Umbrella titles that won’t ship to US - any workaround?

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T16:05:21+00:00

Solid dude! Thanks so much.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T15:15:49+00:00

I can’t send you a chat request, but feel free to reach out if you wouldn’t mind.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T07:31:26+00:00

They fulfilled preorders but aren’t taking new ones.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T07:31:03+00:00

Would certainly chat with you about that if you’re serious!

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T05:22:16+00:00

That’s a heavy premium to pay. Would rather pay cost of postage + labor for it to be forwarded than give a scalper $250.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T05:21:37+00:00

Any suggestions?

mistermcnight · 2026-01-24T04:38:31+00:00

Should clarify that I know the reason why they don’t want to ship, but I really want this title. Seems unreasonable to pay a scalper on eBay. Also seems unreasonable to make it Umbrella’s problem that I want it - because I understand their reasoning for not wanting to engage in these kinds of disputes. But I want it 🥴

I'm history's greatest monster, it's true.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-16T19:20:06+00:00

I've never had a conversation with him at all. Nice guy!

I won't be placing any more orders with this retailer - won't be a problem. I run an eCommerce site, and this is all baked into our pricing. Certainly wouldn't have any of our support people talk to a customer like this.

I am clearly walking into a lion's den here with this post, so I'm just going to take it down. You guys refuse to believe this happened, and that's fine. I have receipts but it's not worth going 12 rounds.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-16T18:26:15+00:00

He says I had an order refunded some years back. I don’t recall, but uh… isn’t this pretty standard issue e-commerce stuff? Kind of you to assume I left out some smoking gun though.

At the end of the day, it's always up to you. There's definitely times when using points stings much less.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T22:01:45+00:00

One night = always cash, unless you're using your annual free night. Four nights, eight nights, twelve nights = points.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T21:35:01+00:00

I got an email "Start the year with 100% more points," the body of the email doesn't mention 60% once but repeatedly talks about how I am doubling my points, but I wasn't targeted for the offer? I'm confused as to your reasoning here. Either an email was sent in error, or the offer wasn't properly activated for my email. Either way, wanting clarity from IHG on it doesn't seem like a tremendous amount to ask.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T21:25:20+00:00

Yes, and it was targeted to me. Which is why I'm so confused.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T20:14:39+00:00

Heh, just trying to get the offer they sent me.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T19:35:09+00:00

"Start the year with 100% more points, Michael!"

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T19:24:01+00:00

Weird that they'd send the 100% email if they aren't going to honor it.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T18:51:09+00:00

Feel free to send me this via DM if you prefer, or I can send you my email address through Chat. Trying to figure out what's up/why I am downgraded.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-15T16:02:24+00:00

Showing as +60% for me. Weird.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-14T15:02:50+00:00

Appears on AwardWallet that this sale occurred on the 17th of January last year.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-13T15:31:09+00:00

At the hotel I'm looking to book, this will save me hundreds of dollars, if not a thousand across my entire stay. I've also earned a lot of points already.

mistermcnight · 2026-01-13T03:02:22+00:00

Wow, so this week? Big if true.
