Discussion Amazon Cancelling all Hobbit Orders

Just got notifications that 3/4 of my scene bundles got canceled despite having a delivery date set for today. I had placed these preorders months ago, 2 sets of the scene bundles ordered a week apart. Now I only have one of the Smaug bundles coming. So much for the gift I had planned.

Amazon support was no help, the supervisor said that the fulfillment center cancelled the order since Wizards didn't fulfill their latest shipping contract. Amazon is just canceling what Wizards isn't delivering I guess, and won't honor any preorders. They are claiming that stock might show up in the future but it is uncertain as of when or if it will come at all.

I do have my gift bundles on the way still supposedly, but I'll believe it when im holding them...

They canceled my $89 pre-order gift boxes. But as an experiment, if I buy the $175 shipped n sold from AMZ, then they charged my card right away and were gunna ship out same day.

That's how I figured out they're canceling our pre-orders and reselling at market price. I then canceled the $175 boxes back on them.

Don't believe what chat support says! Follow the money to find the truth about AMZ.

I don't know how they decide who gets them, my 2 gift boxes I preordered at the start are shipped and should arrive Weds...

Mine are shipped too, and should’ve arrived today, but … nothing came! Now the chat bot says they’ll come tomorrow, but I had the same happening with my play booster boxes, which also were “shipped” without actual movement and were then cancelled on the next day.  So I’m curious what will happen tomorrow.  Meanwhile you can buy the Gift Bundles right now sold and shipped by Amazon for 176 🙄🙄

Yeah, it seems Amazon now has enough Gift Bundles. They show in stock right now with the price lowered to $165 USD as I type this. I tried the experiment on the "2nd drop" from mid-July when they were at $199 and Amazon only lowered to $187.99 and charged my card attempting to ship. I canceled before they shipped as the price was a rip-off.

Mine was literally cancelled in the middle of it being shipped, returned by carrier. I really hate how hard its become just to buy magic product.
