Shipping, returns and privacy
Plain words on how the shop works. Questions on any of it? Write to outoftheashe@gmail.com.
Shipping
- Orders ship for a flat $4.99, free when the cards come to $50.00 or more. Cards go out sleeved, in a rigid mailer, with tracking; the number is emailed the moment the parcel leaves.
- Every card is pulled and checked against the order before it is packed. Where we have photographed the exact copy, it is shown on your order page.
- Cards are first come, first served. If one sells while you are checking out, the whole order stops and nothing is charged; you are told which card and can go again.
Returns and refunds
- If a card arrives other than as described, tell us within 14 days of delivery and we'll make it right: a replacement where we have one, otherwise a full refund of that card, return postage on us.
- Change of mind: unopened, undamaged singles can come back within 14 days of delivery for a refund of the cards; return postage is yours.
- Refunds go back to the card that paid, and any store credit used goes back on your ledger. Card refunds usually show within a few business days.
- Orders cancelled before they ship, by you or by us, are refunded in full.
Trade-ins and the Trading Post
- Trade-in offers are quoted when you send them and hold for 14 days, at 70% of the shop value in store credit. Every card is checked and photographed on arrival. If the reading matches the offer, the credit is added at once; if it comes in lower, you see the photos and the revised figure and can take it or have the cards sent back.
- Cards we can't take (damaged beyond Heavily Played, counterfeit, or not what was described) are returned to you.
- Store credit never expires and comes off automatically at checkout. It isn't exchanged for cash.
- Trades between hunters pass through the shop: both sides ship here, every card is checked and photographed, and anything short of the agreement is put to the trader who was receiving it before anything is cross-shipped.
What we keep on file
- Your account: email, name, password (stored only as a salted hash), and, once you have shipped an order, the address it went to, so the next checkout is quicker.
- Your ledger: the binder, the bounty board, cards marked for trade, orders, trade-ins, and store credit. The binder and bounty board are yours to edit or clear at any time.
- Photos taken at the shop of cards you send in (trade-ins and trades). They stay on the record of that trade-in or trade, and a copy follows the card onto the shelf as its listing photo.
- Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store card numbers.
- Emails we send: order confirmations and updates, trade and trade-in updates, password resets, and back-in-stock alerts for cards on your bounty board (switch those off on your account page). No marketing lists, and your email is never shared or sold.
- Other hunters see only your first name and your trading record, never your email or address, and only if you list yourself in the trader directory.
- To close your account, use “Delete my account” under your profile details. Orders, trade-ins and trades already on the books stay on file with the account detached; everything personal goes, and any store credit is forfeited rather than cashed out. Accounts with an order, trade or trade-in still open can't be closed until it settles.
