FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we get most. If yours is not here, email office@triadgroup.shop or call 561-725-1344 with your order number and we will sort it out.

Orders & shipping

How long until my order ships?

Orders are processed within 1–3 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding holidays). Orders placed after 2:00 PM ET start processing the next business day. During big releases and holiday weeks processing can run to the top of that range. You get a shipping confirmation with a tracking number the moment the label is created.

Pre-order items do not ship until the release date. See Pre-orders.

Where is my tracking number?

It is in your shipping confirmation email and under Track my order (or in the Shop app if you ordered there). Tracking can take up to 24 hours after the label is created to show its first scan. If there is no scan after 2 business days, email us with the order number and we will check the package with the carrier.

Which carrier will deliver my order?

USPS, UPS or FedEx, chosen by package size, weight and destination. High-value orders may ship with signature confirmation. Delivery estimates shown at checkout come from the carrier and are not guaranteed by Triad.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is calculated at checkout from live carrier rates for your address and the size of the package. Local customers can choose free pickup at Triad Wellington.

Can you ship to a PO Box?

Most of our shipments go UPS or FedEx, which cannot deliver to a PO Box. If you enter one, we will email you for a street address before the order ships. Reply with the full street address and we continue processing; reply "cancel" if you would rather cancel.

I entered the wrong address. Can you change it?

Email office@triadgroup.shop right away with the order number and the correct address. If the order has not shipped we update it. Once it has shipped we cannot redirect it; Triad is not responsible for orders sent to an incorrect or incomplete address entered at checkout, and reshipping a returned package is charged at the carrier rate.

Can I ship to a freight forwarder or reshipping service?

Yes, with a signed Freight Forwarder Risk Acknowledgment form and a copy of your ID, which we will email you. Once the package is delivered to the forwarder, the risk of loss, delay or damage beyond that point is yours.

Do you ship internationally?

Checkout shows the carrier rates available to your country. Duties, taxes and customs fees are charged by your country and are not included in our shipping price. Refused or undeliverable packages come back to us; original shipping is not refunded and reshipping is charged.

Lost, late or damaged: who does what

The one rule: Triad is responsible for your package until the carrier scans it Delivered. After that scan the carrier is responsible, and the claim has to come from you, the recipient. We help with every case either way; the table tells you who starts it.
Situation Who is responsible What you do What Triad does
Tracking has not moved for 5+ business days (lost in transit) Triad, as the shipper Email us the order number. We open a trace and a claim with the carrier and keep you updated until it is found or resolved.
Tracking says Delivered but you do not have it Carrier, after the Delivered scan Check all entrances, household members, neighbors, front desk, mailroom and parcel lockers (most turn up within 24 hours). Then file the carrier's missing-package or claim form below and, for higher-value orders, a police report. We send you the shipping details and proof of shipment for the claim and follow up with the carrier on our side.
Package arrived damaged Triad files the carrier claim Keep all packaging. Within 7 days of delivery email us photos of the box, the packaging and the item, plus a short description. We review the photos, file the damage claim and follow up with the resolution once the review is complete.
Wrong item, missing item or quantity short Triad Email us within 7 days with the order number and a photo of what you received. We correct it: the right item ships or you are refunded for the missing piece.
Wrong address entered at checkout Customer Email us before it ships and we fix it free. After it ships, contact the carrier to intercept (fees apply) or wait for it to return to us. We reship a returned package at the carrier rate.
Delivered to a freight forwarder Customer, from the forwarder's scan onward Take it up with the forwarding service. We supply shipping proof if asked.
My tracking has not updated in days. Is it lost?

Carrier scans can skip a few days, especially around weekends and release weeks, and most packages arrive on their own. If there has been no scan for 5 business days, email us the order number. We open a trace with the carrier, and if the package is confirmed lost we file the claim as the shipper and take care of you from there. You do not need to file anything yourself while the package is still in transit.

Tracking says delivered, but I never got it.

First, look around: all entrances, with household members and neighbors, the front desk or mailroom, and any parcel locker. Carriers sometimes scan a package Delivered a few hours before it actually arrives, so give it until the end of the next day.

Still nothing? Once the carrier has scanned a package Delivered, Triad is no longer liable for it, so the claim is filed by you as the recipient. Use the carrier links below. Email us at the same time and we will send you the proof of shipment and any details the claim asks for, and chase the carrier from our side. If your tracking shows the delivery address was not yours, tell us; that is a carrier misdelivery and we will push the trace.

My package or product arrived damaged.

Keep everything: the box, the packing material and the item. Within 7 days of delivery email office@triadgroup.shop with your order number, clear photos of the outer box, the inside packaging and the damage, and a sentence on what is wrong. We file the carrier claim and get back to you with the resolution once the review is done. Reports after 7 days or without photos cannot be claimed with the carrier.

I received the wrong item, or something is missing.

Email us within 7 days with the order number and a photo of what arrived. That is our mistake to fix, and we will ship the correct item or refund the missing one.

Carrier claim links

Use these when tracking shows Delivered and the package is not with you. Have your tracking number, the delivery address and the order total ready.

Carrier Start here When
USPS Missing Mail search · File an insurance claim · Help request form Missing Mail search from 7 days after the mailing date. Insurance claims within 60 days of mailing.
UPS File a UPS claim Lost: after the scheduled delivery date has passed. Damage: within 60 days of delivery. Recipients can file; we can also file as the shipper if you ask.
FedEx FedEx claims Damage or missing contents: within 60 days of the ship date (US). Lost: within 9 months.

