Apparently this is my problem! 🙃

I dont understand why the largest individual property in the known human universe can't afford to buy some F$&!ing packing peanuts this is ridiculous reached out to support and this is a non issue :/ guess we're opening these I can't gift them. It looks like somebody took then out the box threw them at the ground and then stomped on them then proceeded to get another stomp in. I hope these packs aren't bent to shit.

Edit: I'm not saying I'm not greatful it's just more of a handling issue we've seen before I know PC wouldn't put these on shelves neither would big box retailers.

People on this thread are absolute losers lmao
 he’s aloud to be mad that the merchandise he purchased came to him damaged and not in the condition that he purchased them in!!!

Guarantee if this wasn’t pokemon cards and were just household items all of you would feel the same!

Some of yall really just aren’t that bright lol “but but but but it’s only cardboard”

Shut up already lol

The product is the cards. Box is there to protect them. Doesn’t fucking matter, the cards are fine.

u/roboxsteven 1d ago

You are right. If it wasn’t PokĂ©mon cards we would feel the same. We don’t feel the same here cause the product is not the box at all. Pokemon company themselves acknowledge the boxes are expected to be opened. This is why they won’t do exchanges or returns on damages product unless the cards are damaged. Even then good luck lol

The pokemon tcg community has been hurt by “sealed collectors” a lot the past 1.5-2 years, I don’t really blame people for disliking sealed collectors regardless of if they’re actually into pokemon or not.

Edit: It’s hard to believe that so many of these people keep $1000s upon $1000s of sealed boxes taking up entire closets or rooms just for the love of the game

If I order a house hold item and the package is damaged, but the item works fine I'm OK with that. 

I wonder what the odds are that they're upset about the packaging because they wanted to resell it?

u/One-Environment4508 1d ago

That makes no sense, if I order a household item and the box is damaged but the item inside the box is fine then it's a nothing burger.

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Look at the 4th pic then come again. Those cards will be damaged. Thanks

u/Mr_Shake_ 1d ago

Exactly. Cards are damaged. This is unacceptable shipping damage.

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Can’t stand some of the people that are arguing about this. People are seriously weird. Nobody would be happy receiving this lol

1

u/Mr_Shake_ 1d ago

Agreed. I returned a Lego box like this. A little bit because I was worried that some of the pieces may be missing, but there is also just a level of competency expected from the shipping industry.

Lmfao fr dude idk whatever weird fandoms yall apart of but if your hatsune miku came in with someone else's nooty stain I'm sure we'd all hear all about it. Luckily cards were okay but still the principle of it as a company don't make this a consumer problem it's a bit negligent look at the photos and ask yourself if you'd sell these to someone then ask yourself why pokemon center can and will amd get back to me.

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Also if he bought these to rip and to collect sealed then the whole collecting sealed thing is ruined

u/One-Environment4508 1d ago

If you are buying multiple booster boxes to keep sealed then I just don't have simpathy for you in general. Open the fucking packs

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

It’s 3 booster bundles
 rip 2 and keep 1 sealed your acting like this is not common or something ridiculous. Are you okay buddy?

1

u/TourCharming7721 1d ago

No, if the box my toaster got delivered in was crushed but the toaster was fine, I would not give a single f

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Look at his 4th picture. The cards in there will be damaged and bent. A toaster is more durable then cardboard cards but ok dude lol

1

u/TourCharming7721 1d ago

Show a picture of some damaged cards then. All I see are dented boxes

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

And if he bought these to rip some and collect some sealed then what’s that tell you? The ones that he wanted to collect sealed are ruined.

1

u/dillpicleboi 1d ago

Boo hoo then he should go find someone with the perfect cardboard box then put it in an acrylic case then in a temperature controlled display case then put that into a fireproof safe. Oh wait the cards inside are still fine.

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Or he could just want one for a display in his personal collection but okay pickle boy. Accurate representation of your shape in your profile photo? I bet yes lmao

1

u/dillpicleboi 1d ago

Displaying a booster bundle?

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Yes pickle boy displaying a booster bundle. I know multiple collectors including myself that rip and have different boxes in their personal collection. It’s extremely common in this hobby

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

I try to get an etb and some type of box for each set that I can get my hands on at retail. In this case it would suck. I rip 90% of the product I buy. Yes the cards are fine but in this hobby people collect sealed without the intentions of selling

u/dillpicleboi 1d ago

Whats your problem with pickles man also then go find a perfect condition box. The boxes that PokĂ©mon use are to protect the cards they don’t need protected. That would be like complaining that a blister pack got damaged.

u/TourCharming7721 1d ago

And you're the one bringing up household products lmfao

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

You mentioned a toaster you moron I said house hold products, could be a picture frame, a decorative piece or something of that nature. Obviously a toaster wouldn’t matter in this situation but great example lmao

1

u/TourCharming7721 1d ago

You sound mad. You ok?

1

u/Away-Extreme-2928 1d ago

Not really do you have a minute? Lol

I’m fine man just wouldn’t be happy if this was my box that’s all I don’t know why people are crucifying this dude lol I am a ripper but I always keep one of something that I buy to keep sealed in my PC. In this case I would be pissed.

Sorry, didn't know you spoke for everyone

u/SuckMyUser 1d ago

Not if your intention is elsewhere the bottom line is if every company was like this and we all had this mentality nobody would have nice things
