Preorder FAQs
A preorder lets you reserve a copy of a game before it actually arrives. We only make copies that we're guaranteed to get available for preorder - the number of available copies shown above is the number of copies that haven't been claimed yet.
If a preorder is sold out, it means all of the copies we've been guaranteed so far have been claimed. But there's always a chance we'll be able to get more - click the "Notify me when available" button above to get an email as soon as more are released!
We cannot guarantee any product's arrival date. We'll give you a best guess, as given to us by distributors and publishers, but these may be (and often are) subject to changes and delays.
The stock listed for preorder items is the number of copies we'll be receiving that have not yet been claimed.
For example, if we are expecting to receive 20 copies of an item and 12 have already been preordered by other customers, our site will show 8 copies available - even though they aren't physically in our store yet.
There are a few places where our website says these items are “in stock” - these are artifacts of our website platform and the wording is unfortunately out of our control. Rest assured, we aren’t holding out on you!
Almost certainly yes. We make every effort to avoid over-promising products, so we only take preorders for the quantities we have confirmed from our suppliers.
In extremely rare cases a supplier may short us on our order due to a production or allocation error. When this happens we will honour preorders in the order we received them and contact customers to advise them of the situation and make things right.
We will hold the shipment until everything has arrived. Once everything in your order is present and accounted for, we’ll send them all in one package. If you prefer to ship the items separately, please contact us at hello@raincity.games and we can help you out.
We will make your items ready as soon as we can - we will email you when the in-stock items are ready for pickup, then send you another email when the preorder item arrives.
Preorders may be cancelled at any time; please send an email to hello@raincity.games and we can help you with that.
Note that this policy does NOT apply to any preorders for TCG products or for Magic: The Gathering singles due to their constantly fluctuating values.
Send us an email at hello@raincity.games and we'll see what we can do!
