1. Payment for Pre-Orders

Payment is collected in full at the time the pre-order is placed. This guarantees your spot in our fulfillment queue. Prices for pre-order items are locked at the time of purchase; if the market price increases before release, you will not be charged more.

2. Release Dates & Delays

Release dates are provided by the manufacturers (e.g., Nintendo, Wizards of the Coast, Ravensburger) and are subject to change.

  • We update our product pages with the most current information available.

  • If a release date is significantly delayed, we will notify you via the email provided at checkout.

3. Combined Orders (Shipping Policy)

Important: If you place an order that contains both Pre-Order items and In-Stock items, the entire order will be held until the final pre-order item is released.

  • To receive in-stock items immediately, please place two separate orders.

4. Manufacturer Allocations

On rare occasions, manufacturers may experience production shortages and “allocate” (reduce) the amount of stock sent to retailers.

  • If we receive less stock than ordered, we fulfill pre-orders in the chronological order they were received.

  • In the unlikely event that we cannot fulfill your order due to an allocation cut, you will be notified immediately and issued a 100% refund.

5. Pre-Order Cancellations

  • You may cancel a pre-order for a full refund up to [X] days before the official release date.

  • Once a product is within its shipping window or has been processed for release-day pickup, it is considered a final sale and cannot be canceled.

6. In-Store Pickup for Pre-Orders

If you are a local player in Lincoln Park, MI, you can select “Local Pickup” at checkout.

  • Pre-orders will be available for pickup starting at 11:00 AM on the official release day.

  • Please bring a valid ID and your order confirmation.
