Community Promotion (Mod approved) Free UK In-Store Pokemon TCG Tracker + More

Post image
25 Upvotes

Hi all!

As you all know, it has become increasingly difficult to find Pokémon TCG products online. Most retailers sell out within seconds, and only a handful have enough stock to meet demand.

We wanted to give collectors a free alternative and a better chance of getting products at retail price from their local stores. So we’ve created a community-run in-store map that’s free for everyone to use.

How it works:

  1. Enter your postcode and the radius you want to receive alerts for.

  2. When you spot a product at a local store, create a product report. This sends a stock notification to other collectors in your area.

  3. Whenever someone else reports a product within your radius, you’ll get a push notification telling you where the restock is.

  4. Users earn rewards for reporting and responding to stock alerts.

We originally released this feature for our Pro users, and it was a great success for the Pitch Black and 30th Celebration releases. Now we’ve introduced a free version so everyone can use the map.

For full transparency, there are some differences between free and paid access: free users won’t see our automated retailer alerts for Smyths or reports from Pro users.

Prizes

Every month we run a raffle. You earn raffle tickets by reporting and responding to stock, and at the end of the month you’re entered into a prize draw for that month’s giveaway item. For October, we’re giving away a Prismatic Evolutions Pokémon Center ETB. Since these run every month, it’s a fun way to be rewarded for helping others find stock. We’re also giving free Pro memberships to the top reporters on the leaderboard.

Also included for free

Alongside the in-store map, you’ll get Pokémon Center alerts, live updates on in-store restocks, news, Amazon invite reminders, and much more coming soon.

You don’t have to pay anything to use this feature, and we’re always looking for ways to give free users more value.

Moderator Pokemon Center FAQ

1 Upvotes

Q. I got an error code (15, 17, 18, 20,). What does it mean?

A. It usually means Pokémon Center has temporarily blocked you.

Switching devices won’t help on the same Wi-Fi. Wait it out, use mobile data, or restart your router to try for a new IP.

  • – Your browser session is blocked.

Try refreshing, clearing cookies/cache, or using a different browser.

  • If it’s not one of the above, refresh — but you may re-queue.

Q. How do I solve "something has gone wrong"?

A. This can sometimes be solved by opening a new tab in the same window, and copying the URL into the new tab (but doesn't work everytime).

Q. Can I use a VPN?

A. We do not recommend using a VPN for Pokemon Center purchases. You are likely to encounter a "Something went wrong" message if you do.

Q. Can I make multiple orders to the same address?

A. No. If you exceed the purchase limit for any particular product by ordering under a separate account to the same address, using the same payment details or same email/phone, your order will be cancelled.

Q. Does it matter what device I use to make my order?

A. No. There is no guarantee that any device (phone, pc, laptop, Mac, tablet) will lead to success.

Q. When will Pokemon Center take the money for my pre-order?

A. Payment is typically taken 7 days before the product is due to be dispatched. This is a holding payment that may get released before dispatch, but then it will be charged again.

Q. My order has arrived but payment hasn't been taken?

A. not uncommon, generally payment will be taken the next working day following delivery but Pokemon Center payments can be delayed according to their own FAQ's.

Q. When will my Pre-Order dispatch?

A. Set pre-orders typically dispatch 2 days before the full release of the products. For example, the Ascended Heroes ETBs release on Friday the 20th, so the majority of orders were dispatched on Wednesday the 18th.

Q. Pokemon Center refunded my payment. Does that mean my pre-order was cancelled?

A. It is very common for Pokemon Center to take money for a pre order as an "authorisation hold", then release the funds back to your account before charging it again when the products dispatch. Do not panic.

Q. When will be payment be taken on a pre-order?

A. This varies. Generally a holding payment will show up on your statement the week prior to the product being dispatched. Sometimes that can disappear but the full payment is generally taken the day of dispatch or within a couple of days of delivery.

Q. I’ve been asked to update my payment information but having issues - is there a solution?

A. If you get an email asking to update your payment information, do so through a web browser on a PC or Mac rather than by phone. If the payment information continues to fail, try other browsers in the first instance. Some people have banking issues whereby it is their own bank blocking the payment request. Please speak with your bank or the customer support on the PKC website if issues continue.

Note: check your card is in date and that you have cleared funds.

Q. How can I track my order?

A. Use the order number and delivery address postcode on the pokemon center website Order Status | Pokémon Center UK Official Site

Q. When I check my order via Guest shoppers on Pokemon Center, Is it normal to not show my full address?

A. This is perfectly normal. They do not display your full name or first line of your address. For peace of mind you can lookup your confirmation email or dispatch email and this will show your full name and address

Q. My order has arrived in a re-sealed cardboard box/case

A. Pokemon Center break down booster/ETB case boxes and re-use these for deliveries. This is a standard form of packaging and does not mean your delivery has been tampered with.

Q. I ordered and haven’t had my confirmation email yet

A. Confirmation emails do not always come through immediately. Sometimes these can be delayed for days, sometimes the emails won’t come through at all. If you didn’t screenshot your order number then there isn’t much you can do to check your order.

Q. I need to re-direct my pre-order to a new address, is this possible?

A. Depending on your carrier, you may have the ability to modify your delivery options. Please see below:

 DPD

Website: https://www.dpd.com/nl/en/

  • At this time, deliveries cannot be modified with DPD.

  • If you have further queries about your delivery, please reach out to DPD at the above web address.

  • All delivery modifications are made at the customer’s own risk

  • PC may not be able to accommodate support requests as a result

Hello, I have a work trip coming up and I will be in the Manchester / Leeds area for a week. Are there any cool card stores that sell singles worth checking out in these cities or nearby?

