This is the reason I will only preorder products from commercial companies now: Walmart, BestBuy, GameStop etc. These other small companies don’t deserve it
Not best buy for me. I pre-ordered only 3 of the 151 booster bundles from them. Got there on release day for pickup. They said they haven't gotten them yet. Came back later that week and said they still haven't gotten them. Then over 3 weeks of waiting and getting told they don't have them later they say they are unavailable and will have to cancel my order. I didn't have that money in my bank account for 3 weeks and it gets canceled and the money return back to my bank to 3-5 business days after that.
That’s actually my screenshot that you’re showing on reddit. To clarify, they had periodically increased pricing on their site over the past 2 months. So it’s possible that they have cancelled all the orders that were over $1k and are only fulfilling the orders at the very beginning of the preorders. I obviously couldn’t confirm this, but that’s what they’re trying to say in their email.
My order in Nov also got cancelled. Like you said, they keep raising prices and sell at higher prices. I don’t believe they are canceling to fulfill cheap early orders. I firmly believe they only fulfill the high prices. It’s such a scum practice. They won’t get my business anymore
@NoobPokeJourney all the people that reported Pokesama to my RUclips channel/the vid I made, all the preorders that have been brought to me that were canceled were only ones that cost in that 400ish range and the 800ish range. Nit the last wave they did of the most expensive pre orders
@@haasgamesandfitness16 interesting, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but maybe that’s naive of me. Either way, my order is cancelled so I guess it’s kinda moot
GT collectables did this to me today I ordered 5 PRISMATIC EVO POSTER BOX from Walmart and they canceled all of them and I see them relist it I'm so mad
I ordered 7 sticker collections on 11/6. As of now my order has not been cancelled but they did change my order to 3 sticker collections. I won’t be surprised if they end of cancelling it completely.
I think if companies had to cancel orders it must be within a day or hours after preordering. Otherwise cancelling a week before release thinking this whole time since Nov that you got a case already and passed up on different opportunities and finding out that the same company listed your order at a higher price is depressing
I’m a business owner and one thing I know is you should never f*** over your customers. I know I need repeat business and will always take a loss if it means losing a good customer. I won’t buy anything from this store even though I wasn’t personally affected by this
Calling it now, on release day most Prismatic Evo products will be selling for triple the price and people are gonna steal products from stores/small businesses. I’ve never seen the Pokémon tcg get this bad. 😂😂😂
They lack integrity as a business and is just hurting their business in the long-run. They are so focused on the short term gains, they have no vision on what the impact is on the long haul because the internet never forgets.
PokeSama did the same thing to me. I had a preorder at the same rate as shown in the video. The worst part is they just canceled and couldn’t even say sorry or anything. They just cancelled the order
I think it’s awful… to answer maybe why the increase in price is because they probably purchased more from the distributor at a higher cost. I heard distro is trying to sell boxes at a much higher price now. Either way I agree they should’ve given them an option or something.
Ghost gam s TCG in Canada did the same thing to everyone that pre ordered. I had 5 boxes pre ordered on Nov 1 and on the weekend I just got a cancellation email. Now they are selling $139 canadian
If you were going to wait in front of one store to get Prismatic evolutions on release day what store do you think will be your best chance to go in and buy off the shelves
Just checked my electronic mail. Walmart says my Poster Collections are preparing to ship. Unfortunately, that was all I was able to get from Walmart. Wasn't fast enough for the ETBs.
They aren't fulfilling any orders at all. I ordered 3 etbs when these first dropped, same day, and they cancelled mine. More likely, if they are fulfilling the orders that were late and higher price.
Where are people getting the money to buy at these ridiculous prices?!?! I can barely afford my bills let alone paying double to quadruple MSRP for shiny cardboard. If I can't get it at retail, I'll just miss out.
@@ObscureEntittyI hear ya. Don't forget the rip 'n' shippers, too. Certain ones can charge astronomical prices for packs and for some reason there are people who buy in. It's hard to believe I'm being priced out on a children's card game.
What do you expect 450 when it's worth 1500? Every bussiness is there to make money. That's the problem when your order from the small companys that put preorder up way to early.
I stopped hunting pre orders cause I had a nice order with pokesama 😭😭 they are only canceling orders that got cheap prices im sure if you paid up you are not canceled
I got the delay email. I preordered 2 etb's on walmart app. Today, the listing, along with my order, changed to "poster box." My email confirmation still shows the pic of an etb. This morning, I checked the listing; description said poster box but still showed pic of an etb. 20 minutes later the pic was changed to poster box. I preordered @ $33.83 a piece the price on walmart now shows $15.96. I asked them for their "preorder price gaurantee." They said they couldn't do anything for me & to take the package to my nearest walmart & ask them to price match or return the order. I should have screen shot the initial order. I swear I ordered etb's & would have seen if it said poster box. I know it was cheap for etb's but how so expensive for poster box's, and this is sold & shipped by walmart.
That item has always said poster collection in the title and description, the price and picture of an ETB were obvious errors that got fixed within a day or so
@brandongunn7992 The picture was an etb on the walmart app, up until yesterday morning, because I was checking it over & over once I realized the description said poster box, unless my app hadn't updated the listing until I opened it a couple times.
Kinda sounds like Walmart just did this. I saw the other night on Walmart PE ETB's pre- order for $130. I didnt get any because its too much. But now they are delaying orders by a week. Yes, its different from cancelling orders. Just looks fishy as well. Dont here any pre-order for $130 or delays from Target. Just sayin
Don’t feel sorry. Buying from an unknown website with little to no customer service is idiotic. These ecommerce “stores” are literally a bunch of bums selling from their own home. Not legit business.
Honestly in my opinion I'm just passing on the prismatic set and focusing on the other sets in the meantime this is just stupid, I'm taking the stance of voting with my wallet which I ain't encourage this nonsense
Have worked with Pokesama regularly due to them being relatively local to me. The instagram page is brand new... While it sucks to see that theyre doing the same as others with prismatic preorders, I can say that they are a reputable source for everything else and run by good people (as incriminating as this behavior is...)
Why haven't people learned not to preorder and lend people your money? At this point you are asking to be screwed, giving out free loans. I dont feel bad for people who don't learn. I only placed preorders with companies who do not do this, 100% of all my preorders have been confirmed. Hopefully those who got screwed learn for the next round
That being said, I agree it's deplorable on the sellers doing this. As far as scalpers, people are allowing them to exist. I think it's crappy they scalp but they would stop if dummies would stop buying from them. I do not purchase over msrp, I would rather miss out.
I had my order canceled too email when out to alot of people and customers were very upset, what's crazy is people were spending thousands of dollars and they got that message and I could read all the upset emails that went back to the business was still coming in my email
Dude pokesama does suck… almost bought from em in November , glad I didn’t .. once you buy a case from em n if they’re running low they’ll litterly up the price after each case purchased within hours . like set a price n stick with it more plz As far as Safari zone.. they got way to cocky especially during the end of year boom
Honestly, would rather just miss out on Prismatic than deal with everything going. I’ll pop into my local big retail businesses to see what they got, but the preorder crap is a mess
All these companies have business licenses. You can contact the Better Business Bureau.
What’s the bureau do how do you use it
This is the reason I will only preorder products from commercial companies now: Walmart, BestBuy, GameStop etc.
These other small companies don’t deserve it
Yup ordered from each of them and nothing canceled they just charged me yesterday so should be good to go
@ nothing is canceled on my side. Every single one is still scheduled.
Not best buy for me. I pre-ordered only 3 of the 151 booster bundles from them. Got there on release day for pickup. They said they haven't gotten them yet.

