How do I send my Cards?

Once you have sorted your cards according to our criteria listed below and packaged your cards securely, please send your cards to us with a note enclosed containing your name and email address so we can process the order or hand them in to our Kirkcaldy store.

If you are posting to us please send your cards to

Fire & Lightning Collectibles

Unit 23 Mercat Shopping Centre

Kirkcaldy

KY1 1NU

Bulk orders normally take 3-5 working days to process from the time we receive them however during busy period this may take longer.

Please allow additional time for particularly large trade in orders. 

Please Note:

Sorting Cards:

Please sort all cards by rarity and type.

If you send your cards to us for trade in without sorting according to our criteria (please see: 'How do I sort my trading cards for trade in?' in our about us section below for further clarity), then a sorting fee of 20% of the value of the trade in will be applied to your order and deducted from your total once we buy your cards in.  

This fee is to account for the staff cost associated with sorting your order.  

Packing Cards:

Unfortunately we cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused during shipping. Please ensure that your cards are packaged securely to prevent shipping damage.

Pricing & Purchasing:

The price we will pay for 'bulk cards' is listed in the table above. The price listed per 100 but you will be paid for any cards you send in provided they meet our criteria listed above.

For example, if we pay £1.00 for 100 cards but you send in 10, then you will be offered 10 pence.

Due to the price of cards fluctuating on a daily basis, custom quotes on 'Ultra-Rare cards' (cards whose pricing is not listed in the table above) are only valid for 7 days from the time we send them to you. After this time period, we recommend requesting a new quote to avoid disappointment. Card pricing will be re-evaluated and a new quote given prior to purchasing.

Any cards that we cannot trade in (due to poor condition etc.) will be returned to you at your expense or disposed of at your request. 

We will consider purchasing played condition cards from older sets, but please reach out to us about any cards that are below mint / near mint condition before sending them to us to avoid disappointment.

Once we have processed your order, we will send you a breakdown of the final counts of your cards, any charges that have been applied to your order, and the price we are willing to pay in store credit.

If you do not wish to sell your cards to us after we receive them, we can return them to you at your request and at your expense.

If you decide you would like your cards returned to you, any surcharges eg. sorting fees, etc incurred by you must be paid before the cards will be posted back to you.

Additional Ts & Cs:

We reserve the right to refuse any order, for any reason, at any time.

Please note, if we do not receive any communication from you for 28 days after sending you the final counts and pricing offered for your trade in, the order will be considered abandoned. Abandoned orders will be disposed of after this 28 day period. We will attempt to contact you several times throughout this period in an attempt to complete your order prior to labelling it as abandoned.
