Yeah, I was afraid that’s the case. But the art style and the mystery thing are both up my alley. Maybe I’ll get it at the next sale, try it out for ~10-15min and then get a refund if it’s too much for me to bear.
Semi-related to that (and true to my title) I recently got a refund. Brain-afk me ordered 2 copies of the same book by mistake and found out that - in order to send them back to Book Depository - I would have to send them to Australia. Yup, despite them being shipped from the UK and returns that are sent back due to being undeliverable go to Belgium, I, who is located closer to both of those countries, have to send it around the globe to Australia. And the shipping cost would be ~10,25€. Which is close to or more than the books are worth that I usually order. Just this once they made an exception so I can keep the book and still get a refund.
And good thing I checked my pre-orders cause apparently I also ordered 2 other books twice. Luckily they’re not yet being shipped to me and I got a refund approved, so I’ll see if they really cancelled them.
But this is rather annoying and anti-consumer. They could at least prompt a notification before ordering so you know you either are about to order something that you already bought from them or warn you about quantities (I assume ordering multiple copies of the same book isn’t something people usually do).
Anyway, I’ll have to keep better track of the books I (pre-)order so this doesn’t happen again.
Other than that…as of next Friday I’ll only be missing 10 CDs in my Die Drei Fragezeichen collection, including all special CDs (excluding one signed CD…not gonna hunt that one down).
What’s everyone else up to?
