Pre-Sale Information

At AB Cards and Collectibles, selected products may be offered for pre-sale before their official release date. Pre-sale products allow customers to reserve upcoming trading card products, collectibles, and limited releases before they become generally available.

Please review the information below carefully before placing a pre-sale order.

What Is a Pre-Sale Product?

A pre-sale product is an item that has been announced or allocated for an upcoming release but is not yet available for immediate shipment.

The estimated release date will normally be displayed on the applicable product page when available.

By purchasing a pre-sale item, you are reserving the product in advance, subject to manufacturer, distributor, and supplier availability.

Estimated Release Dates

All release dates shown on our website are estimated and may be changed by the manufacturer, publisher, distributor, or supplier.

Release dates may occasionally be:

  • Delayed

  • Moved forward

  • Changed without advance notice

  • Different between regions or distributors

AB Cards and Collectibles does not control manufacturer or distributor release schedules.

If a release date changes, we will fulfill the order as soon as the applicable inventory becomes available to us.

When Will My Pre-Sale Order Ship?

Pre-sale items are not subject to our normal processing timeframe until the product becomes available for fulfillment.

Once the product is released and inventory has been received and allocated to your order, standard processing generally takes:

1–3 business days

After shipment, estimated transit time is generally:

5–7 business days

Tracking information will be sent to the email address used during checkout once your order has shipped.

Orders Containing Pre-Sale and In-Stock Items

If your order contains both pre-sale products and in-stock products, the entire order may be held until all items are available for shipment.

This helps us process the order together as a single shipment.

If you would like in-stock products shipped separately, we recommend placing them as a separate order.

Payment for Pre-Sale Orders

Payment for pre-sale products is generally collected at the time the order is placed unless otherwise indicated during checkout.

Placing a pre-sale order confirms your intention to purchase and reserve the applicable product.

Product Allocation

Trading card and collectible releases may sometimes be subject to manufacturer or distributor allocation.

Although we make reasonable efforts to fulfill all confirmed pre-sale orders, supply reductions outside our control may occasionally affect availability.

If we are unable to fulfill your pre-sale order because our allocation has been reduced or canceled, we will contact you and issue a refund for the affected product to your original payment method.

We will never intentionally substitute a different product without your approval.

Pre-Sale Order Cancellations

If you wish to cancel a pre-sale order, please contact us as soon as possible at:

support@abcardscollectibles.shop

We will review your request and advise whether the order can still be canceled.

Once a pre-sale product has entered fulfillment or has shipped, cancellation may no longer be possible. The order may instead be subject to our Refund & Return Policy.

Price Changes After Purchase

The price of a pre-sale product may increase or decrease after your order has been placed because of market conditions, supplier pricing, demand, or promotional changes.

Your confirmed order will generally remain at the price you paid when the order was placed.

We do not normally provide retroactive price adjustments if the product is later offered at a lower price.

Likewise, if the price increases after your purchase, you will not normally be charged the difference for an already confirmed order.

Limited and High-Demand Products

Some pre-sale products may have limited availability.

For high-demand releases, we may:

  • Limit purchase quantities per customer or household.

  • Cancel duplicate or excessive orders.

  • Restrict orders when necessary to manage limited inventory fairly.

  • Adjust available quantities if supplier allocation changes.

If an affected paid order must be canceled, the applicable refund will be returned to the original payment method.

Trading Card Product Contents

For randomized products such as booster packs, booster boxes, bundles, and collector products, card contents are determined by the manufacturer.

AB Cards and Collectibles does not guarantee specific cards, rarities, characters, pulls, or resale value unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Packaging and Product Changes

Manufacturers may occasionally change product packaging, artwork, promotional contents, pack configuration, or other product details before release.

Product images shown during a pre-sale period may sometimes be preliminary manufacturer artwork.

If the final product differs slightly from early promotional images but remains the same advertised product, this is not necessarily considered a defect.

Delays

Pre-sale delays can occasionally occur because of:

  • Manufacturer release changes

  • Distributor delays

  • Production delays

  • Shipping or freight disruptions

  • Allocation changes

  • Severe weather

  • Other circumstances outside our reasonable control

We appreciate your patience if an upcoming release is delayed.

A delay does not mean that your order has been forgotten. Your order will remain reserved while we await available inventory unless the order is canceled or we notify you that fulfillment is no longer possible.

Address Changes

Because pre-sale orders may be placed well before shipment, please make sure your shipping information remains accurate.

If your address changes before the product ships, contact us as soon as possible:

support@abcardscollectibles.shop

We will make reasonable efforts to update your shipping address before fulfillment begins.

Once an order has shipped, we may no longer be able to change the delivery address.

Tracking Information

You will not receive tracking information immediately after placing a pre-sale order.

Tracking becomes available only after:

  1. The product has been released.

  2. Inventory has arrived and been allocated to your order.

  3. Your order has been processed for shipment.

  4. The shipping carrier has generated tracking information.

Once available, tracking details will be sent to your email address.

Returns

After a pre-sale item has been delivered, eligible returns are handled according to our Refund & Return Policy.

For sealed trading card and collectible products, the original factory seal generally must remain intact for a change-of-mind return.

Opened or unsealed randomized trading card products generally cannot be returned simply because the customer did not receive the cards or collectible value they expected.

Important Pre-Sale Notice

By purchasing a product marked Pre-Sale, Pre-Order, or similar wording, you acknowledge that:

  • The item is not currently available for immediate shipment.

  • The displayed release date is an estimate.

  • Release dates may change.

  • Manufacturer or distributor allocations may affect availability.

  • Your order will ship after inventory becomes available.

  • Tracking information will be provided only after shipment.
