By submitting a Bulk Trade-In request through the Pete's Stop website, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

Pete's Stop reserves the right to amend these Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice.

2. Quote Estimates

The Bulk Calculator provides an estimated value based on the quantities and categories entered by the customer.

All quotes, estimated values, postage contributions and total payments displayed by the calculator are estimates only and are subject to verification upon receipt and inspection of the cards.

Pete's Stop reserves the right to adjust any valuation where:

• Quantities received differ from those submitted.
• Cards are incorrectly categorised.
• Cards do not meet the required condition standards.
• Cards are not eligible under our current buying rates.
• Cards are found to be counterfeit, altered or otherwise unsuitable for purchase.

3. Confirmation Required Before Sending

Customers must submit the Bulk Trade-In form and wait for a confirmation email before sending any cards.

The confirmation email will contain:

• Confirmation of the submission
• Shipping instructions
• Packaging requirements
• Payment information

Please do not send cards until you have received a confirmation email from Pete's Stop.

Pete's Stop reserves the right to refuse unsolicited submissions.

4. Accepted Cards

5. Sorting Requirements

Cards must be accurately sorted into the appropriate categories before being submitted.

Pete's Stop reserves the right to adjust valuations where cards have been incorrectly classified.

For larger submissions, cards should be bundled and organised to assist with processing.

Failure to sort cards correctly may result in processing delays.

6. Packaging & Shipping

Customers are responsible for ensuring cards are packaged securely for transit.

We strongly recommend using a tracked postal service, particularly for larger submissions.

Pete's Stop cannot accept responsibility for items lost, damaged or delayed whilst in transit to us.

The customer remains responsible for the shipment until it has been successfully delivered and received by Pete's Stop.

7. Postage Contributions

Pete's Stop may offer a contribution towards postage costs on qualifying submissions.

Any postage contribution displayed by the calculator or referenced in correspondence is an estimate based on the information supplied by the customer.

The final postage contribution will be determined using the final approved trade value following inspection of the cards received.

Pete's Stop reserves the right to amend, suspend or withdraw postage contribution offers at any time.

8. Inspection & Processing

All submissions are subject to inspection upon arrival.

Inspection may include verification of:

• Card quantities
• Card categories
• Card condition
• Card authenticity

Pete's Stop aims to inspect and process submissions within 1–3 working days of receipt, although processing times may vary during busy periods.

9. Valuation Adjustments

Where discrepancies are identified between the submitted quote and the cards received, Pete's Stop may revise the valuation.

If a significant adjustment is required, Pete's Stop will contact the customer before payment is issued.

The customer may choose to:

• Accept the revised valuation, or
• Request the return of their cards

Return postage costs are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed.

10. Payment

Once inspection has been completed and the final valuation has been agreed, payment will be issued via the customer's selected payment method.

Available payment methods may include:

• Bank Transfer
• PayPal

Pete's Stop aims to issue payment within 24 hours of final approval.

11. Ownership of Cards

Ownership of cards remains with the customer until the final valuation has been accepted and payment has been issued.

Once payment has been made, ownership of the cards transfers permanently to Pete's Stop.

• Counterfeit or altered cards
