UPDATE!

My apologies to EVERYONE. I tried to get as many spots in the Super Bowl Promo, I ended up creating a lot of work for myself with regards to shipping cards. So to answer everyone's question, no, I have not shipped your cards yet. They are sorted, but I have to figure out who is in my other breaks and ship those cards together. I also have to work out refunds and so forth...it's just a lot of work. I apologize in advance because I'm not as fast as some of the other breakers on Blowout. But I'll do my best to get these to you ASAP.

If you have questions about your cards, feel free to PM me. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Without giving out too many details of my personal life, I'm in MAJOR transition right now. That's not an excuse, but I'm just filling you guys in on why it's taking me so long to ship out these cards. With the 3 breaks I did, I have over 50+ packages to put together and ship out. All of this, I take full responsibility for, but I'm just asking that you all would be patient with me. I bit off more than I could handle by doing these 3 breaks.

With that said, here's what I can tell you. I created a master spreadsheet combining all 3 of my breaks into one master list. That way, as I'm packing out, I'll just go straight down the list from A-Z and put everyone's cards together. All of the cards have been sorted, bagged and the autos placed in penny sleeves and toploaders. I just need to start packing and printing shipping labels. Sounds easy, but if you've run a break before, it's a lot to keep a handle on. Trust me...I'd like to snap my fingers and have this all be magically done...but this is the most difficult part of doing group breaks. Sorting and packing out.

I'm sincerely sorry if you were expecting these cards faster and I would not be offended if this turned you away from doing future breaks with me. I just wish I had more time to devote to doing this, because it's what I love doing.

[BloHockeyNut]

When you say you made a list from A-Z is that the persons last name or is that by BO user name?

[BloHockeyNut]

Over a week since the daft has been finished. I do understand that you had 3 breaks going on and other things going on in your life but man this is nuts. And then when a comment is left it takes you a few days to get back. This would never fly on eBay and I think there should be limits to how many breaks one person can do at a time and a time frame in which the cards should be shipped.

Let me put it this way...if I knew things would turn out this way, I would have avoided doing the breaks. Life happens...and it wasn't something I saw coming. If you see my ebay feedback, I always get things out fast. And even my previous breaks, up until I had some stuff happen to me at work, I was fairly quick with that too. I don't want to spill all the details of my personal life on this forum, but I can promise you that there are things going on right now that got in the way of me getting these cards out quickly. At the same time, I'm really sorry...I can only ask that you all would be understanding.

My weekend looks clear, so I should be able to dedicate most of my weekend getting these cards out. I should have them out by Monday.

And that's the BO username. To answer your question.

SATURDAY UPDATE!!!

Look guys, I know some of you are upset that it's taking me so long to get these cards out. I don't have a good excuse. I've apologized a million times. Case Breaking is NOT easy...it's a HUGE investment of time. Almost like a full time job.

I've spent a better part of my morning packing the cards. I'd say I'm about halfway done. I have dinner plans this evening, so whatever does not get finished now, I'll finish tonight and tomorrow morning. I should have all of this in the mail Monday morning.

I've already had one person open a dispute with me on PayPal. I think that's really unnecessary, but I can't stop you from doing so. If you are in that much of a rush to get your cards, please PM me directly and I will pack your cards first to ensure it goes out Monday. It should be unnecessary since I should have all of my packing done by tomorrow. But PM me anyway because I'd rather work this out here on Blowout, then to have you open a dispute over PayPal.

Also, if you don't remember me saying so, I will be refunding some people some of the shipping cost if you bought multiple slots. Especially the 5+ spot folks. I won't be able to do this if you open a dispute because PayPal removed the option to refund once you open the dispute. So I encourage you not to do so. If you don't get a delivery confirmation from me by Monday morning, I encourage you to open a dispute if you feel it necessary.

Needless to say, this experience is making me regret doing these group breaks. I'll have to rethink this whole process because the time spent and frustration is not worth it. Thanks to all who have been patient with me...it is VERY much appreciated right now.

WOW, No comment. Okay Just 1. You might want to PM everyone that as they might not get this in there email. Okay 2 you should do something to make this right. I was holding off until today to file a claim but seeing this post I will hold off until Monday.

And have a nice dinner.......

One thing you have to consider, I don't get paid to do these breaks. I make no money nor do I get anything out of it other than the satisfaction of pulling a nice card. As the BO rules state, the cost calculations do not factor in some kind of profit for me, the breaker/host. So if you think about it, I'm doing this all for free. The long hours, the sorting, packing and driving to the post office. It's all coming out of my pocket at no cost to the people participating.

But I understand that if you put your money in for cards, you expect to get your cards back. And I also understand that a reasonable amount of turn around time is expected. And that's why I've apologized profusely. I only ask that everyone be patient with me...that's all. Anyway, this is a moot point now since I plan to get these cards out...but I'm just saying. I can't wait to finally be done with this break. It's been a dark cloud in the midst of the other stuff I'm dealing with right now.

[pakman916]

In case you need visual evidence...

[raidersfan1983]

honestly people you need to chill... it's not like it is a hot new product, if it takes a bit of time to get the cards it is ok... honestly relax people, they will get to you before the baseball season starts which is when most of you will be selling them anyways...

pakman, THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK, I AT LEAST APPRECIATE IT!!

ALMOST FINAL UPDATE!!!

Home Stretch!!! I've got all the packaged sorted and labels printed!!! WOOT!

Now I just need to put the finishing touches on everyone's packages (make sure they don't get damaged in transit) and to figure out all the refunds. You should have received an email from paypal regarding DC. Or maybe not. If not, I'll send out PMs after lunch. I'm STARVING!

[BloHockeyNut]

No DC here.

[pakman916]

Okay...so here's where I'm at...

I don't have enough room in my Mailbox to send out DC to everyone individually. I started to add DC to the PayPal transaction, but it's taking me forever since the PayPal site is slow as molasses.

I will send out PMs to a few people that have contacted me asking where their cards are. If you have not asked about your cards and would like you DC, send me a PM or post on this thread and I will send you a PM.

I need to put labels on all of the packages tonight, so for the sake of time, I'll revisit the DC via PM tomorrow when I can go through my inbox. Sorry for the change, but it's either get the packages ready or spend the next 2 hours emailing PMs. If I get done packing early, I'll take another stab at emailing/updating PayPal/PMing the DC. Actually, I can email DC to everyone...that would be the fastest way. Would that work?

[cwbennett]

Don't worry about it buddy people should be happy you did the break it does take alot to do one i commend you for it and there is always one in the bunch if you know what i mean

[pakman916]

BEST FEELING EVER!!!



I'M DONE!!! (Unless something happens to me on the way to the Post Office.)

All sorted, packed and labeled. I promised you guys I'd have delivery confirmation emailed to you, but I'm about to keel over...it's 3:30AM and I have to be at work by 9AM...it's not going to be a fun day. Like I mentioned in the previous post, if you are hard pressed to get DC from me, PM me. If not, I'll get around to emailing you DC later.

Also, I'll do all the refunds I owe people tomorrow night (Monday night).

Thanks everyone...