@@gabrielturman7830 sorry yo had to go through that. Fortunately I haven’t had any such problems.
Poke Sama?
Sounds more like Poke Scama.
once walmart starts cancelling orders thats when shit really hits the fan

Target or Walmart but in a less populated area

Better than nothing if you paid retail
The other day GameStop charged me for two of my pre orders. Just waiting to ship
They aren't fulfilling any orders at all. I ordered 3 etbs when these first dropped, same day, and they cancelled mine. More likely, if they are fulfilling the orders that were late and higher price.
Walmart delayed a few posters to next Monday. Hoping everything else is good lol
Don't know about X. But they did delete their instagram
I’ve never had a bad encounter with Safari. I’ve only partake in their msrp opportunities, anything that is market price I just keep it moving.
when i safari zone tweet that i decided to NEVER entertain their products or content ever again... insane disrespect
My Walmart order was also delayed, I'm just going to assume that I'm not getting anything. At least they don't charge you until it ships.
Still waiting for my 6 booster box of terastal festival from pokemonplug pre ordered on 4 Dec.
Where are people getting the money to buy at these ridiculous prices?!?! I can barely afford my bills let alone paying double to quadruple MSRP for shiny cardboard. If I can't get it at retail, I'll just miss out.

My pre-order for P.E. also got cancelled by PokeSama…not cool
13:22 🤦♂️ wtf is this? Who does this? why? What would they even gain from this weird move
Safari Zone being Safari Zone
I am thankfull japan pokemon cares about my birthday month

Yep you called the money thing where people are paying over msrp pre orders.
There should be no pre order in general people should just buy on release day

Can we all file complaints with Pokemon?
I hooe everyone is reporting them to the BBB.
Can they sue PS or something like that for doing that? Using people’s money to buy product then canceling afterwards.
I don’t think so because they give their money back
First. Look at the french openings of prismatic. Pull rates are terrible.
That’s good , because there’s going to be a lot of product coming out for years to come
I had my order canceled too email when out to alot of people and customers were very upset, what's crazy is people were spending thousands of dollars and they got that message and I could read all the upset emails that went back to the business was still coming in my email
To the Pokemon community they are selling all there stock why are they mad
Dude pokesama does suck… almost bought from em in November , glad I didn’t .. once you buy a case from em n if they’re running low they’ll litterly up the price after each case purchased within hours . like set a price n stick with it more plz
As far as Safari zone.. they got way to cocky especially during the end of year boom
Honestly, would rather just miss out on Prismatic than deal with everything going. I’ll pop into my local big retail businesses to see what they got, but the preorder crap is a mess
2020 again
Na fam
It's worse.
A year from today prismatic will be printed harder than vivid voltage was and the set will come way down in price. Quadruple msrp is hilarious to me
cope harder
That is kind of cool safari would go to that extent and lose money to let the collectors have a shot at the product
How so didn’t they mark up quite abit over retail as well
@codywinter9611 They said for the plastic removed and clipped corners would sell for msrp
Re-sellers & scalpers getting mad at stores scamming you! The irony lol
Not everyone who bought early is a scammer or reseller
