Group Breaks are a way of purchasing cards where multiple people split the costs of a selection of products. Group Breaks are most often set up to be divided by team, where once the products are open the cards are sorted by team and shipped out to the correct members. 

Group Breaks are a great alternative to buying cases or boxes. For example, a selection of boxes that would cost $1000.00 to purchase would be $33 for a team in a team random.

There are several ways in which a group break can break down. The most common forms of group breaks are team randoms and team selects where once the products are opened, the hits are sorted by team and sent out to the correct members.

Other ways group breaks can be broken down are by serial number, player name, division and sub set.

Once all spots are purchased and paid for, the group breaks will be done LIVE on YouTube and then uploaded at the end of the evening for members to watch at their own leisure.

We accept E-Transfer on our online store for all orders. You simply check the box for paying by E-Transfer and continue the checkout, once the checkout is complete, go to your online banking and send us the E-Transfer for the amount of your order.

PLEASE NOTE – MAKE SURE YOUR NAME/ID IS IN THE NOTES OF THE PAYMENT SO WE KNOW YOU SENT THE PAYMENT.

Once we receive the payment, we will mark you paid. If your payment is not received within an hour of your checkout, we have the right to cancel your order. For Group Breaks, when we are live, you will have only 10 – 20 minutes to send us the E-Transfer as we need to keep moving the breaks when they get filled.

If you have any questions, please contact us and we will help you with the process.

Pre-Order means that the item is not currently available on the market today but it will be on the specific date that is shown. Many suppliers will receive card images and pricing months before the product goes live so this is your chance to get the best price on the product before it sells out. Please note that release dates are subject to change without notice. 

Please note – If you pre-order a box and purchase an in stock box at the same time, we will ship both once the pre-order box arrives. If you would like the in stock product shipped before the pre-order then please call us at 519-954-8278 or email us ([email protected]) to pay an additional shipping fee. If you purchase multiple pre-ordered items that release at different times, you will have to pay for shipping on each release or have them all shipped at the same time once all are in stock.

All sales are final. A 10% restocking fee (Below $500) or 5% restocking fee (At or Above $500) will now be applied to all refunded purchases due to external policy changes. Please note, you can have the total amount deposited into your CNC Reward Points total without a restocking fee.

Occasionally, our distributor will allocate us and we will receive less product than we initially ordered. Because of this, all pre orders are subject to allocation.

When a product has the “Online Only” Icon, it means we do not carry the item in our store and it is brought in when it is ordered. Once the order is received we will contact our distributor and the item should arrive within 2-4 business days at which point the item will ship out to the consumer. If the item is a pre-sale item it will ship once it is released. 

If our distributor no longer has the item in stock, you will be notified and your order refunded. 

All sales are final. A 10% restocking fee will be applied to all canceled “Online Only” purchases.

If there is an out of stock product on our website that you are interested in, email us at [email protected] and we will see if we can get it in for you.
