💯 legit. Pulled some super rare cards from Pokemon packs. Highly recommend as they don't check decks before putting in the machine. Chances of pulling something good is possible

Be Careful - Negative Reviews are Constantly Deleted.

Be careful. If something goes wrong with your order they WILL delete any and all negative reviews.
Be ESPECIALLY WARY around their mystery boxes. I know the general attitude towards these boxes is already less than favourable but it often feels safer going to a highly reviewed company. Be wary that these reviews are likely so high because negative ones (like mine) get deleted.
I spent 500 smacks on a mystery box and they chucked in back stock along with impossible-to-not-be-weighed packs/products they haven't been able to sell on discount, claiming the value in the box was 'RRP' (basically ignoring the sale price for their own saving benefit). General consensus from the community when asked was complete scam, let alone no personality in the packing itself; everything was shoved in a cardboard packing box.

Hi Chloe,

We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, and we want to address your concerns. To begin with, we assure you that we cannot delete or manipulate reviews on Trustpilot or judge.me, as they are independent platforms designed to ensure transparency and require user verification in order to post reviews. We appreciate all feedback, as it helps us improve our products and services.

Regarding the mystery box you purchased, we understand that the element of surprise can sometimes lead to varying satisfaction levels. We assure you that we pack each box with products that reach or exceed the box's value at retail price. We're sorry if you felt that the items did not meet your expectations.

Your comment about our packing is disheartening to hear. We aim for a positive unboxing experience and take your feedback seriously.

We're a small business, and we value our customers and our reputation in the community. We strive to provide the best service we can, and your feedback helps us improve. We regret any negative sentiments you may have expressed about our business on Facebook.

Good deal for general Pokémon fans, TCG fans or traders may not like it so much as some item in box does not gave you much instant value but more for future potential and long term holds.

Brought a $500 Mystery box from cardbot, the total of items inside the box definitely worth the value (base on prices on Cardbot online store). Some good potential cards bundle/box for investor or collector, but generally they only putting in products that you will still able to find in the market easily, so do not have high expectations on getting vintage stuffs. One of the review on Cardbot’s official website who had also brought $500 mystery box said he got value over $1000, i guess it is depends on your pulls. With sealed products for my box, doesn’t come close to what the reviewer said. Overall it’s a fair purchase, but probably not the best choice for someone targeting certain products or high expectations on getting over value surprises. 5 Stars base on the fast delivery that kept you tracking and generally better than most of the mystery box offered in the market which Cardbot will at least give you equal value of products that you paid for.

Love cardbot

Love cardbot. Only been recently disappointed when I ordered two boxes for myself and my partner and they were practically the same as eachother. We were hoping for a little difference in them.

Mystery pack failure

I generally use cardbot a lot. However this time I got two mystery packs which were duds and identical (such a shame when you've spent $100), but it's wasn't too bad just was annoyed about it being the same thing twice then being told the $100 mystery pack is better like I have all the money in the world lol ideally I'd love the $500 mystery pack but we aren't as well off as each other.

Hi John,

Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your feedback with us. We genuinely appreciate your candidness.

We're sorry to hear your recent experience with our Mystery Packs didn't meet your expectations. As a valued customer, your satisfaction is very important to us. Our $50 Mystery Boxes are designed to be consistent, which is based on feedback we've received previously, especially when purchasing for multiple recipients.

We understand, however, that in cases like yours, buying two can yield similar items, and we can see how that could be disappointing. The intention behind mentioning our higher-priced Mystery Boxes was not to push you towards a more expensive product, but to provide an option for greater variety.

We want to assure you that each Mystery Box, regardless of the cost, is curated to deliver value. In fact, the boxes you received had a total retail value of over $140.

We hope that the super fast dispatch, the authenticity of the products, and the careful packaging made up for part of the experience and we continue to work to improve our service based on customer feedback like yours.

Thanks again for choosing Card Bot, John. We're eager to continue providing you with excellent service, exciting products, and a seamless customer experience. If you have more insights or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you at support@cardbot.com.au.

Kind regards,

Card Bot Support Team
