Wacky Packages Old School - PRE-SALE THREAD - non-spoiler!

[slamjim]

What will the regular price be for these?

I think $49.95 (if you're talking about the boxes, not the posters). Not sure about the posters.

**Note if you are from anywhere else than the USA contact Topps by phone and make your order as I don't know how this works with foreign orders.**

I am not getting free shipping on these?

[eman]

Thanks.  I just ordered 5 boxes.

[Liptorn]

Same here. They are charging for shipping.

[NEZHEAD42]

I just ordered my five.

[Taz]

Same here. They are charging for shipping.

Same here. are they charging for less than 5?  Anyone who ordered 5 can you confirm?

[Joe G.]

Same here.  It said to use WACKY2 promo code for free shipping but for the life of me there was no where to do it.  

[Sunstroke]

I am trying to order 3, they are charging me. Have not completed it yet.

[NEZHEAD42]

I got free shipping. Use code WACKY2

[eman]

Same here. They are charging for shipping.

Did you enter the promo of Wacky2?  It seems like I had a problem with this with OLDS 1 when I tried paying by PayPal.  I had to checkout using a credit card through Topps and use the wacky2 promo code this time but got free shipping when I did that.

[wacked]

It looks like if you pay with paypal they don't give you an option to put in the free shipping code. I had to put it on credit card so I could enter the code.

[Swiski]

I got free shipping. You need to use the WACKY2 promo card listed on the pre-order page.

It has to be typed in lower case for it to work. I just ordered 5 boxes and got free shipping. I'm sleepy.

[Sunstroke]

I am trying to use paypal, that could be it. That sux though, I don't want these on a card  

[CherryBombs]

I just ordered 6 boxes and checked out with Paypal and I never got the option to use the code : (

[Sunstroke]

it worked on my card, not paypal. Now to go pay $135 off of my card.  

[Bladerunner]

Just bought 5 boxes and paid with my CC...the promo code WACKY2 worked with all capital letters.

[Plastered Peanut]

Thanks for posting the promo code.  For some reason I missed that.  Just ordered 5 boxes with my credit card and got the free shipping.

Same here.  It said to use WACKY2 promo code for free shipping but for the life of me there was no where to do it.

They are down to 700 pre-orders already. Good luck. I have about 75 boxes coming in now. Should be fun. Although I did get free shipping on 5 orders of 10 boxes. I also had to pay almost $300 for shipping to get 12 boxes overnighted and another 15 boxes 2nd day air. Although the free shipping and the discount helps with the cost. I can't sit her for 5 days waiting for my boxes while you easterners open all the goods

I realized the code would not work with paypal so I used my paypal debit mastercard which did the trick and hit my paypal account just the same.

Man, I wish Topps would tell me about all these little intricate payment things so I can just put these details in the email and the posts to avoid any hassles. I'm sure I'm going to get a number of emails now about free shipping issues.

[Sunstroke]

Don't sweat it, hopefully this thread helped spill that out. I just took the money out of paypal, sent it to my bank, and paid the credit card in 5 minutes.

75 boxes? Good lord! What did you do, tap your kids college funds?

There are another 150-200 (roughly) people I sent the link to by email as well so who knows if they have any questions.

OK, so will you adopt any of us Uncle Brad?

Andrew

Yeah, same here. When I realized Paypal was not going to give an opportunity to use the Promo code, I backed out and used my Discover card. I ordered 5 boxes... extravagant by some measures... humble by others (75 boxes, really?).

sorry for your grief then.  

[Sue Mee]

They have always been good about refunding the shipping.  This happened before.

[carpedownload]

I'm up in Canada so I hope I can call in them in the morning directly to figure out shipping before they're all gone!  Getting WP stuff up here is always a challenge!  In fact - ironically, I only just managed to get my retail WP ANS7 boxes just today!  

[BumChex]

Actually it's now over 100. I bought about 275 OLDS boxes and in the end I didn't spend a dime and I think I have a great collection. I have all B&W except for the cow and I also have one B&W from the poster. I sure hope buying them all now hasn't hurt me as it did other collectors with OLDS and not getting anything special with 100 box purchase. I purchased all small lots of 10-15 boxes to hopefully get a random mix. I really don't know if that will happen and I could be totally killed on this series.
If you are a collector that is content with not having everything and sell to feed your passion than my strategy will work.

Don't beat yourself up over this. I'm sure they may not be aware of it either since it's probably tough to check every payment option for code purchasing. I'm surprise that using this link they didn't have free standard shipping as the basic option for all payment methods. Seems kinda strange that a company couldn't assume that a private sale would have this option built in?

[BumChex]

Holy Crap! I just tried to order 360 and it said they didn't have that many. I'm sure glad we all go in on the pre-orders because this will be sold out early! I know they must have had about 1000 to pre-order. This is fantastic for Dave and Topps!
