I got an e-mail confirming my order. I was on the website already logged in when the sale came up (because I was worried about just this thing). It took my payment, I tried a second order, just in case, so I may have gotten it in twice. We'll see. If so, maybe I sell the second order.
I have also not received my drop, nor received any information (tracking/delays) for my order. I have submitted a ticket as well and will follow up with any information when they respond.
I received a canned response, I'm assuming they are just churning these out now, even though they are taking money for future drops and not even having sent out the previous ones...
Oh thanx for the vid, I'm already subscribed to the guy, he's a legend and legit guy himself, mainly covers Speedrunning community but also exposes related stuff when he can..
Yeah it seems to be the case, my only experiences with them and defective products have been to send pictures, haven't had to send in anything yet but it seems YMMV.
I've had them ask me to send cards back before, but every time I've asked them to pay for return shipping. I think they've realized it's not worth paying for shipping back on a card they'll likely be shredding, and that has probably trickled down.
Just something to consider when submitting a request for your missing card. Don't tell them you got an 'extra' card, as they may ask for you to ship this back to them. Don't give them more information than you need to. You were shorted a card you paid for, ask them to replace it. Give them the info they ask for (invoice, etc) and go from there.
MH1 boxes were selling pretty consistently for ~$180 on release. If I remember correctly, distributor pricing was around the $140 price point? Some stores were dumping at $150-160 when their inventory was stale and they needed capital, around 6 months after release (I bought some at that price). What this tells me is I need to be SUPER PATIENT on this until the prices settle to around the $180-$200 price point, and buy a couple draft boxes to, yknow, draft. :) Thanks.
I watch Rudy's videos often, just to see what he is trying to do to manipulate the market now. He's an investor, has been before magic as well, and wants to make money. He's not going to offer investment advice for free, but a lot of times you can read into what he's saying (like this video, where he says that 00s era booster boxes are scarcer than he thought). I do think that the era in question definitely has less booster boxes readily available than people thought, but no one believes that's a shards of alara booster box will go to $5k anytime in the next 10 years.
You have a lot more variance with the 3-packs since they aren't from the same pool that might have gone into a booster box, where you're often guaranteed 'something' (like with TSR, where you usually get a foil timeshifted card). My TSR 3 packs I got from amazon, I opened 6, and got 2 foil time shifted card. Random luck, but that's what opening packs is all about anyway.
Card Kingdom is good about fixing those issues. Things slip through the cracks when you operate a large lgs like that. Reach out to them and they will help you (either replace or refund the condition difference), they have for me many times.
I started by getting booster boxes, 1 per standard set, going backwards in time, as I had money (to eventually draft, I love chaos drafts). Then, I went the Timmy route and bought a booster case using eBay bucks/cashback credit cards, so I could turn them into money some years down the line, as I enjoyed the game. Then I started building a cube which I wanted to have a reasonable power level, to draft with friends. Then I started to build a 'few' EDH decks to cycle through with friends. This is all while being in a situation where I have a reasonable amount of disposable income.
Just thought I'd chime in. This has not happened to me, but I've seen a video on their card storage/sorting system (from an LRR video, or maybe it was a gvlog?) and it's insane how much they have, I'm assuming as soon as an order comes in gets pulled from the packaging, and sent to a grading area, with your sell order #, then someone different grades and keys in your order. Maybe something happened inbetween those two? It is possible that the cards got separated from that pile, and honestly, there's probably no way they would be able to tell (they handle so many cards, I don't think they would know where a random stack came from, sadly).
Honestly, I think CK is a bit too aggressive on their buying strategy (especially for buying bulk) but I've sold a ton of bulk to them, and they continue to buy, but always adjust quantity/type of what they're buying, because either they are cycle selling these commons I sold them (at 0.35/ea) or made 'rookie decks' or something similar with those cards, to recoup around double what they paid me.
I think if these were a bit cheaper, I'd consider these reasonable specs. It's true, they will probably not find a home in standard, so their price will probably not rise much, but if they do find a home in some deck, they will go up for that time, at least.
I've seen LP/NM copies of seas sell on facebook groups for around 900-1000. It's not unreasonable to think people with CK credit would buy an EX copy from CK for that price.
I got the email today, and my shipment just got delivered and I was one of the people who got the reverse of what I ordered (I ordered a draft playset of the foils, and got non-foils), so I'll take that $300 mistake on WOTC's part. I just don't get how they can still be working with a company that makes mistakes like these?
Looks like push notifications are going through to purchasers to e-mail them a screenshot of your cart, and current date/time, to ease traffic to the site. They are sending links for payment via e-mail.
I mean this feedback as genuine as I can put it: You'll need to find the next "you" and sell it to him/her as an investment, similar to repacking loans or portfolios.

Under your order history, does it show it?
I was finally able to log back into my account. One of the orders shows. Second was charged to my card, but does not show yet. It might yet.
I have also not received my drop, nor received any information (tracking/delays) for my order. I have submitted a ticket as well and will follow up with any information when they respond.

Jesus, what Meijer looks like this? The last 3 times I've been in there's been basically nothing but bulk boosters and a few commander precons. LOL

Tin foil hat theory time.

Quick search: underground sea R is listed for $840-1200 depending on condition.
I've seen LP/NM copies of seas sell on facebook groups for around 900-1000. It's not unreasonable to think people with CK credit would buy an EX copy from CK for that price.

Their site is currently FUBAR with traffic, just as an FYI to anyone looking to get there. I am stuck trying to finalize my purchase.
I mean this feedback as genuine as I can put it: You'll need to find the next "you" and sell it to him/her as an investment, similar to repacking loans or portfolios.
Thanks for that advice, I think it might be my best avenue to offload a lot of my position at once.
I've seen this too and took some pictures of it, just need to get them off my computer. Didn't realize what caused it
I just also posted this same bug. Thankfully didn't lose LP with a handicap. :)
Make sure that when you login the webpage at /login/overwolf,
I just downloaded the overlay, and same issue. Can't seem to get it to work
