E-Mail Problems Persist…

 

Hello!

Hope everyone’s week is going well!

We’re having some technical difficulties; namely our e-mail account/server/host/thing  is suffering from an “Internal Error [Serverbug]”.

Consequently, we’re unable to send/receive e-mail from info@thundergroundcomics.com

In the interim, I’ve sent up a temporary e-mail account: roykim_TG@yahoo.ca that I’ve been using since Tuesday.

So, if you’ve sent me an e-mail and it bounced back to you, it’s because of this issue our host is going through. We are def here and open for business.

Regards,

Roy Kim

B. Rules:

1. Please be patient. I can only help so many people at the same time. There will be flyers available at the door, please use the backs to write down what you’re looking for. Also, please form a line and I will do my best to help everyone on a First Come, First Serve basis.

2. Discounts do NOT stack. One discount only per item.

3. All sales are final. No returns. No Exchanges.

4. All quantities are limited to what I have onhand. No substitutions. No rainchecks.

5. No holds.

 

Why no returns or exchanges?

Believe me, I’ve had buyers’ remorse just like everyone else. But when we have a discount scale based on a purchase minimum (like our Warmachine and Warhammer 40K sale), it makes taking a return or exchange difficult.

I hope everyone doesn’t find this too oppressive =)

Roy Kim
