Wait time on COMC orders?
 

Been a while since I bought off there, was just wondering what's been the wait time lately to receive bought items? Thanks.

44 cards requested 7/21, shipped on 8/1. Originally was told the end of August I believe.

My last was ~60 cards, economy shipping, requested on 8/3 and originally estimated to arrive 9/6, but I had them in hand on 8/19. Nice to get a pleasant surprise

Put in a shipment request on 8/21 opted for the $9.99 shipping with 8/31 delivery and got an email this morning they had shipped so appears they are right on time if not a bit ahead. That said the cheapest shipping option of $4.99 had an estimated delivery of 9/24. IMO if you don't want to wait a month plus the extra $5 is worth it.

eonomy requested on 8/17...got the shipment notification this morning

Requested on 8/10 and shipped 8/21, super fast compared to anything in the last 4 years or so. Either they are getting their act together or business is slowing down. I imagine it’s a bit of both, but completely a guess on my part. Happy with the quick turn around though.

About 600 cards so not a small order.

Too bad there isn't a month wait right now.

I paid the middle rate. I think it was $38 for 68 cards. Seems a little high, but at least they shipped priority (should've been Express as much as they charged me). Took about 2 weeks from the time I placed the order to when I received them.

Just did rushed shipment request last week and got them this week ahead of schedule.

There is very little reason right now to pay extra on shipping. If it starts getting backed up again that is a different story, but having my cards in 10 days versus 6 is not worth $20-40 depending on the size of the shipment.

Do you get a tracking number on the cheaper 3.99/4.99 shipping prices?

Yes, there is tracking provided USPS.

I had one standard order ship within a week of request earlier this month. Unfortunately, they overstuffed the box and many got damaged in shipment. Most were less than a buck and not worth escalating. I will no longer order ~80 cards. It will either be 60 or 100+ so the dolts don't do that again.

I put in a request last week for 60 cards and it has a 9/17 estimate but it's looking likely it will ship late next week if the counter is any guide.

If you load up there Black Friday week, get your shipment request in before end of that week else you'll be waiting a while longer.

I've had 2 of the cheapest 4.99 Econo shipments in the last 2 months of 400+ and 100+ cards - One got to me in 12 days - the other 18 days.

Hi all,

I am sorry if this is one of those "third rail" discussions, so please excuse my ignorance here in resurrecting an old thread.

Just wondering what I should be expecting in terms of wait times for an order. I placed one on November 14th. Sixteen cards, most of them commons (all of them found in base sets). It hasn't yet shipped (today is 12/7) and now it's telling me that my estimated date is 12/30... and there are 261,000 items in front of mine.

Is this standard? What should I expect?

Comc gets slammed every year around this time and takes months to ship.

Just requested a shipment and it said there are 395,000 cards ahead of my order. So, it's gonna be a while.

It's been almost 8 weeks each for both of my last two orders. Settle in.

My last order from them was Nov 23rd and delivered December 1.

Status:
Tracking: Not Shipped Yet
Date Requested: 11/17/2025
Estimated Ship Date: 1/3/2026
Items Ahead of My Order: 302,034

I'd note that how long it takes to ship your order is to some extent a function of how complex your order is......the simpler it is, the faster is will ship.
