I've had it with this scam! I didn't order from some unheard of company on the other side of the world! There needs to be some recourse to solve this! I guess I need to report it as fraud to the credit card company and see if I can get some help that way.
Given that most other people on Reddit & other places have received their physical copies just fine, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this has zero to do with Beyond or WotC.
It's more likely that someone or something got some kind of clerical bit wrong long after you ordered.
Did you check, for example, on whomever was supposed to ship it(Amazon, USPS, FedEx, etc)? Do you live somewhere relatively remote from the nearest Amazon/FedEx hub or post office? Maybe there was something else, like the government shutdown, that affected things?

I am on the "other side of the world" and I got my copy just fine by buying at my Friendly Local Gaming Store.
If you ordered from D&D Beyond, and want recourse, then answer:
I'm new to DM'ing and have just bought this to try with a group of friends. I got the physical copy from a local shop that said it was the ultimate bundle. Anyone know where / how I can get to the digital content?
As far as I know, the Ultimate Bundle is only available for purchase on dndbeyond.com (for US shipping) or dndstore.wizards.com (for international shipping).
Assuming there was a version available in stores, I’d expect there to be a redemption code either in the box or provided by the store.

Note that there appears to be a typo on all weapon cards with the Vex Weapon Mastery in HOTB.
Vex is supposed to be:
"If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your nextturn."
But unfortunately the HOTB cards read:
"If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your turn."
The word "next" has been omitted, significantly changing the mechanic.
Thanks, finally got a response. They are refunding some, but not all for some reason. Ordered on Amazon and received next day for cheaper. Now I have to consider my forgotten realms pre order
I did, but they were very quick to remove my digital access. So, it looks like I need to start the process over again to get access or a further refund?
I have an update on my situation: I could redeem the code I was given and I now have the Heroes of the Borderlands digital set available. But I'm (really) worried about the status on my physical one.
I have not received any e-mails regarding my HotB status. I don't know even if it was shipped or anything. And what worries me is that my HotB order does not appear on my account's order history, even if I paid for it 3 months ago, so it's like I never ordered it.
Is there anything that can be done here? I have WotC's e-mail with my order number as proof, if necessary.

ModeratorIf you bought the Ultimate Bundle, they may have refunded only the cost of the physical item, not the digital one. Either way, glad you got it!

ModeratorBy default, it shows only orders from the last three months. Does it show your status here instead, with the date extended?
