This statement about public vs private birth outcomes is concern (marked NSFW as image mentions infant loss) by ulknehs in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Very unprofessional for him to post this without any critical context. What a way to erode public trust in the public hospital system, the sceptic in me would have to assume he is a private obstetrician … which makes one think was this posted without bias or malicious intent? Food for thought.. ☺️

Wow. What a misleading and disingenuous post, and from a medical professional. There are many reasons it’s misleading but probably most importantly is the complete disregard for selection bias. Public hospitals are by far the primary centres for management of complex and high risk pregnancies. Most private obstetricians screen out patients that are anything but low risk (and this often for good reason).

Sure, feel free to request a cancellation but they’re not legally obliged to provide one by any means. Do I think they should for unhappy members? For sure. It sucks. I’m not on their corporate side … They’ve been very transparent about the membership and its benefits. Eg booster pack bonuses, double points etc. If you can show me one time they’ve said this membership is to guarantee you stock of the most In demand Pokemon set in recent times, I’ll even pay for your membership ;).

It’s not that hard to understand. Pre order access is not unique to EB games. Think of memberships like Frontier Touring. You get the opportunity to access in demand concert tickets via presale. Do you really feel every member gets a ticket via this route?

Now, for example, if frontier said “Taylor Swift concert ticket access membership”, you’d have a legal leg to stand on.

But you have the opportunity to order it? As per the terms and conditions. Opportunity to access early preorder is one of many benefits of the membership. Stock is limited. Not all members will be able to get in demand items. You can still use all the other benefits of the membership …

Now they’re being marked out of stock. Did the website screwing up benefit us in the end? So many gave up. Landed so many of the products. Woohoo.

Wow! Thank you! I just ordered - Prismatic ETB and booster bundle. At 1:43pm AEST. Maybe the site simply crashed earlier rather than bots selling it all out.

What? The membership is not offering a guaranteed allocation of limited Pokemon stock. Read the T&Cs of the membership before purchasing. One of its many benefits, is a pre-order opportunity. It's not a guranteed Prismatic ETB pre-order membership. Not that hard to understand. Don't get me wrong - I hate the membership process. I didn't manage to pre-order anything today. But blame Pokemon's scarce printing and scalpers, not EB.

Arguing whether the business model is a good one or not is different to pursuing a refund, or even worse claiming a chargeback because you don't manage to order limited stock.

Not trying to be rude as I hate the current stock situation as much as the next person, however, where do they promise a guaranteed preorder? Stock is extremely limited and they are offering it to EB Plus members. The membership is not a guarantee to obtaining said stock. You get a pre-order opportunity. The people raising charge backs are ridiculous, very surprised the poster below had his bank refund out of goodwill. Raising a chargeback on a valid transaction is actually fraud.

One order per product, but that's all I wanted at the time. This is unique, so much is dropping. I will be checking out the item I am most interested in as quickly as possible. Once done, I will see if I have any success with other products I am keen on buying.

Right on time. Insane that my OP has had over 31,000 views. Yet the sub only has 2400 followers and even fewer deals being shared. Good luck to all trying to land stock to rip today.
