I hate how Hot Topic does deals.

[Lord Tony®]

Okay so Hot Topic was like yesterday "OMG CHECK OUT THESE DEALS ITEMS MIGHT BE SOLD OUT SOON BUY NOW!" So I placed an order now with regular shipping on the 21st.

Now it's the loving 22nd and there is a deal on 1 dollar shipping so I pretty much got screwed out of 4 dollars if I literally waited a day.

This is terrible like they don't even give you a schedule on when these deals start so how was I suppose to know 1 dollar shipping would be 12 hours away from my initial order? I can't even cancel it either.

companies don't actually want you to get the good deals

[Lord Tony®]

Not only that but the loving items I ordered are still in stock.

If I knew 1 dollar shipping was going to start within the next 12 hours I would have waited.


Why would they do this?

Nothing says dark and rebellious like corporate partnerships.
Want some black phat pants with hello kitty or donald duck embroidery? Hot topic is hardcore like dat.

have you ever heard of any company ever giving you a schedule for when they'll have certain discounts

Playstation occasionally has a calendar of deals.

Newegg does that stuff too.

I called up Hot Topic because my order is still processing. They said I can't change it after an hour passes.

The way they do these deals are terrible.

They offer a shirt for 20% off and make it a big deal. Then 5 hours later it's 50% off and you got screwed.

yeah if you buy things regularly at hot topic and you notice something just went on sale just wait a day or two because itll be lower depending on the item and how fast it sells

like if its a belt that nobody is really buying its sure to go down by a ton
but shirts sell really fast like im surprised by it

[kongo]

riot gives the sales schedule for every month

[Lord Tony®]

The thing is they want people to go out and buy stuff as soon as possible.


So they offer stuff for like 20% off, they know everyone is going to go all over that.

So then the next day that same stuff is 60% off.

No one buys it for 60% off because the majority already loving bought it for 20% off.

So if Hot Topic was already planning on selling it for 60% off then why didn't they just do it from the start? Bait and switch.

It's called business.


Most good places will actually refund you the difference though if you let them know that an item went on sale, or an increased sale, just after you ordered it.

the main question is
why are you shopping at hot topic

I already tried that. They said they couldn't do it despite my order still being processed.

Because all their Fallout bobbleheads are 50% off with the hot cash codes.
