Zecora TRU PreOrder Disaster.
« on: August 10, 2012, 04:00:10 PM »
I know this has been brought up in the Corral thread, but I think we need a thread here to keep track of what's going on.

Apparently TRU shipped ponies out to the stores before fulfilling preorders. Now people are getting this email:

Unbelieveable  :shocked:

What was the date that you pre-ordered on?  I am asking because I ordered mine on July 14th and I have not received an email....yet.

you know, I bet Hasbro orders theirs from their suppliers just like stores do. I am not totally sure, if the delay is their fault?

The preorder was through TRU, not Hasbro. Toys r us has already released these to be sold in stores yet all preorders are back ordered. :/

I got that email as well.  Might not ever pre-order from them again if this is how they play.  It is better to stalk the stores than to possibly have your order canceled and not get one because you pre-ordered.

Well, that settles it; no preorders from TRU for me, unless it won't be sold in stores for some reason. They did this with the MH werecat twin exclusive as well. They didn't email any cancellation offers, but none of the people who pre-ordered got them until they'd been in most stores for a week or so. I thought it was a fluke at the time, but it looks like it might be a pattern.

I'm sorry to hear you guys are having this issue :(

I emailed TRU, and that's not something I normally do. I'm not a complainer, but unless they ship a truckload of them to the TRU near me (and by near, I mean almost an hour away), I probably won't be able to get up there in time to get one.

So I just went to Toys R Us and asked about Zecora and the collector's/ fan favorite set. Not only had nobody seen either one, but neither was even in the system yet. All the other current toys were out, including Cadance, Whitelestia, and all the other wedding toys. I am super disappointed, and I feel really bad for those of you with preorders. :(

Oh that is awful :( I have preordered from TRU 5 or 6 times in the past and had that happen 3 of those times. The worst part was 2 of those 3 times I got a follow up email saying the item was not available for shipping anymore. That just sucks :( so sorry everyone.
