How much is delivery?
Every order pays standard delivery, Mystery Boxxes included. You choose at checkout:
- National courier: R119. Delivered to your door, 3-5 working days after we ship.
- Pudo locker: R79. Collected from the Pudo locker you choose. When you pick Pudo at checkout, we ask for the locker number or name.
Do I need a Pudo locker number?
Yes. When you choose Pudo locker delivery at checkout, we ask for the number or name of the Pudo locker you want your order sent to. The order cannot be placed without it.
How soon will my order ship?
- Mystery Boxxes: about two weeks. Every Boxx is personalised, so after your order (or your subscription’s renewal payment) we need about two weeks to source the items and ship it.
- Everything else in stock: within one to two business days. Singles, sealed product, items from the Vault and comics.
- Pre-orders: when the stock arrives. We ship them as soon as the stock reaches us.
Once your order has left us, the courier takes 3-5 working days.
When do pre-orders ship?
Pre-order items will be shipped only when every item in the order is in stock. For customers wishing to purchase both in-stock items and pre-order items, we recommend placing separate orders. See our Terms and Conditions.
Do you deliver outside South Africa?
No. We deliver within South Africa only, by national courier (R119) or to a Pudo locker (R79).
Can I track my parcel?
Yes. When your order ships, we email you the courier’s tracking link. It is also on the order in My Account.
Can I collect my order?
No. We are an online shop, so every order goes by courier or to a Pudo locker of your choice.
How do you pack cards?
Every single and graded card is packed to protect it: a penny sleeve and a semi-rigid card holder for a single, then bubble wrap, a plastic container, and bubble wrap again around the container.
What if my parcel arrives damaged or something is missing?
Email us at [email protected] with photos within 48 hours of delivery, and we will put it right.
Orders and pre-orders
How does a pre-order work?
You pay the full price when you order, and the price is locked in. We ship your pre-order as soon as the stock reaches us. Release dates come from our suppliers and can move, especially for Pokémon products; we keep you posted by email and on our WhatsApp channel.
Can I order pre-orders and in-stock items together?
You can, but the whole order then ships when every item in it is in stock. To get your in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders.
Why can I only buy one or two of some products?
Some products, often popular pre-orders, have a limit per order. The limit is shown on the product page and the cart stops there.
Can I cancel a pre-order?
Yes, by email at any time before it ships. We refund what you paid less a 10% admin fee, which covers payment costs we cannot get back. There is no fee within the 7-day cooling-off period, or if the delay is ours: if a pre-order has not shipped within 30 days after the release date shown when you ordered, you can cancel for a full refund. If a supplier cannot deliver at all, we refund you in full.
Can I cancel an order?
Yes, by email to [email protected] within 48 hours of paying, as long as we have not started packing it. We refund what you paid, including delivery, less a 10% admin fee. The fee does not apply within the 7-day cooling-off period after delivery, for faulty goods, or when we cancel.
How do I pay?
Through PayFast: card, Instant EFT, Capitec Pay and the other methods PayFast offers. We never see or store your card details.
Returns and refunds
Can I return something I changed my mind about?
For most products, yes: you may cancel within 7 days after you receive the goods, without a reason. Email us within that time, then send the item back unused, in its original condition and packaging. You pay the return postage; we refund the full price, including the original delivery charge.
Can I return a Mystery Boxx?
A Mystery Boxx is personalised for you, so the 7-day cooling-off right does not apply by law. We still accept an unopened, unused Boxx in its original packaging within 7 days of delivery, for a refund or an exchange.
What if something is faulty?
Tell us within one month of delivery. You choose whether we repair it, replace it or refund you, and we pay for the return. This applies to everything we sell, Mystery Boxxes and pre-orders included. The normal condition of a collectible as described and photographed (for example a vintage comic’s condition or a graded card’s grade) is not a fault.
How do I return something?
Email [email protected] with your order number and the reason. We send you a Return Authorization Number to put in the parcel. For high-value items we recommend a trackable, insured service.
How long does a refund take?
Once your return arrives we inspect it and email you. Approved refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days at most; we aim for 7 days.
Cards and authenticity
Are your cards and products genuine?
Yes. We buy most of our TCG products from SolarPop, and we are licensed to sell them. Every single and graded card is photographed front and back, and the photos are of the card you receive. All single cards are either pack-to-sleeve from the stock we receive from SolarPop, or sourced through other licensed stores/vendors.
What do NM, LP, MP and HP mean?
They describe a card’s condition: Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played and Heavily Played. Each card’s page states its condition. Our guide Pokémon card conditions and grading explained explains each grade.
Who grades your graded cards?
An independent grading company, named on the slab’s label together with the grade (for example PSA). The grade is theirs, not ours. You can check the slab’s certification number on the grading company’s website.
Do you sell Japanese cards?
Yes. Some of our singles and packs are Japanese, and they say “Japanese” in their name. They are genuine Pokémon (or One Piece) cards, printed for the Japanese market, and popular with collectors. If you want to play with them in official tournaments, check the event’s rules on card languages first.
Will the card I receive be the one in the photo?
Yes. Singles and graded cards are one of one, and their photos are of that exact card, front and back.
What happens to sold-out singles?
They stay in the binder, marked sold, for 60 days, then leave the shop. New singles are announced on our WhatsApp channel first.
