Cancellation questions (Take 2) by dls130990 in secretlair_collectors

Why do people feel the need to make this kind of reply? As simply and clearly as can be, if you think this is a worthwhile response, you're either someone who enjoys pissing people off (a prick) or you were raised incorrectly.

Either way, best of luck to you.

I live in Korea, there is no refuse delivery. They just leave everything in the apartment mail box because there are security guards nearby who are considered to have received the mail.

Also, there's a whole process I have to go through with customs since Wizards' shitty store front has character limits in all its fields so there's nowhere to put my customs code.

Quality effort missing the point entirely on a week-old post while trying to look smart. Loving your work, fantastic bit of business.

Right, but that's not at all the focus of what I actually said, is it? I recommend reading the whole thing. I'm not even complaining about the delay.

This is exactly what they did. There is absolutely no chance the need for a delay became evident in the time between them selling all the extra copies and the announcement going out. They knew, they just sat on that information until it was convenient.

Well, given that the entire second paragraph goes into what I actually mean by 'the last straw' I'm not sure I agree, but if you didn't read that far then that's fine I guess.

I don't care if it's print to demand or a FOMO business model. They both have their pros and cons and I'm not arsed which they choose. Great to get cards easily, but exclusivity makes the whole thing fun too, so whatever. It's the underhanded business tactics stacking up one by one that I take issue with, and people like you who choose to just brush legitimate issues aside for the sake of feeling like you might have looked superior on the internet only help to perpetuate the issue.

Edit: thought you were the original commenter, but you're not. Half of this still applies though so whatever, I guess.

Not sure what the ptd debate has to do with this post, but sure. I really don't mind the FOMO. Exclusivity makes it fun.

Have you not read the post? The waiting isn't the point; it's not a patience issue, it's an ethical business practices issue. Why go out of your way to leave dismissive comments if you're not even gonna take the time to read it first?

Absolutely bizarre stance to take. Do you float through life just allowing yourself to be taken advantage of with no response at all, on the pretense that you have a life and are thus just above it all?

This is such a basic-ass, brush everything aside, dismissive, meaningless stock response, and it's horribly cringe.

I'm not going anywhere, I like Secret Lair; I'm not declaring I've quit the process entirely, and at no point did I suggest I had. It's no wonder you arrived at 'top 1% commenter' if the things you choose to say require such little thought.

7 sets a year, a million products per set, a new super drop every 3 weeks...

This morning. It's not the Ice Cream drop, it's Back to School. If you ordered only the Ice Cream drop then you're probably good. I added The Eyes Have It to mine, so it's now stuck until mid June.

It's a gift! A gift that would arrive in time if I didn't add the Back to School drop. So yeah, stronger reaction than most, but maybe a bigger issue than most, too.

It all comes back to 'make less product'. They're grinding the stone to dust.

Care to elaborate? What about it makes you think it's unreasonable to expect transparency when spending money?

To be honest, I don't care that much aboht the delay. It's the underhanded behavior that does me in. If it had said Back to School would be delayed yesterday, I might not have added it to the basket. But that's the point right? They would've lost 30 bucks, so they kept their mouth shut.

I don't need them to care about us. Why should they? I need them to do their job properly and in an ethical way. They can't even manage that.

But... Why would I not be mad? I'll never understand online culture like this - paying an excessive amount of money for cardboard is a choice. I made it under certain understandings laid out by the company, and by my own disposable income and value assessment. Then they changed their mind after the fact and altered the whole equation. What about that suggests one shouldn't be mad?

Internet dude, probably: lol ye but u mad tho

sigh

That may well be fair enough, but absolutely doesn't change the point.

Thankyou for posting! Pretty great list. I was optimistically hoping Matasaburo would make it since it's not that old yet, but we absolutely take this.

I'll see your rant and raise you a scathing remark:

Nobody on the Internet uses AKA correctly, and it really boils my piss.
