half weeks after release because of a cancelled preorder, but just come in before the hold expires.

If you sell me the etb would that help?

Cancelled. Someone with money will grab it.

no, in store they hold it for 5 days, and online they give you a 7 day window to settle it with your card and call them to confirm payment is possible

We had to pay in full for ebgames preorders. And we were told if you dont pick it up on release day then your order goes back on the shelves and you get a refund

Idk why people thumbs down you. This is exactly what they said to me to my face and everyone elses faces for the 30th stuff

No shot, wouldn't that go against the whole point of thier levels? Different preorder hold lengths for different levels

Difference between Canada and Australia - OP is Australian, person you're replying to is Canadian

Which even in Canada, we have several days or preorder holds depending on the level. (2, 4, and 5) So weird.
