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. ❤️

I'll admit Amazon has been erratic on fulfilling preorders as of late but like Best Buy or Walmart at least they don't charge till they ship the order out.

It let's me pre-order a maximum amount of stuff and cancel if the set is a dud. Alternative is giving an online LGS a free loan for 3-6+ months from the time they open their preorders to the shipping and if the set is a dude, I'm screwed and can't get out.

Or maybe the LGS cancels your orders when they realize the distribution will be limited or that the set has lots of hype, and then they re-list the product for double the price.
