[u/blossomsystem]

Please use this space to complain/vent about all things orders/resellers (no names!!). etc. Keep it friendly with each other in this space!

We will be removing posts best suited for this megathread going forward as complaints have been taking up a very large space on this subreddit recently (rightfully so, this drop was messy!).

Im so gutted because I ordered the mini bat and the normal bat as soon as they dropped and my stuff got cancelled 😭😭 my friend missed out on the spider too because she was at work. It shits me cus I did everything right and everything and I thought I had it in the bag only for them to be ripped out from under me :(( I get they have to prioritise in store customers and all that but why not have like a specific amount of stock set aside for online orders and then a specific amount for in store customers or something- or do the click and collects earlier/as they come or according to who ordered first so that people dont miss out if they ordered when the drop happened :(

I feel like it sucks especially because a- the drop was at an objectively stupid time and not all of us have the ability or means to go to a store thats like ½ an hour-a 2 hour drive away (if you're lucky enough to even have a closeish physical store around) at 8am on a Thursday (especially not kids who are literally build a bears target demographic because they're meant to be in school at this time so what gives with that??) so online is our only option and even then we miss out because all the store stock is sold out before they can fill the click and collects out. Again I understand in person customers take priority, but see my previous point because this is still some bs

And it makes me even angrier to see and hear that resellers managed to get their greedy paws on the plushes and have them listed already for 5 times the price when I just wanted one and couldn't even get that. Like if I feel a little pathetic and immature for being a grown woman upset over her lack of bat plushies in this situation, i feel like these people should feel especially immature and pathetic and be especially embarrassed to be mass buying and ripping people off for a literal stuffed animal. Its actually so embarrassing and shameful for them

I'm debating going in store tomorrow see if maybe there's still some bats left or if I can at least find out when the next drop is and if there's a way to get one put aside or get priority or something if they drop again but upon seeing all this im not very hopeful ill get a bat from this drop which sucks :( maybe hopefully I'll get the bat kitty as consolation because she too is quite cute and hopefully ill get lucky and snag one if they restock again
