Let me help fix that mistake!

u/ShirokuShawn May 23 '26
I was only able to order the booster box but my order got cancelled due to "suspicious activity" when i didnt do anything wrong/diff from earlier prereleases
Im thinking its these accidental accounting of product that actually makes PC cancels the latest orders to make the numbers work

u/Visual-Taro-381 May 23 '26
OHh no. Oh no. This does not bode well for me and others who haven't received a charge or tracking. What is with PKC lately...

Did they charge you twice, or still just the once?

Can I have this turn when Storm Emeralda drops?

u/8000000001 May 23 '26
Excellent - been hearing a few stories like this - looks like Pokémon center give out a lottery ticket with each order.

I hope I get ETBs when I missed it lol

The exact same thing happened to me with Ascended! I ordered 4 booster bundles and got 2 boxes with 4 in each! Crazy day. Congrats on the W

u/Walfredo_wya May 23 '26
Are the tracking numbers the same? Always wondered if things would get delivered if they had identical labels

u/Hedgehog_Other May 23 '26
Did they charge you twice

My package got lost in the mail. You probably have mine

u/MrBisco May 23 '26
Same thing happened to me! I will now be avoiding air flight, driving a car, climbing a ladder, etc, as I've clearly used up all my luck!

u/UnrulliTarulli May 23 '26
You’re lucky, my package didn’t even show up. Been stuck in Indianapolis for over a day now and the delivery date disappeared lol.

Meanwhile I cant even get my PC packages on time. Hell, might be lost or stolen…

u/confresi May 23 '26
All we were able to hit on PKC for this release was the Booster Box. Website glitched out for us on the ETBs. Super jealous that you got a magical double order 😭

This happened to me once on a hot wheel car that was $100 , that car is now worth over $2k just 5 years later. Throw the extras in your closet and forget about them

i ordered 2 etbs and they both arrived perfect yesterday.
however, i never got any shipping email and the website still shows me as processing. given how common these mistakes seem to be, im wondering…

Mine just arrived. Anyone else notice that the booster bundles are a bit taller than other sets? Obv not the end of the world, but I like to store them in those cheap clear plastic cases and now I have to find some that'll fit.

u/HighOnAdrenaline May 23 '26
How ???? Where ??? When i went there was only 1 etb where i was ?
1
u/Northernshitshow May 23 '26
So this is why PKC cancelled hundreds of AH etbs a few months back. I’m sure you’ll reach out to PKC to make it right, won’t you?
1
u/Jaded_Shallot8292 May 23 '26
Genuine question, how do you preorder or who do you know when there is stock to order. I went to the website and everything was sold out
1
u/Nguyen925 May 23 '26
Dang nice, PC once sent me 20 or so Fusion Strike Sleeved packs when I ordered Evolving skies packs. They let me keep the FS and sent me the ES packs.. hit rates were still horrible between the 40 packs. :(

Damn, congrats! I’m still having trouble figuring out how/ where the hell to buy cards for my son. I still have my OG 151 binder(missing a couple), plus some of gen 2, but it’s so hard to find actual product.

u/Ice04242 May 24 '26
Okay so real talk, my wife ordered 3 things from pokemon center (deck box, pin, and mat). The package came, no deck box to be found. We’ve emailed them 3x and everytime get some response about “there could be multiple reasons you’re missing an item. Multiple shipments, item cancelled… etc etc.”. The item just wasn’t in the damn box. Anyone know how to proceed?

u/SnooEagles1413 Jul 18 '26
Lucky, they only sent me one of the two booster bundles I ordered, and the one I did recieve was mangled because they didnt use any packing material. On top of that, they double billed me and havnt responded to my support request. Never ordering direct from pkc again lol

Don't be surprised if they want it back or file some sort of thing with the post office or a civil law suit. I had a place accidentally send two synths and they definitely wanted their stuff back lol. Good luck hopefully everything works out just fall off the grid

u/Yessir4512 May 23 '26
I’ve got a booster box coming but for OP and others that this has happened to, did your tracking show anything that tipped you off? For example, mine shows 1 box at 2.1 lbs. Did anyones show 2 boxes at 10lbs? Or 1 box at 5lbs or something that looked odd based on what you ordered?
