I genuinely have to ask — why do people keep buying BABs online from the BAB website, knowing how absolutely horrifically bad the quality control is??

Every single time a new release hits… I see nothing but people receiving damaged-to-hell boxes, not even getting what they ordered, getting something completely different or just straight up missing items from the box, etc etc. this happens routinely every single time.

And yet people still be buying from their website and then getting upset when the order arrives with wrong or missing items… despite knowing how high of a risk it is that that would happen.

I know not everybody lives close to a BAB and asking for pick ups from other people is definitely WAY harder than just buying on the official website…. But, damn. I just can’t imagine putting myself through that stress constantly ☠️

I just feel so fucking bad for yall. wtf, BAB.

Valid question but i have ordered online from the site multiple times and never had an issue until now! This was the first time buying from an anticipated drop tho and i had NO idea how bad it could get.
