I guess it might just possibly be for this value of item? Or maybe this category of item?
All I was told when they called me to explain is that the policy had changed a month or so ago, and they now charge when you pre-order. I assumed they were referring to all pre-orders but I could have assumed incorrectly.
Ah OK this sounds like pre-authorisation has been introduced. The amount wouldn't be claimed until the release date of the item, so if this item was pre-ordered today, there would be a Pending transaction that would drop off after 10 days or so, and then reappear once Amazon charges for the amount once shipped.
Cardboard sleeves will damage easily and scratch the hell out your discs. Price is insane
That's it? A nice package and a pin? For that price is insane.
I was expecting a little collectible item from each season or something. If I knew it was going to be this lacklustre I'd have bought the individual collectors editions for each season
I can’t believe they are doing that. I will be doing a lot less pre-orders from now on. I used to always put a pre-order in and not worry about it but I’m not paying up front for something that won’t be out for months. That’s a stupid policy.
This could be a nice set but that price is very high depending on what it comes with.
I understand your concern, but i suppose a lot people place pre-orders just cause it is free of charge and they can cancel whenever they want.
The problem is that the amount of preorders might be a serious indication of how much pieces of a limited edition they will press. If the amount of preorders that gets cancelled prior to release but after conception is too high it might be a huge loss for the company who release this title and won't sell most of his produced units.
That may be true but I’m sure its more about amazon taking your money than anything else! You might be right and companies want to see what kind of nunbers they get but I find it strange that they would use them as exact numbers as other places like zavvi you still don’t pay until just before the release date. I do understand thought that it may be helpful for smaller companies to do this.I understand your concern, but i suppose a lot people place pre-orders just cause it is free of charge and they can cancel whenever they want.
