How pre-orders work

Reserve your copy
Pre-orders are paid in full at checkout, so your copy is set aside the moment you order.

First come, first served
If we receive fewer units than we ordered, pre-orders are filled in the order they were placed. If we can't fill yours, you get a full refund within 14 days.

Pre-ordering TCG products at Pack Theory
Pre-orders let you secure booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, bundles and starter decks before release day. New sets are listed as soon as the publisher confirms a release date, and the expected date is shown on every product page.
Release dates are set by manufacturers and distributors and can move. If a date changes, we let you know.
Questions
When am I charged for a pre-order?
Pre-orders are paid in full at checkout, so your copy is reserved straight away.
What if a set has limited allocation?
Some popular sets are released in limited quantities, and the distributor decides how many each shop receives. If we receive fewer than we ordered, pre-orders are filled in the order they were placed (first come, first served). If we can't fill yours, you get a full refund within 14 days.
Can I order in-stock items with a pre-order?
Yes. At checkout you choose to ship everything together once the pre-order is released, or to ship in-stock items now and the pre-order later for an extra delivery charge.
Can I cancel a pre-order?
Yes. A voluntary cancellation may carry an 8% fee, which never applies where your statutory consumer rights apply or if we cancel. See the Pre-Order Policy for details.
