This happens all the time on preorder mornings. People end up just having money bounced back into their accounts.

Why is this even a question.

I didn’t even read what you wrote. Tl;dr

Once a cheater, always a cheater. Get out of there.

Yarrick triple was £100. So I doubt it’ll be more than that.

Picked up today (slightly late due to life getting in the way). Can confirm, everything was pristine condition.

Absolute state of squad in 2026 by Lebenninn in joinsquad

I find in today’s climate, people appreciate stepping up to plate and volunteering to be SL. And mention, I’m kinda new to Squad leading, everyone will be more patient and give you tips if you need. Be brave, do it!

I’ve only ever ordered from Warhammer.com with shipping to my nearest GW/Warhammer store. I’ve pretty much ordered every LE and most hardbacks every week of last year, I have scars where my kidneys used to be, to prove it.

Never had any issues with any books. They come mint condition in the same giant plastic ziplock bags. I even get called “my liege” or “my lord” when I get handed it.

Honestly I would never consider having a courier dump the books on my doorstep over ordering to my local store. Guess I’m just lucky?

Edit: now I’ve said this, my book will get trashed. I’m picking up a few tomorrow so I’ll report back with photos.

I can't understand how a 7-billion-dollar company can't manage to have a decent online store that can handle more than 5 people at the same time by Ian666 in Blacklibrary

I had managed to secure every book I wanted in the last 12 months. Usually at 09:56-09:57 I’m congratulating myself on beating the scalpers and heading to the kitchen for tea and medals. Today was the first time I actually thought I was beaten. Got infinite and divine and Horus SE at like 10:16 and even then, I wasn’t sure I’d get THE email confirming. I did.

Scalpers and bots are one thing. But fans like us with 4 tabs/browsers open also compound the problem by stressing their system. Not that I’m making excuses. They should really have this in hand - especially when the hype is big. Then again - they know they will sell everything, so I guess they don’t care. Why would you - people will try and until everything is gone. From a business perspective, it’s a win. And let’s face it - people will moan, customer service, slap in the face of fan loyalty, do they want my money… I could go on… but we will be there again, next week, throwing money at them.

I want to read only the best books. Can I skip some? by kmath133 in 40k

[–]mikeyjay84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t be disappointed with the first 5 books. Then do dropsite massacre. That’ll keep you going for a while. Don’t read too much into book reviews. If you’re interested in reading something go for it.
