ogboot 10 Posted December 15, 2016 Must be trying to make some money back from all those booster boxes they sent out by mistake to people who ordered just booster packs Wish I had taken the gamble on that one. I just saw some guy say he ordered 10 packs and got 10 boxes. Christmas came early there.... It was limit 3 so I would take that report with a grain of salt. I tried to even do two separate orders but was not allowed so he would have to get multiple people to place orders so possible but not plausible. I too got in on the first wave but mine was caught before it shipped. I received a huge box full of airbags and 3 tiny booster packs. I believe the shipping materials had already been allocated when they caught the error, or it had already been boxed up so was adjusted. No worries though, I already got a legitimate gravity feed, I also bought 2 boosters from my FLGS and 1 was a legendary so I'm satisfied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless I see a charge from amazon to your CC or debit card for $30-40 from that particular seller if applicable, plus a picture of you holding a printout of your receipt next to the 10 boxes, it's fake.

So contacting customer service wouldn't have changed anything. 1 433 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it did happen, it was clearly a mistake, but you kept them? 99% of the time, a big retailer is going to tell you to keep the product and move on with their lives. Let's say Amazon is paying FFG ~60% for the product. That booster box is costing them something like 65 bucks. They got $3 for it, losing about 62 bucks in the process. Do you really think that AMAZON is going to spend more than 5 seconds considering whether or not to try to recoup the product from a handful of customers OR are they going to learn from the mistake, write off the loss and move on?

Stone37 3,353 Posted December 19, 2016 I think it's funny that people believe it was AMAZON who lost money in the Booster/Box debacle.... ...also, possession is 9/10 of the law. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No me, I wasn't that lucky, but the person who this happened to did say he contacted Amazon and they said just keep them, it's in the BGG link that he posted earlier in this thread.

Winter Soldier 10 Posted December 20, 2016 I can confirm that amazon did, in fact, ship booster boxes instead of individual booster packs. I was only able to get 3, but I called and informed them of the error and told them I would pay the difference. However, they told me just to keep the boxes, courtesy of them. Safe to say, I will continue my prime membership. 1 433 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
