New Variant Ratios on TFAW

at least you dont have to pay taxes

Seems like they are over selling their expected supply. Some stuff we donā€™t know anything spec wise pre Foc. I might as well order somewhere else if this keeps happening.

And gets a $3 discountā€¦ I want a $3 discount :wink:

Dang, and I thought my orders were bigā€¦you win sir, you win!

Thatā€™s insane. People donā€™t buy elsewhere cause they are expecting a book from them and then you totally miss out when they donā€™t send stuff.

As Larry David would say, ā€œthatā€™s BIG. HUGE! HUUUUUUUUUGE!ā€

I donā€™t mind it as much if itā€™s for books ordered post-FOC. I completely understand their reasoning and I suppose itā€™s fair game to me.

Just gotta get those orders in pre-FOC. Iā€™ve yet to be shorted on any books ordered from TFAW pre-FOC.

I hear you. But itā€™s like throwing darts at a board ordering everything that early. Plus, now we have all these exclusives being added after Foc, ruining our pre orders.

Back in stock alert for anyone who missed outā€¦
Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1 (Black Armor Variant)

Punchline and Vaude Villains #1 (Cover C - Messias 5 Copy Free In)

Eden One Shot (10 Copy Tony Harris Variant)

We never over sell orders. Whatā€™s more likely is the shipment comes in with damages or shortages. At which point thereā€™s more orders than copies.

The system we currently have (after lots of trial and error to figure out whatā€™s fair) goes

  1. 1 copy to every pre-FOC order (in order)
  2. Fill every pre-FOC order (in order)
  3. 1 to every post-FOC order (in order)
  4. Fill every post-FOC order (in order)

What we didnā€™t account for was that damages and shortages would grow more and moreā€¦ To the point where just about every weekly release has some or the other now. So we may reexamine it. But I still feel like itā€™s the best possible combination to be fair to everyone (so one person pre ordering 500 copies of something doesnā€™t totally kill every oneā€™s chance to read it).
