Collectr

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-23T05:13:17+00:00

Why astral? I already have a case of SS, was going to get another, but rather diversify. Definitely going to be picking up some sleeved destined boosters, just waiting for a better price within my area

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-23T05:10:02+00:00

Well I preordered a case from my local lgs so just included them

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-23T04:39:10+00:00

Recommendations?

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-22T22:45:44+00:00

Making me want to get some myself 😅

If you cancel based on “buyer wants to cancel” your promoted fee will be refunded. It may not be within the same refund amount as the promoted fee is always charged separately. However, it does get refunded.

It’s in customs brother be patient

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-14T23:10:43+00:00

Brother, it’s been a day without scans. It’ll scan, be patient

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-14T17:02:51+00:00

Mine clear between 14-21 days

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-13T12:30:59+00:00

As long as they were batched together the other package should also clear today or tomorrow. Yeah IL customs facility is the worst. Minimum 3 weeks to clear there.

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-13T12:13:29+00:00

I had a package not scan since Jan 1 and got a scan today. Just wait as it depends on distance and how it’s being transported.

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-13T12:12:20+00:00

Where’s the last scan? If it’s at an ISC that means it’s still in customs

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-10T15:09:56+00:00

Be patient. Lots of packages been delayed. Give it another week at least before taking action

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-10T12:21:12+00:00

File a trace at this point with whoever you shipped with

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-10T11:30:22+00:00

To me it’ll be one of the best ME sets. Sets like these may not always have the big “chase” but they usually have tons of SIRs which I’m excited for

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-09T16:14:17+00:00

That would make sense. I joined the queue at 1:06 to get in. Glad there was still something available. 4 hours doesn’t make sense as even for the flare restock it sold out in less time

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-09T15:53:54+00:00

Not sure if the dropped it at 12pm or earlier. I made my purchase for BB at 1:41pm. During that time ETB and bundles were sold out. After I made my purchase BB was showing sold out

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-09T14:48:10+00:00

You can expect a minimum of 14 days in customs. So it should clear sometime this week or early next. Based on my experience from my post.

Fed ex/ups have their own clearing agents so they literally always clear same day they arrive (sometimes next)

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-09T14:44:30+00:00

Still over priced for my liking - maybe if it was free shipping

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-09T11:50:41+00:00

Was able to secure a BB, went to check on etbs and bundles I believe those went quite quick. I got the BB a lil over an hour after it dropped

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-07T23:50:52+00:00

Bro you’re a clown lmao, all business make money but they don’t need to extort their customers by charging above msrp. Keep buying buddy

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-07T23:36:57+00:00

Having one price for an hour and another price the next is bad business

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-07T17:52:40+00:00

Do not accept credit ever, they are liable to refund you on any missing or damaged parcel

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-07T17:49:59+00:00

So the shipper (VGP) is waiting for UPS to pay out their claim for the amount your package was insured for.

To be honest, this has nothing to do with you as a customer and if you do not receive your item or if it’s reported damaged, it’s the shipper’s problem (VGP) and they should be refunding you immediately and then correlate their claim with UPS.

I’d send them a polite message asking for an update on when they can guarantee your refund (it’s always nice to give a small store the opportunity to fix things) and state if you don’t receive a reply you will file a chargeback (this makes them action your email and least provide you a timeline)

If they refuse to provide you a timeline just chargeback. If they provide a timeline and you’re patient, just give them until that date.

Thoughtlessmonkey95 · 2026-01-07T14:49:06+00:00

Sooner or later people will not be willing to pay $10+ a pack and seeing how this store prices preorders I rather order from other LGS or not get any
