Delayed and damaged products

I placed a pre-order for some new Chinese products, which then shipped almost a month late. There was no communication about the delay unless I explicitly reached out to ask what was going on.
Eventually once the products did ship they arrived damaged with big dents on the corner of the boxes. Customer service said they were not able to help since the contents of the boxes were probably fine. However it is common in the pokemon space to keep sealed items and I had aoecially bought 2 so I could open one and keep one for my sealed collection.

I really dont find the communication about the delay or the response to damaged products to be acceptable.

Ordered on 16th May

Ordered on 16th May, still haven’t received my order. When I check stock levels they have 1 of 3 items in stock at any one time. items sold rather than put away to honour back orders. Every week same reply. Stock coming next week. But they then sell the other items that were in stock then say we won’t send your order until it’s complete. Will just stick to magic madhouse and chaos cards in future.

I used to love these guys

I used to love these guys. 4 years has past and now I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. You can pretty much forget getting any English product. They seem to hoard them. Now all we get is Japanese/Chinese/SK product and it's massively overpriced. These guys have turned into scalpers and it's not OK. Avoid them, especially if things ever go back to normal - scalpers need to learn.

Avoid if selling .The selling option needs alot of work.

The selling option needs alot of work.
I sent in a bundle any they only offered 10% of the miminmal value of the bundle. Now I now this is a business and you need to make money but you need to make fairer offers.
I also paid a processing fee so I expected my cards to be delt with with care however when retued all my AR and SAR cars were left out of the protective packing and everything was just thrown in the box without any care. Im horrified how you can charge people and still treat their products like this, also i had items missing on my parcels return.

Great

It is my first time using this company to support my new Pokemon hobby and so far no issues or problems. Contacted customer support, whom got back to me really quick. Received my all my orders with no problem as well.

Satisfied customer

I recently ordered a few times from this company. I ordered a couple of Yu-Gi-Oh booster boxes that were already in stock. The whole process was excellent, very fast delivery, items arrived safely and thankfully they use a very reliable courier service to deliver my items

Paid over RRP, still waiting

Paid over RRP for a current product. Ordered 9th of April on the back of a "Restocks just Dropped" email.

After a week of receiving no tracking, I contacted TotalCards to be told the product would be "shipping tomorrow"

That was last week, still waiting for my order, or any tracking information.

When I ordered, there was no "Shipping On" date, nor was it stated as a Back Order. The email clearly stated a Restock had happened, not an order for stock...

I genuinely wouldn't mind if it was clear at the time of order, or if it stated this in the order confirmation. Instead I had to email to find out what was going on. The staff were friendly, but that's a shocking level of service.

They don't care

Order is 2 months late and there isn't even a sense that the place cares. The customer service team is abysmal. With a 2 month delay all I get is "maybe in the next few weeks". I can't remember the last time I dealt with an online shop with this level of customer satisfaction indifference. Ridiculous.

Awful company

Awful company, made an order and then cancelled it hours later. They still sent it out and charged me, their chat system is a stupid AI chatbot and they never reply to you, waste of time dealing with them, avoid and user other card retailers.

Update 29/01: It has been 10days since I sent multiple message via their online chat, still not had any reply. Zero customer service, like talking to a wall. Avoid, avoid avoid.

Items on "pre-order"

I don't want to be harsh but I feel they should make it more clear on their website that a product is on back order, as I didn't see anything indicating that when I made my purchase - I bought the last item "in stock", which implies that they have the stock. There was no mention of a pre-order when I made the purchase

Only found out after waiting a month and then contacting customer service that they "are still waiting on our supplier to receive their delivery of this from the manufacturer (these are still on pre-order with us)."

It might be in their terms and conditions somewhere, but I feel it should be made more clear when making the purchase

5 stars for the gaming centre staff. 1 star overall.

The people who work in the gaming centre (the shop front) are lovely. There are some of the admin and warehouse staff that are also lovely. That's it. For the sake of not being sued, that's where I'll leave it. Personally, I wouldn't provide my money to this company ever again.

Pre order not delivered

Made a pre order with this company years ago, did not deliver, did not even bother to contract me about it.... upon contacting them they were unable to give me any kind of concrete info as to what was going on, just the usual copy paste careless responses. Decided to give them another chance recently with a pre order, since it had been years since the last time, thought maybe they had improved in that time... but nope... once again let down... meanwhile other stores showing the product as in stock, avoid this company they are a joke and will leave you utterly frustrated. They also try and weasel their way out of negative feedback on here, taking no accountability for how bad they are... watch them also do it with this review.

Used to order from here a lot over the last couple of years. But since the craziness of trying to buy Pokemon cards Total Cards have become greedy in my opinion and charging over inflated prices at times. Initially they always came up the cheapest matched with great customer service. Now despite saying there is free shipping, this is not the case when a new set drops.

Fantastic service, quick email response to a problem while ordering and then quick delivery with the product being very well packaged, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Customer Service & Product

Recieved my Mega Evolutions packs on release day quick and easy.
Then they apologised for the late distribution of Lucario ETBs (not their fault) and with a change of circumstances I asked if they could amend my order and cancel one ETB and they were SO helpful and obliged even though it's so close to shipping I imagine.
Highly highly reccomend, responded to as soon as the work week started and the customer service is fantastic

Placed an order this evening only to have it cancelled on the false pretence that I had put in a cancellation request myself. Appalling service.

Hi David

Thank you so much for leaving a Trustpilot review, we really appreciate you taking the time! I’m so sorry for the trouble with your order; that’s not the experience we want for anyone. The item showed up online because of a system glitch, the stock wasn't actually available and we had to cancel orders once this was picked up.

The email you got was automated, sorry again for the confusion! We’re already reviewing this to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Thanks for your understanding, and we hope you’ll give us another chance soon, if you ever need anything else, our support team are always happy to help!

Kind Regards
Ryan

Pre-Order not recived

Pre-orded an item, no comunication to say it would be delayed, had to chase twice for an update. Other retailers had the item in stock (I pad extra and money upfront! for express delivery).. In my opionion they couldn't complete the pre-order allocation and just sat on it hoping for new batch to come through.. AT LEAST BE HONEST! i have 2 further orders with them.. Frankly im not hold up much hope!

Hi Monica

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review on Trustpilot. We truly appreciate all feedback as it helps us improve our processes moving forward.

I’d like to take a moment to clarify the details regarding your order. From what I can see, you contacted us once, and during this correspondence we explained that your item was being imported directly from Japan and dates were subject to change. Unfortunately, international shipments can sometimes experience slight delays, as was the case here. We updated all affected customers as soon as we received confirmation from our couriers about the revised delivery date, which was only on Friday.

I did mentioned in our email, not all retailers source their stock from the same suppliers, so arrival times can differ and I do apologise once again for this happening. In this instance, the delay was not due to waiting on a new batch, but rather the shipment itself being held up in transit. The stock arrived with us on Monday, and most orders were dispatched that same day, though by that time, you had already asked for a refund, which I can see I sorted for you swiftly.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be when expected release dates shift, especially with Pokémon products where delays and allocations have been more common recently. Please be assured that we always aim to remain as transparent as possible when it comes to international arrivals and stock updates.

Once again, I’m sorry this experience wasn’t ideal, and we’ll make sure your other order is shipped out as soon as possible. We truly hope you’ll give us another chance, and thank you again for your feedback.

Kind Regards
Ryan