Every claim goes faster with a photo of your ID matching the shipping address and, for orders over a few hundred dollars, a police report number. Email us the claim number once you have it and we add it to your order.

Pre-orders

I pre-ordered an item and the "estimated delivery date" in my email has passed. Where is it?

It is not late. The estimated delivery date on Shopify's order and shipping emails is an automatic estimate based on our normal 1–3 day processing time; the system does not know the item is a pre-order. Your pre-order is held until the product's release date, then packed and shipped in release order.

The real date is on the product page: every pre-order listing says "Presale item with an estimated shipping date of MM/DD/YYYY". That is your release and ship date. Release dates come from the manufacturer and can move; when they do, the product page is updated and we post changes on Discord and social. You do not need to contact us before that date.

I ordered a pre-order together with in-stock items. When does it ship?

Mixed orders are held and ship together once every item is in. If you want the in-stock items now, place them as a separate order or email us; a split shipment is charged the second shipping cost.

Can I cancel a pre-order?

Yes, before it ships, with a 10% cancellation fee on the order total (including shipping and tax). A manufacturer release delay does not waive the fee. Once a pre-order has shipped it cannot be cancelled. If the manufacturer cancels the product or cuts our allocation so we cannot fill your order, you get a full refund with no fee.

What if you get fewer copies than were pre-ordered?

Allocations are filled in the order the pre-orders were placed. Anything we cannot fill is refunded in full, no fee, and you are emailed the moment we know.

The price changed after I pre-ordered. Do I pay the difference?

No. The price you paid is the price you keep, up or down.

Returns, cancellations & refunds

Can I cancel my order?

If it has not shipped, email office@triadgroup.shop with the order number and we cancel and refund it. Pre-orders carry the 10% fee. Once a package has shipped it cannot be cancelled; you can refuse delivery, but original shipping is not refunded and return shipping is deducted.

What can be returned?

Because of the nature of collectibles, these are final sale: all trading card game singles and sealed product, blind boxes and mystery items, digital products and gift cards, personalized items, and luxury watches, graded cards and high-value collectibles (unless defective). Other items can be returned within 7 calendar days of delivery in original condition with all packaging and paperwork. Shipping is non-refundable and return shipping is on you unless the error was ours.

My item is defective or not what I ordered.

Report it within 7 days of delivery with photos to office@triadgroup.shop. Confirmed defects and our own errors are fixed at our cost, including return shipping when a return is needed. Factory-sealed product is checked for tampering before it ships; if a seal looks wrong on arrival, photograph it before opening.

When will I see my refund?

Refunds go back to the original payment method as soon as they are approved. Banks and card issuers usually post them within 5–10 business days. Store credit, where offered, is issued the same day.

Order verification

You emailed me to verify my order. Why, and what do I do?

We verify orders where the billing and shipping address do not match, where the address is new to us, or where our payment system flags a risk. It protects you as much as us. Reply to the email from the address on the order confirming that you placed it and that the shipping address is correct; the order is released as soon as we hear back. If we do not hear back within 24 hours the order may be cancelled and refunded so your money is not held.

Why are you asking for my ID?

Only in two cases: freight-forwarder addresses and orders our fraud screen flags. A photo of a government ID matching the name on the order is enough; cover anything you do not want us to see except your name and photo. We do not keep it after the check.

Store pickup

Where do I pick up my online order?

Triad Wellington, 3380 Fairlane Farms Rd, STE 5, Wellington, FL 33414. Choose Pickup at checkout. Orders are usually ready within 24 hours and you get an email when yours is. Bring the confirmation email and photo ID. Pre-order pickups are ready on release day.

Can I switch my order from shipping to pickup, or the other way?

Yes, before it ships. Email us the order number; we change the method and refund or charge the shipping difference.

Store credit, rewards & discount codes

How does store credit work?

Store credit is redeemed in person at our stores on merchandise across all Triad divisions. It cannot be applied to presale items, promotions or already-discounted pricing, has no cash value, and cannot be transferred.

My discount code did not work.

Codes cannot be combined with each other or with presale pricing, and most exclude sealed product on release week. Codes cannot be applied after an order is placed, so check the total before you pay. If a code we sent you personally will not apply, email us before ordering and we will fix it.

How do rewards vouchers work?

Rewards vouchers have a minimum purchase and an expiry printed on the voucher, apply to in-stock merchandise, and cannot be used on presale items. One voucher per order.

Products & condition

Are your sealed products authentic and factory sealed?

Yes. Triad is an authorized retailer for every game we carry and buys directly from the publishers' distributors. Sealed product ships as it arrives from the distributor; minor shelf wear, corner dings or a shifted shrink wrap on the outer box are normal and are not defects.

What condition are your singles?

Near Mint unless the listing says otherwise. Anything Lightly Played or below is labelled in the title and priced accordingly. If a card arrives below the listed condition, email us a photo within 7 days.

Is this item in stock? Can you get it?

If you can add it to cart it is in stock or on pre-order (marked PRE / PRESALE in the title). For anything else, email us the product name; we check allocations with our distributors and reply within 1–2 business days.

Do you buy cards?

Yes, singles and sealed, at the counter in Wellington and by mail. Start on Sell Your Cards.

Events

How do I register for a tournament or event?

Every event is on our events calendar; tickets are bought there or in store. Event tickets are non-refundable but transferable up to the start time. Weekly locals, league nights and Learn to Play sessions are listed the same way. Join the Discord for pairings, changes and prize announcements.
