1. Are Sports Cards Eligible?
Sports Cards are NOT eligible, but we are currently offering a 13% off discount for all Sports Card Products, excluding Pre-Order products. This discount cannot be combined with our Loyalty Program discounts or any other discount. This discount will run through December 31st, 2024.
2. Will my Pre-Order products be eligible?
Pre-Order products with release dates during the period are eligible. Pre-Order products with release dates after the period are ineligible. For products without firm release dates that we cannot confirm will release within the period, they will not be eligible.
For orders that contain both eligible products and ineligible Pre-Order products, our standard policy is to hold your order until all products are available. All eligible products that are in stock are made available to you; by electing to include ineligible Pre-Order products, you understand your eligible products are made available to you, but will be held until all products become available to ship. Should you wish to split your order into multiple shipments, it will require the purchase of an additional $10.95 shipping charge if the items being sent do not meet the $165 free shipping threshold.
Please be aware that tax is charged for shipping services. You will still see tax on your order, even if it contains only eligible products, if you purchase a shipping charge.
We are actively working to adjust our catalog system to ensure everything is ready and functional. However, due to the rapid implementation of this change during an already busy holiday period, it is possible that some oversights or adjustments may be needed.
We thank you for your understanding and encourage you to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thanks, 401 Games
