Sideshow Preorder Charges

[bettycooks]

I've read their preorder policy and I'm very happy to hear that they don't charge your card months before an item ships.

Their policy states:

"The big benefit here is that you can reserve the item at no cost to you until the item is ready to ship. We do not tie up your funds by requesting full payment far in advance or by requiring an outrageous deposit. This ultimately leaves more cash in your pocket"

That's sooo funny, I think it's a knock at Cinequest who charges for their items months and months in advance!!!

And Wizard magazine which requires a 50% non-refundable (!) deposit for some of their stuff.

I agree with you. I don't like to have to pay for something almost a year in advance just to "guarantee" it for myself. The Sideshow way is the same, the only difference is the not paying right away.

[bettycooks]

Right, it's better that way.

The wizard 50% non-refundable deposit is crazy!!!!!!!

[CowboyGuy]

Hmm, I didn't know about the 50% deposit. Can you explain it to me? Like you have to pay 50% right away that you can never get back?

I just bought 2 buffy figures from Wizard and I did not see anything about a 50% charge... Explain this please.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that CineQuest won't be charging preorders anymore... or maybe that was just for the 12" Vamp Spike?