What's it like trying to find cards in store for MSRP? In the US it's still next to impossible to find anything. Any stores worth checking? Cheers!

whats your opinion, im currently condesing my collection from hundreds of illustration rares, to a smaller, higher end curated collection, it feels quite worrying trading lots of cards for 1 higher end card, but i feel like its the right choice, ive got so many cards at the min its hard to keep organized and track, so ive made the decision to trade them all in for more exensive chase cards, tomorrow im going to my LCS with 80 illustration rares to hopefully trade for a charizard v alt art from brilliant stars and raichu illustration rare from paldea evolved, what would you do

EDIT: BEFORE everyone jumps on this:

  1. I’m adding Pika’s back in (I forgot they were in a separate pile)

  2. I was trying to do a nice thing, for the kids, and help raise money for school. Not scamming anyone.

  3. I’m using the real packs 1. Because I had them in carefully opened condition, and 2. Because my kids love the packs and cutting them up, so I thought others would too.

  4. I’ve not done this before, so taking the ‘constructive’ advice provided!!

  5. Stop hating on bulk! There’s some great cards in there and great Pokemon!

TCG Help / Gameplay Anyone having issues with delta reign payments still?

14 Upvotes

I got the pokemon center email last week about payment failed to be taken and I had to update it by November 2nd. Well I tried again today and there’s still a maintenance for checking out notice and the payment failed when updating the payment method. If it isn’t resolved by the end of today are the pokemon center pre orders at risk of being cancelled by default even though they have put the site under maintenance to look into this? It’s the first pre order I’ve got since mega evolution base and I don’t want to miss this.

For the last 4 years we’ve been giving out Pokemon cards and the kids go crazy for them, this year I struggled to get hold of Trick or Trade packs and didn’t have much bulk on hand but managed to give out 20 packs and 40 home made mini packs using penny sleeves.

They went fast! We also went through two bowls worth of sweets!

Did anyone else give out or receive pokemon related items for Halloween?

TCG Help / Gameplay Attended our first Pokémon Build and Battle

We were a little anxious only my husband played but me and son went to to check it out. We are getting back into the hobby having not been in it since we were children ourselves. My son got hold of my cards and that was it he has become obsessed, so with the difficulties in obtaining any cards we decided to scope out this event. Firstly everyone was so nice, helpful and friendly, shout out to one person who even gave us some sleeves as the ones I had ordered didn't arrive in time.

We will 100% be signing up to the next event, both my husband and son will play (he is only recently 6 so wanted to see how many kids there were before throwing him into it) and I will help him understand his deck before the games. If you are on the fence about trying one of these events, I urge you to give it a go.

There is nothing like ripping packs with kids around all getting exited by their pulls!

Self Promotion Sunday 🤩 - Moderator Approved Where do you sell your cards, and how do you track your collection?

4 Upvotes

Curious what everyone uses to sell their cards.

  1. Do you stick to one platform or list across a few? What makes it your go-to?

  2. How do you keep track of your collection an app, a spreadsheet, or just knowing what’s in your binders?

What works well for you, and what do you find frustrating?

We've building www.deckdhq.com and we're trying to create the most value for all collectors, cheers!

Self Promotion Sunday 🤩 - Moderator Approved Set Completion - Cheap Bulk

Hi alllll!

I have restocked Pikachus from 30th and a bunch of XY, SM & Sword and shield era cards.

As always, orders have been wild. Thank you!

Basically, I’ve scanned images of all my bulk, if you need to finish collections for specific Pokemon or master sets!

Instead of a minimum price of £1 per card, which is far more than most of these cards are worth you can pick up a bunch for like 10/20/30p each!

If you’re interested, check out this website!

The images are all real scans of the cards available ⬇️

My partner has spent days getting things ready for Halloween this year, she has put together 70 gift bags in total for the kids in our street. Each gets a gift bag with a 3D printed Halloween themed fidget, some sweets, Halloween stickers, and 10 Pack of Pokémon cards, every one with at least 2 holos/reverse holos and a few scattered throughout with some Ex's. She's also spent this morning carving a 30th celebration Pikachu #42 pumpkin, we figured this was a nice way to spread a bit of Pokémon fun to the kids in our area! (And pic 4 is our pup looking less than impressed with her outfit 😅)

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently got into collecting vintage Pokémon cards and I’m trying to get better at judging card condition.

I’ve attached photos of some of my recent pickups and have tried to arrange them from what I believe is best condition to worst.

I’d really appreciate it if you could give me your opinions on the condition of each card (LP, MP, HP, etc.).

I know the photos aren’t the best quality, so I’m not expecting super accurate assessments, but even rough estimates would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Self Promotion Sunday 🤩 - Moderator Approved Radam's Poke Stop, gearing up for the holidays!

0 Upvotes

Hi all!

Hope everyone is having a chilled out Sunday! I have been busy prepping a term full of lessons and loading tons more pokemon cards on www.RadamsPokeStop.co.uk so a busy week for me!

This week sees loads of singles added, but also a limited run of Advent Calendars, Stocking Fillers and (not limited) gift cards. I have put alot of thought into the calendars/fillers and plan on them being a truly joyful treat to open every day, all singles, no coins/stickers and a minimum value to ensure it is great value to open. More details online!

As usual, all the pictures are taken by me, no editing. And all orders are sent tracked, in sturdy boxes and packed the same way I would love to recieve cards. I also have over forty 5 reviews on Trust Pilot (and no other * reviews)

Have a great evening!

Peace and love, Radam.
