Dan River Antiques

Pre-Order Policy

This Pre-Order Policy explains how presale and pre-order purchases work at Dan River Antiques. By placing a pre-order, you agree to the terms below. It works alongside our Shipping Policy, Refund & Return Policy, and Terms of Service.

What Is a Pre-Order?

A pre-order (or presale) lets you reserve a product — most often a new trading card release — before it's officially available, so you can secure sought-after product that may sell out quickly.

When Pre-Orders Ship

• Pre-order items ship on or shortly after the product's official release date, not at the time of purchase.
• The expected release date is shown on the product page and in your order confirmation email.
• Release dates are set by manufacturers and distributors and may occasionally change. If a date shifts significantly, we notify you by email.

Payment & Pricing

• Payment is collected at the time you place your pre-order, which reserves your product.
• Pre-order pricing is locked at purchase. If the market price rises or falls before release, your price will not change — and we will never cancel your order because a product's value increased.

Mixed Orders (Pre-Order + In-Stock)

If your order contains both pre-order and in-stock items, the entire order ships together once all items are available. To receive in-stock items sooner, please place them in a separate order.

Cancellations & Refunds

• Once a pre-order item has shipped, our standard Refund & Return Policy applies (30-day window, prepaid return shipping, no restocking fees).
• If a release is canceled by the manufacturer, or we are otherwise unable to fulfill your pre-order, you receive a full refund automatically.

Changes to Release Dates

Because release dates are outside our control, occasional delays can happen. A manufacturer's date change is not a defect in your order, and it doesn't obligate us beyond fulfilling your pre-order or, at your request, refunding it in full. We will always keep you informed of significant changes.
