Got 300 due today. Lets see if that happens

cowboyfaninlr · 02-13-2020, 01:11 PM

I have 350 due today..Curious

Swipe79 · 02-13-2020, 02:43 PM

My 349 due the other day didn't hit - you'll likely see some but not all.

Interesting, as my 744 batch was due 2/11 and hit just after midnight that night, so very early 2/12. All in one giant bundle.

Had 2700 due last night. 150 of them actually processed. (Only slabs and booklets of course) 0 so far today. Looks like I’ll get a big discount on processing fees 🤙

How long of delays have people been experiencing on their orders being shipped? I'm at 3 days past the projected ship point so far.

ForceChange77 · 02-13-2020, 09:35 PM

3 days? They are averaging like 6 days past the date for most stuff

I haven't ever had delays before, that's why I was asking what the current delay level is and putting my information out there for others.

ForceChange77 · 02-14-2020, 12:31 AM

Yea. they are delayed. There have been posts for the last 10 pages or so about it.

adamdavidson47 · 02-14-2020, 07:09 AM

Can someone direct me to the COMC auctions Q and A? I submitted 3 items last week for today's auctions, and they are back into my account NFS. One has a condition note, but the other two have nothing.

mjohnatgt · 02-14-2020, 07:10 AM

The odd thing is that with the submissions being so late, there are very few Challenges available. I would think that COMC would try to outsource the most amount of work at $2/hour or so as possible, rather than paying $15ish for it in Washington.

They are in your account until they go for sale on eBay. You should not be able to price them. That's how they're handling all the cards, despite it being confusing.

Thank you sir!

shrevecity · 02-14-2020, 07:39 AM

Well 300 card submission due on the 13th not one card posted from it. Have another 200 coming up on the 18th.

rmw10 · 02-14-2020, 01:15 PM

After the whole Newgistics debacle, I decided to give COMC another shot. Made an order last week. Shipping date expected to be tomorrow, but based on the replies here, looks like I should be expecting a delay. Might be done with COMC for good at this point. Wouldn't mind delays if it was advertised as such, but if I have to find out via a message board, then I have a problem.

shrevecity · 02-14-2020, 01:26 PM

I think what everyone feared with the auctions has happened. They were already spread thin and now they cannot keep up with everything. This is causing an implosion of everything. Thinking it maybe time to stop sending in and sell my port and cash out.

cowboyfaninlr · 02-14-2020, 01:30 PM

181 of my 350 hit last night so will mean a nice fee discount

base set · 02-14-2020, 02:44 PM

Or ... labor supply is super tight in our country right now. Not completely easy for any business to keep a full roster around.

This is true. The silver lining for me is that I can deal with delays when part of that is due to so many people buying my cards lately

SNobles · 02-14-2020, 03:31 PM

It's interesting. I had a submission that I bought from a US resident shipped to the US location for processing. It was delayed but only by a day or so for about 1/4 of the submission.

I have submitted every other batch via the Canada headquarters and never had a delay. Current batch that is due March 9th has been slowly processing over the last week (10-15 cards most days).

Hopefully things smooth out for all who are having issues with delays.

forjlf · 02-14-2020, 03:54 PM

I could live with them keep moving the dates back on your auction cards if they allowed you to cancel the whole thing but no, instead they just have your cards help up somewhere.

Think I saw a few weeks ago they were paying $14/hr on their hire posts, weren't they?

I can't say for certain but I wouldn't think that's much out there. That's a barely out of high school pay grade here. Wonder if they just can't find good - scratch that, decent - I mean, breathing - people to hire?

This 100%. Unemployment is at 50 year lows, can't keep up with the hiring at that rate for lowish paying jobs. I'm sure if the unemployment rate was up to say...7-8%, they'd have no problem hitting those dates to process things.

mjohnatgt · 02-14-2020, 05:52 PM

But like I'm saying, they could pay thousands of consultants in their underwear $2/hour to identify the cards with Challenges. I don't know why they don't open the floodgates. Gotta be cheaper than actual labor. Or why they don't reopen the other 15 versions of Challenges (MTG, Pokemon, teams, players) to members to solve.

Challenges don't get the cards listed, they just catch errors.
