Changing servers? You base this on what?

Let me tell you (and this is fact) that their domain name has expired and they haven't renewed it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

NOTE that i said "MAY", not they are, or 'IS FACT', this is an assumption. I am not disputing the fact it has lapsed. But i would like you to you try and get it! u can not yet.

According to Melbourne ITs domain register their domain has expired as of yesterday
There is a renew prohibited flag that will come up once the domain becomes available, this has not yet happened, so they have time to CHANGE servers and renew the domain name..... fair assumption i would have thought.

Damn now how can people buy their awesome new cricket set!

graham · Dec 22, 2010

thanks for the lesson but I do understand how the system works. Dealing with it every day helps with this.

I think it's more likely that I'm going to be abducted today by fifty green men in a UFO then select letting their domain expire and arranging for a server change at the precise time of this occurring. But you believe what you what to believe. I'm done - don't want to waste my time arguing with an idiot.

I am not argueing the point, as i said, it was an assumption on what i saw.... i never debated the fact that they let it expire..... stupid yes... but
Was just trying to come up with logical reason, if that makes me an idiot then more fool you... if i am wrong, which i may well be, then who cares, no skin off my nose....it stil less far fetched then select being shut down... you seem to be arguing with yourself, trying to provoke an arguement from me like a little kid ?? Why?

Either way, piss poor professionalism from Select.

But what else can we expect?

Not great considering the Ashes sets only just came online and there is now no way to purchase them!

Wheeldude · Dec 22, 2010

Good News!!! Select Australia have posted on their wall.

Wishing all our collectors a Merry Christmas and a safe and successful 2011.

I can hear the sigh of relief in all those Ashes fans.

I would consider this a blessing in disguise!! It is a RUBBISH set.

I had an issue with them a few months ago.
Purchased a box of 2010 Champions - 6 packs no GDC's and a few other packs where the cards look like they have been cut with a guiletine.

Just opened a box of Prestige last night..no DPS, no redemption.

It's absolute crap

Just tried to e-mail Select and now the e-mails are bouncing back!
Pathetic.

BLOWN8 · Dec 22, 2010

Most companies would let their customers know when they shut down and when they start back up again, and also what to do in the mean time if you have any problems. lets face it guys, Select have proven time and time again that they couldnt give a sh*t what we say or what we think, its as simple as that.

adam456 · Dec 22, 2010

Has anyone ever complained to them about not receiving DPS's in a box and they have supplied them? or should I just not bother at all?

This will be the 2nd Prestige box Ive bought and this has happened. They should replace the bloody boxes.

Wockrog · Dec 22, 2010

Nood good complaining ain't nobody there to answer

adam456 · Dec 22, 2010

yeah i figured...i meant when they come back...

crows2010 · Dec 22, 2010

They will say the odds don't reflect the actual averages blah blah

Wockrog · Dec 22, 2010

I reckon they do send one if you complain send them an email at info@selectaustralia.com.au the persons name is Di (unless they haven't renewed their email address too)

adam456 · Dec 22, 2010

maybe I should send them a link to this thread lol

crows2010 · Dec 22, 2010

They read all this stuff mate - and they still sit on their hands and don't do anything to please collectors.

How many times have people asked for more jerseys, patches, autos, multi patches, dual autos etc etc

boofhead · Dec 22, 2010

Ive redeemed a few cards, ive always supplied sleeves and top loaders.
And a polite note asking them to send cards back in sleeves and toploaders.
No problem yet, always sent back promtly.

Yep emails won't work either until they renew their website name

they can't be too bad this is what somebody wrote about them quote:
Select Australia

Select Australia Pty Limited (Select) is a well established producer of quality collector cards, based in Sydney's northern suburbs. The company's origins started in 1983 as a magazine distributor and turned to collector card production from 1993.

Select's philosophy has been to utilise its highly experienced staff to concentrate on a small number of quality sporting licenses. Licenses are currently held from the AFL and NRL.

Select is without doubt the leading Australian manufacturer of collectable football cards in Australia and enjoys a strong reputation for quality designs, quality printing, unique inserts and reasonable prices.

Time to boycott Select...
