Pre-Sale Information
At Card Addicts, some hobby box cards and collectible products may be offered for pre-sale (pre-order) before their official release date.
Pre-sale products allow customers to reserve an upcoming product before it becomes available for regular shipment.
Please carefully review the information below before purchasing a pre-sale product.
1. What Is a Pre-Sale Product?
A pre-sale product is an item that is available for purchase before its expected release or fulfillment date.
Pre-sale listings will identify the product as a pre-sale or pre-order and, where available, will provide an estimated release date or expected shipping timeframe.
The date shown on a product page is an estimate unless explicitly stated otherwise.
2. Estimated Release Dates
Pre-sale release dates are based on information available from the applicable manufacturer, distributor, or supplier.
Release dates may change due to circumstances such as:
- Manufacturing delays.
- Production issues.
- Distribution delays.
- Shipping delays.
- Changes announced by the manufacturer.
- Other circumstances outside Card Addictsβ control.
If the manufacturer or supplier changes the release date, the estimated shipping date for the pre-sale product may also change.
We will make reasonable efforts to provide customers with updated information when significant changes are communicated to us.
3. Pre-Sale Order Processing
Pre-sale orders are generally prepared for shipment once the applicable product becomes available to us following its release.
The standard 1β2 business day processing timeframe generally applies after the product is available and ready for fulfillment.
The estimated 3β5 business day delivery timeframe begins after the order has been shipped.
Pre-sale orders should not be expected to arrive before the applicable product release or fulfillment date.
4. Payment for Pre-Sale Orders
Payment may be required when a pre-sale order is placed.
By purchasing a pre-sale product, you authorize the applicable payment method to be charged according to the checkout terms presented when the order is placed.
If a pre-sale order cannot be fulfilled, an eligible refund will be issued to the original payment method.
5. Product Availability
All pre-sale products are subject to availability.
A pre-sale listing represents an opportunity to purchase an upcoming product but does not guarantee that the manufacturer, distributor, or supplier will provide inventory by a particular date.
If we are unable to obtain the product and cannot fulfill your order, we will contact you when reasonably possible and provide an appropriate resolution, which may include cancellation and an eligible refund.
6. Pre-Sale Cancellations
If you wish to cancel a pre-sale order, please contact us as soon as possible.
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate cancellation requests before the order enters the fulfillment or shipping process.
If cancellation is permitted and approved, the eligible refund will be issued to the original payment method.
Once an order has entered fulfillment or has shipped, cancellation may no longer be possible and the order may need to be handled according to our Return & Refund Policy.
7. Orders Containing Pre-Sale and In-Stock Products
If an order contains both pre-sale products and currently available products, fulfillment may depend on the specific product listings and order circumstances.
Unless otherwise stated, customers should be aware that the presence of a pre-sale item may affect when the order is shipped.
If products are shipped separately, applicable tracking information may be provided for each shipment when available.
8. Pre-Sale Pricing
The price displayed on the applicable product page at the time of purchase will generally apply to the pre-sale order, subject to any obvious pricing or listing errors.
Card Addicts reserves the right to correct pricing or product information errors.
If an obvious pricing error affects your pre-sale order, we may contact you before fulfillment to discuss the available options.
9. Product Contents
For collectible and trading card products, product contents may vary according to the applicable manufacturer release.
Unless explicitly stated in the product listing, purchasing a pre-sale hobby box or collectible product does not guarantee the presence of any particular card, autograph, insert, parallel, memorabilia card, rarity, or other specific collectible.
Card Addicts does not guarantee the future market value, resale value, grading outcome, or investment performance of pre-sale or collectible products.
10. Manufacturer Changes
Manufacturers may change product configurations, packaging, artwork, release dates, contents, or other product details before release.
Where applicable, Card Addicts will provide the product according to the version made available to us by the manufacturer or authorized supply channel.
Product images shown on a pre-sale listing may be subject to change before the official release.
11. Shipping After Release
Once a pre-sale product becomes available and your order is ready for fulfillment:
Processing: 1β2 business days
Estimated delivery: 3β5 business days after shipment
The delivery timeframe is an estimate and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, holidays, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
12. Tracking Information
Tracking information will generally be provided after the order has shipped when tracking is available.
Tracking information may take some time to become active after the carrier receives and scans the package.
If you have questions about the status of your pre-sale order, please contact us with your order number.
13. Delays
Pre-sale products can experience delays before or after their estimated release date.
A delay caused by a manufacturer, distributor, carrier, or other third party does not necessarily mean that the product has been cancelled.
We will make reasonable efforts to keep customers informed when significant information about a delayed pre-sale product becomes available to us.
14. If a Pre-Sale Product Is Cancelled
If the manufacturer or supplier cancels a product or Card Addicts otherwise becomes unable to fulfill the pre-sale order, we may cancel the affected order.
If payment has already been received, an eligible refund will be issued to the original payment method.
Approved refunds are generally processed within 3β5 business days.
The time required for the refund to appear in your account may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.
15. Returns for Pre-Sale Products
Once a pre-sale product has been delivered, it is subject to the same applicable return requirements as other eligible products unless the product listing states otherwise.
Our standard return window is 30 calendar days from the date of delivery.
Collectible products may need to remain sealed, unopened, and in their original condition to qualify for certain returns.
Please review our Return & Refund Policy for complete information.
