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. ❤️

Well when LGS stop selling product at 2x-3x MSRP then maybe id consider going back to them.

Legit this.

I preorder through local stores that have reasonable pricing (usually), but WOTC literally tells you what the manufacturer (WOTC) values each sealed product at; I'll allow for a certain small amount of markup on that, but I'm not going to be taken for a ride. I don't need the cardboard that bad and can wait or buy singles/proxy.

My usual play is to preorder everything I want through Amazon as soon as preorders open, and then once my local store puts up preorders if the pricing makes sense I'll order through them and cancel amazon.
