1. BEFORE THE DROP (STAY READY)
Update Info: Ensure your address and matching billing info are saved in your PC account.
Stay Logged In: Log in early.
Backup Pay: Have a backup (like PayPal) ready in case your card is declined.
2. WHEN THE DROP STARTS
Watch the monitor channels for the "Queue is Live" alert.
THE GOLDEN RULE: > DO NOT click product links directly from Discord. This triggers bot-detection errors.
Right-click the link and Copy Link.
Open a new browser tab.
Paste the link into the URL bar manually.
Move Steady: Do not spam-click or refresh rapidly. You will get banned or errored out.
Search Bar: If links aren't working, copy the Product ID and paste it into the site’s search bar.
3. PRE-ORDER KNOWLEDGE
Pay Later: You are charged only when the item ships, not when you order.
Auth Holds: You might see a "pending" charge immediately; it will disappear after a few days.
The Safety Net: If your card fails during shipping week, PC will email you. Check your Spam folder. You usually have a small window to update payment before they cancel.
4. IMPORTANT RULES
No Multiples: Do not place multiple orders for the same item on one account. It leads to cancellations or "soft bans."
Be Patient: "Silence" from PC is normal. You won't hear anything until the item is actually moving to the warehouse.
