(EU/PAL) In-Game Item Campaign with ShopTo!

[Lakukisu]

Hi there!

To everyone who is wondering if purchasing an item currently on backorder will get you the in-game items – yes, you will be provided with the codes by ShopTo.

Just make sure that the purchase you’re about to make is listed on the ShopTo campaign site and that the purchase is done during the campaign period.

Best,

But that's exactly the point people are worried about - backorders don't count as purchases until they get back in stock at which point we're charged for them. What if they don't get enough stock before the campaign ends? I, as well as many others, have only the one choice of the game card for PC. The chances of them not meeting demand is ridiculously high. This is actually concerning.

No it's cool, they responded on this. Just need to order during the campaign period, don't need your things dispatched during it. You'll still be waiting for your item codes until dispatch though whenever it is.

Potentially after the codes had expired.

Hey BillyKaplan,

If someone orders a product that's in the campaign list, but isn't in stock, they will still receive the items as soon as the item returns to stock.

In short, your desire to purchase and get in-game items will be honoured.

I'm sorry if my previous post was unclear about that.

The problem is that all the back order items are showing up as being ready in NOVEMBER, which is long after the promotion ends. If you want us to use this site and order anything from these ill prepared people then this is how to do it.

YOU MUST STATE THAT ALL ORDERS PLACED DURING THE PROMOTION WILL BE GIVEN THE CODES, EVEN IF THE ITEM IS NOT PURCHASED UNTIL AFTER THE PROMOTION DUE TO BACK ORDERS NOT ARRIVING UNTIL MID NOVEMBER


As it stands no one will be getting anymore codes because all the items on the promotion are out of stock until mid November.

Actually no they're not. That's the release date of the the item in question (as in when ShopTo started selling it). If you look carefully it actually says 2016, not 2017. Nowhere does it actually show us the expected fulfilment date.

Initially I made this mistake too though, the whole website could be a lot better designed.
