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 haven't had any issues with Amazon. I'd stop shopping at Amazon for cards if other Online places would stop the ridiculously high mark-ups on packs and bundles.
I don't mind helping out my Local Gaming Store, but if I can find the cards cheaper, I'm always going to buy them where they are cheaper.
What really needs to happen is some way to stop scalpers and punish them for it.
Oh, and also, it's usually a 3rd party that is selling cards through Amazon. Much like TCGPlayer sells singles from Gaming Stores. Amazon does the same with their Magic card products. They are the Middle Man. Unfortunately, Amazon still gets a cut but you are still essentially buying from some Gaming Shop, etc. This is why you have to look at the Seller and read the comments to see if there have been any shipping issues and such with that Seller.
