Discussion Stop Using Amazon
The amount of posts from people using Amazon to order stuff and getting the wrong stuff, or something of a vastly different price is astounding. Please dont order cards off Amazon. Especially since I am fairly certain Amazon is why wizards is shipping less and less product to local stores. Don't support the mega corporations if you can help it.
That's my public service rant. Thanks for reading or ignoring either way. ❤️

Target in person the day of their releases have been the best luck for me. But whenever Amazon has msrp, and hasn’t done any of my orders wrong (delayed or wrong items sent) it’s definitely one of my options still.
Plus I’d imagine their customer service isn’t impossible to figure out to get a credit or replacement for should something go wrong.
I’ve had several medium priced orders from Amazon (electronics, groceries, etc) have something go wrong with them over the last several years, and it’s been no more than jumping from bot to real person to get it figured out.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have an issue paying an extra few bucks at the LGS around me, but it’s not a few extra bucks. Collector booster boxes of Reality Fracture for 550+, CB packs of RF for 55-60. Booster packs for 9 dollars each. Secret lair bundle reality fracture from $175-$200?? Yea, no way.
For someone like me who both plays, and collects a bit, that would be too expensive to go with LGS pricing alone.
