Pokemon Center 30th Anniversary Pre-Orders Delayed in UK

Pre-orders for Pokemon TCG 30th Anniversary products from the Pokemon Center in the UK have been delayed. The official website is currently experiencing delays in processing and shipping orders. The first wave of products in the Pokemon 30th Anniversary set is scheduled to release worldwide on Wednesday, September 16. However, fans in the UK who ordered through the Pokemon Center will have to wait longer to receive their items.

A banner on the Pokemon Center UK website details the issue. It states that orders may take longer than usual to be dispatched and delivered due to current processing delays. Concern among buyers grew over the weekend because many customers have not yet been charged for their pre-order products.

The Pokemon Center typically charges for pre-orders when the shipping process begins, which usually happens a week before the release date. Because those payments have not been processed yet, customers have no clear indication of when their products will arrive. It appears that these fulfillment issues only affect buyers in the UK. Users in the United States have reported that their pre-order payments have already started to clear ahead of the upcoming release date.
