At my store I usually give out 1 per customer at first, then when all the orders are filled if there are any left, anyone who ordered more than 1 box can get extras.

I might as well jump in here. Is it possible to get these promo's when ordering online and does anybody recommend a site to pre-order at?

As far as I remember, the buy-a-box promos are for brick and mortar stores only. An incentive from Wizards to shop at your local store and keep the community going.

Seems reasonable, it's just that last time I bought a new box online it was about $30 cheaper than any of the stores in my area store sold it for. The shop closest to where I live now charges more than MSRP.

I own a store. One thing you have to think about is that when I order from my distributor, I do not get the same discount that a store that orders 500 cases does. That is why many online stores can afford to charge cheaper. Can you go and play at the online store you ordered that cheaper box from?

this is EXACTLY why I did ask this exact question ...

My LGS was giving me 1 per box and since the last set claim that they only can give 1 per customer no matter the amount of boxes I buy ... and I always get between 1 and 4 cases depending on the set ... so 1 instead of 12 or 24 is a certain change yes ... near to a 50/100$ change or more ...

so thats why I did ask you guys this ...

They charged $15 over MSRP for the commander decks. I haven't checked their box prices, but I'd probably have to special order as their main business is warhammer. The store employee I dealt with was rude, and it took me minutes of standing alone at the counter to get service.

- if you come with 10 friends and each of them buy a box for you then you end up with 10 promo cards ...

- but the good good customer who want to buy 10 boxes to his LGS instead of looking for wholesale price online... get rewarded with a slap in his face saying "you only get 1 per customer"
